Welcome to the IHoP

Matt, check with Sean and see if this makes sense. I accidentally bought some shit at Microcenter, but it is ALL returnable.

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R $175

Intel 920 i7-920 LGA 1366 $199

OCZ DDR 6gB ( PC3 12800, [email protected]) Obsidian $129

ATI HD 4650 1gB DDR2, HDMI native $75

$578 and it ought to be rather fast, err I hope.

Note on the Video card, I don't game AT ALL...but did buy a video camera and will do some video editing. An HDMI out is a near must as I will link it to every TV in the house for automation shit.

emailed him. and shot him a text to check email. I'll let you know when I get home..... Or from the road on teh TP2.

Done in 9 min. Thank god.

Thank you.

As stated, it wasn't my intention to buy shit but I thought I managed a hell of a lot for not a whole lot of dough.

If it were me, I would have probably leaned on this Mboard:

Includes and Esata as well which is a bonus, but at $75 I couldn't rationalize it.

Just shocked that it was cheaper than Newegg and easier since it was in town.

Personally, I'm 0 for 2 on Gigabyte motherboards

my personal favorites are EVGA, DFI, and Asus

I've only owned Oscar Wu designed boards in the past. ie 10 years ago ABIT and 7 years ago DFI.

Looks like a pretty good deal. Could have got the gfx card at like 17 bucks cheaper, but the mobo, cpu and ram are at or under cost elsewhere online, and no pay/wait for shipping. Will be a good system for video editing for sure. I assume they have a case/monitor/hard drive already and are just upgrading the comp for more speed?

thats what i understood. forum to text back to forum chat ftmfw.

Yar. Will suit their needs quite well. Good find

If I owned a game...newer than UT 2004, perhaps I'd think about it. Loved that game, but it consumed my life and I stopped gaming because of it.

Sean was that way with the wow. I never got overly addicted to any game.

[dem beats 1,223]

i play games almost exclusively for story content.... sooo yeah.

most games with amazing story usually have low repetitive play value.

My handle on UT was Your Moms Dong. Everytime I killed someone they got to read. You've been killed by your moms dong. Lol. That REALLY pissed off some people.

[dem beats 1,223]

Thats damn amazing Sean.

You smoked a few tons of the good stuff.

[topgun 262]

I correct myself, the new forecast is 9-17" of snow.

Not sure how to take that.
