OT: New PC!

Thanks! Think I've got me a proper system now, so all that's left is to appropriate the funding for it. Actually, I already have the funding for it, what I need to do is get my *** a job so that I don't have to use my savings to stay afloat. And spending two grand on a new computer when you're jobless is just not a good idea. Unless you've got way more money than I do, anyway.

Could you shrink the link? Thanks.

OK, but now it's broken. I hope you're happy.

Hmmm….Not sure what the link was to, but it looks like it might have been to a Chiller? If so, they will let you make some real good OC’s, but they are in and of themselves, as big pain in the butt.

Threadium Resurectus!

Still don't have my new PC, I'm considering waiting until Feb when nVidia releases it's next generation video cards, since that'll drive down the price of the ones I want. Or at least until after Christmas when shipping becomes reliable and bargains abound.

Came up with two questions though.
1) Seeing as I'm going with an SLI configuration, I'm a bit worried about the noise the thing'll be making. Two video card fans, a processor heatsink & the power supply fan sounds noisey to me. Anyone know of any good solutions for that?

2) I've found an Irish website that actually is a bit cheaper for a few parts than I've found on US sites, so I'll definately be getting a few from there. Question is, if I buy some parts in Ireland, and some parts from the US, am I going to have to worry about any incompatabilities? ie: Power supply...?

Hey, I finally finished one of my projects yesterday. 4.2GHz of water cooled bliss

1) The fans on the cards don’t make much noise, the 7800/256 cards run quite cool and don’t need fast loud fans. Most heat sink fans list the dbs and you can look for a quiet one. Also, larger diameter fans move the same amout of air as smaller fans, with less noise. So look for a case with 120mm fans.

2) Remember to add shipping costs and any duties to offshore orders. Often it is a lot cheaper to buy in country. The only thing to worry about is the power supply. The AC plug and voltage need to match what is locally available. Also be sure to get a PSU with dual SLI leads.

Well the site I quoted has computer components of all varieties at good prices, I didn't mean to imply that it was solely PSU's. And I wasn't recommending a North American PSU in Europe! Boom not good when it comes to computers
