Rofl this is a funny thread... I really doubt the OP is actually going to build this rig 😛. And btw, that EXTREME sound card sucks more than the onboard audio.
 
I would laugh, but I have a HP 420i DVD writer that I eventually want to put into a system I have dubbed the "Hempron." It would use as many parts with 420 in their model number as possible (for example, I'd use an X700 graphics card, since it has the RV420 graphics chipset). When I'm done, I'll probably put it up on e-Bay and see who bites. Stupid, yes. But also fun.
 
DUDE! All my friends are going to be jealous of how EXTREME my computer is. Usually computers aren't EXTREME but when I make them they're EXTREME! Usually we do EXTREME activities like snowboarding, mountain biking, skate boarding and kayaking. I want to show them that using a computer can be EXTREME too! I just need to final parts and I'll order everything and if I can find a digital camera with EXTREME in it's name I'll take pictures of me putting it together in the most EXTREME way possible, which would probably be while sky diving!
 
Well...since the price of this "EXTREME" computer is already going to hit $4000...why not take the plunge in to phase change cooling...since it is considered "EXTREME" cooling.

While your still at it, take that crappy case to an auto shop and get a custom, "EXTREME", automotive quallity, paint job.

I want to see the final price over $10,000.00 USD. That would be "EXTREME!" :roll:
 
No offense kiddo, but you are an idiot.

No one cares if you have 'extreme' in every freaking part in your computer, it doesnt matter. You are spending money on stupid stuff. You should be whipped.

Go donate your money to chartity, because you are wasting it on crap, and you are looking like an idiot in the process.
 
Well once you buy all your pats that have Extreme in the name, you can have one extremely crappy computer and wasted a whole lot of money.
 
you guys are taking him too serious, it's kinda obvious he's joking. he got a x800xl, and he said it in here.
just play along and help him
 
I agree with Stevty...I just looked over all your parts, and wow...that was a lot of crap!

First off, the only thing extreme about the Intel P4EE is the price...nothing more.
The Ram is lousy...why not go with Corsair's XMS (eXtreme Memory Speed) RAM? It has flashy little LEDs on the top!
The motherboard is crap. Simple as that.
I highly doubt that your porn collection will ever fill up .25% of the hard drive. So why get a 1TB drive?
The video card isn't extreme by any means...I think SLI is extreme, either that or the ATI X850

You do know that manufacturers add the word "extreme" as a sales gimic...right?
 
Why not built a real extreme computer?

Not just accumulate a bunch of parts because they have extreme in the name. Most of the crap thats named extreme is far from it, its a marketing term used to try and squeeze a few more dollars out of mediocre parts.

The parts list for a real extreme computer would be something like this

Vapochill LS $850
Lian Li Case $200
DFI Ultra D SLI $180
AMD X2 4800+ $1050
2 x 7700GTX video cards $1200
600w power supply (u pick) $250
1 GB OCZ VX memory $280
2 x 74gb raptors Raid0 $380
2 x 400gb SATA Raid1 $350


Total $4740

Overclock this bad boy to about 3.1ghz and you've got the definition of extreme. It would stomp up and down on that girlie machine your building.

Add about 400-500 dollars for Danger den watercooling for the video cards/hard-drive and chipset. Overclock those 7700GTX to the EXTREME

lol

I'll believe it when I see it. 😉
 
Oh you'll see it alright! When you do you'll say, "THAT IS SO ****ING EXTREME!" then jump through your window and grab a skateboard and rush down the street doing EXTREME 360 back flip ollies over people's cars! Now that is EXTREME!
 
Don't forget this bit of "Extreme" music. Your system won't be complete without that CD ripped to your hard drive in Ogg Vorbis format. You might even want to use some of the tracks for your boot up music. That would be truly Extreme. 🙂
