Hi Guys.

I just finished my Beast , this will be used for primarily gaming and video/photo editing. I wont overclock her at this stage, thats why i went for the ASUS over the DFI board.

Any other ways to improve performance etc.

These scores are just stock, straight from the box..no tweaking.

No, they are just very well designed. The fans are nothing like the huge copper one on my 6800 Ultra. It's a very quiet machine actually, the only noise is a quiet purring from the PSU fan.
 
Thanks guys,

The prices of PC parts in Australia is huge compared to the States. I want to move over there, just to have access to the bet stuff cheap..LOL

Very nice Ronin. Very colourful, looks great for LAN's.
 
Not sure why it was so expensive for you really though.

Built my machine last weekend and came to $3600Aus with the only real spec differences (ie not brand differences) are the 4800 x2 vs my 3800 x2, and the additional cost of your monitor, speakers and printer.

Did you buy from computer markets, online or an actual store?
 
You shoulda saved $500 and not gotten the 2nd 7800 and instead spent some money on some decent furniture.

Your desk looks like ass, man.
