hardnrg Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Had a day off work today, got the flu... bloody annoying... anyway, after Vampire's post about getting a new case, I thought I'd give myself a nice healthy dose of online retail therapy... potentially dangerous, but usually bears great results! Soooo, here's my list off stuff I bought (in white text), also the stuff in orange should have been bought by my dad over in the states (I paid him to buy it cos those parts are WAY cheaper over there)... then a couple things I can get at work on discount YAY! It's all coming together... I've already physically got the heatsink, the white n blue stuff will be here in a few days, then the orange I have to wait for my parents to come over to the UK... ah well, I can prepare the case n stuff, do some cable sleeving and molex changing, maybe cut out the fan grills, might paint the interior, i'll get some UV ccfl's later on i think when i've got everything together... probably gonna stick with my 9800pro for a while, should be cool cos I'm hoping to oc my DTR chip to 2.5-2.7... hopefully i won't get a dud!!! meh anyway, i'm gonna go eat now and try and get healthy or something, just wanted to say YAY and list my new rig specs cos I've been bangin on about it for a while now here and there... my current rig'll probably get the GF2-GTS outta my P3 rig, and the P3 will get the crappy AGP card that i don't even know what it is (it was part of a swap ages ago). so i can have my current rig as a music production computer cos it's got the LiveDrive audio bay and I'll put the kX drivers on it.... ok ok, i know i'm rambling, but hey, i'm ill so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Thats a pretty nice setup. I've heard great things with the 3200+ DTR and dfi lanparty UT. I hope that you enjoy it, I loved my leap into a64, and might take another leap into 939 in the next 5 months Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 well, if the price is right, the MOBO and Processor would be jolly nice... how much for postage?! hehe...maybe a personal delivery service?! let me know if you do wanna part with it....maybe the ram too....i need another rig - my P4 is being an arse.

DECwakeboarder Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Do the DTR's stay any cooler than the regular desktop chips? The only difference I saw in them is they don't have an IHS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
