Sparda Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Why do you want the kw power supply? I mean, you would need like 20 hard drives to get any where close to using a kw of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobotChild Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Have you checked if the 8800GTX will fit in the Antec 900? It is eleven inches long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 For a sound cards, I would go with the Pro Tools HD3 or the RME HDSP 9652. The two are at different ends of the pricing range but if you have the cash, always go with Pro Tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-repli...cfm/607713.html Issues with the 900 ^ Antec, has been my favourite company for cases for a while now. I'm in love with the P180, and the 8800GTX does fit in their. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811129017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 If your spending this much money, get someone else to assemble it and test it. No, its not quite as l33t, but since computers are like lego, I don't see how you can brag about putting one together. Plus, you get the added advantage of someone else having to worry about all the bits fitting together and any compatibility issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 You could have a look at VapoChill computer cases, I’ve never used one but they seem cool, although I don't like the way they look. http://www.vapochill.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haxorflakes Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 ok well it does seem like a lot but im on a price limit because my parents are getting this for me as a gift and i thought it would be cool to put it together, but vako, your saying not to. 1. How much would someone charge (estimate, ik it can be very varied, but just an estimate.) 2. I have installed ram, vid card, and pwoer supply, so i have a little experience, how hard is mother board andprocesser? 3. will all this work together or do parts conflict?

VaKo Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 9 times out of 10 it will be fine, but every now and again you will run across stuff that just never seems to work together. Like the current problem with the latest nforce chips and some Intel processors. And its not that putting a computer together is hard, its pretty much like lego as I said. But in general, I would pay to have it put together by someone else if its new. That way, you can be sure it will work. These people seem to be ikinda what your after: http://www.vadim.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Also, if nothing else, RTM for the motherboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also works into getting a assembly warrenty, not bad just incase u run outta screws and need to use ductape (*sigh* has been done b4). and yeah for the compatibility then will organise that, though i have had some do it for me with out getting them to put it together, just ordered all parts from them (for ppl in Aus Vic, Scorptech.com.au) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ABC Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 It is eleven inches long. reminds me of something i have ;) as for a sound card .. try the xfi gamer edition, but don't buy a good sound card and cheap speakers. again don't buy an 8800 and play it on an anolouge VGA CTR monitor. i recently did my first build (xmas day) and now have it hooked up to my 26" HDTV (via HDMI) and i havent had to move from bed for a whole 48hrs (apart from toilet and food) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 How much would someone charge (estimate, ik it can be very varied, but just an estimate.) It varies wildly. Given the size of your purchase I'd be surprised if you couldn't talk the shop you're getting all this from into assembling it for you for free. I can't imagine them charging over 50 bucks for it. It's called service. If they want more money, take your business elsewhere, as you won't be able to rely on them if something were to turn out wrong anyway.

Matt {Undead} Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah the 8800 is massive, I had problems getting it in my new rig because the hdd screws wouldnt align up when pushed back. So I had to stick the card right at the bottom of my case, temp 65-80c depending on what im doing. £480 worth of massive bad ass g card lol.

metatron Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I use large cases designed for servers, so I had no issue fitting two 8800 in my main desktop. If your one of those guys that are more worried about how the computer looks instead of how fast/well it runs, you’re going to have issues.

RobotChild Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1115861 Good list of cases the 8800GTX will/will not fit into. I know a ton of the Lian Li cases can fit SLi GTXs with ease. If I were to get one I'd consider a full tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
