I bought it from Falcon Northwest. AMD Athlon FX-55, 1 gig of ram, 2 Nvidia 6800 GT's, 600 watt power supply, Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcard and 2 120 gig hd. Everything working great so far. It came with the 66.93 drivers installed. Are those the best ones for Half Life 2? Thanks!!!
 
Congrats on just spending your childrens collage fund! are you a lawyer or a doctor? 😀
Seriously though, what did that monster cost? and I'm with qul, lets hear the benchmarks!!! Oh, and congrats (for real this time)
 
Actually, it was a Christmas present. What is the most accurate benchmark available? I would like to see just how fast it is. It cost about $4,600.00
 
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! a present. I hate you. (out of jealousy, of coarse) 3dmark is a good, but you have to buy the full version (shouldn't be a problem for you [maybe that'll be in you stocking]) but there are also lots of others. I'm sure ther is probably a topic on "the best benchmark" or something like that floating around here. Do a search.
 
hehehe.. .
4600 eh?

i woulda just asked for the money instead and built my own 🙂

but that must be one fast system you go tthere... .🙂
 
Hey now guys. It was a gift.


...


But their right.

I hate you too.

Congratulations and stop posting! BENCH BENCH BENCH! PLAY PLAY PLAY!!!
 
yes, yes, we all hate you! welcome to the forums! LOL! :laugh:
WAIT, I just thought of a way to make everyone love you, instead of hate you. piece up the computer and send random parts to each of us as gifts!!! (I'm sure we'll all be happy with whatever parts we get, right guys?) Wadda ya think? 😀 come on, be a pal.

Kidding, kidding! it's all in fun! Enjoy your new kick-a machine!

PS - is this your first?

That is some crazy money to lay on a box:Q! Congrats on the new rig and get those benchmark numbers posted.
 
Falcon NW is very solid.
If I has unlimited bucks they are one of the very few boutiques I'd consider.

They will have it all loaded to bare with any drivers and OC settings to max it all out.

 
who gave you the present? The Dean's wife as hush money??? Hope you are still gettin some if that's the case...

Only 1 gig of RAM! Sheese! No 'Raptor' RAID 0! Double Sheese. Only 6800GT's (NO ULTRAS) triple Sheese. I think who ever bought it for you got ripped two new ones!
 
Forgot a few components. Zalman 7000 Alcu cpu cooler, 2 Maxtor Diamondamax 9 120gb Sata. I just ran 3d Mark05 and received a score of 8650. That was with 1024x768, no aa, no af. Is that good for my system?
