SoI think it's safe to say theWii wonthis gen :)I think MScan learn from their mistakes... as well asSony in particular can learn alot from their mistakes. What do you hope that MS and Sony different next gen?

Nothing.

The Wii is the cheaper fad. That's all.

ROFL!

Anyway, this is the video that shows off the "Black Pearl" the best current computer video card (as of 07/07/07). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTTxH9VxSaI

Of course it's unnecessary, but, I've seen videos in which this video card will give off 500+ frames per second in computer games, LOL! Console, anyone?

Hermits get crunk.

Yeah, there's a PS3 in there, too.

Looks nice, but it still needs a few things to be considered an "ultimate" setup: -A Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar with Simped F-16 pedals(and perhaps replacement gimbals or force transducers as well)or CH Products Fighterstick/Pro Throttle/Pro Pedals combo. (Might get in the way of that nice G25 wheel and its pedals, though.) -A TrackIR 4 head-tracking system. (He could at least use it in GTR2.) Overall, though, I'm somewhat envious(which is not uncommon since my PC is an old 2002 box with minor upgrades that can barely run any modern game on MINIMUM settings)...at least until I get a new PC in late July/mid August. Put it in my living room with the 43" HDTV and a 5.1 speaker system(well, 5.0 since the subwoofer's dead), and I'll have a setup that rivals this guy's(well, except for the G25).NamelessPlayer

Yea, a LOT of that stuff is extremely unnecessary for gaming. Hell my computer would smoke his (8800 gts, e6600, 2gb G.Skill 6400 with D9 chips, and 680i mobo) and I know for a fact that I paid a lot less for my setup than he did for his.

Although that TV does make me a bit jealous :P

GTS, huh? Are you running a lower resolution? 1024? How did you get your hands on some D9 chips?

[QUOTE="cobrax75"][QUOTE="NobuoMusicMaker"]

You know uh... those subwoofers can actually destroy electronics if placed too close and played too loud.

I have the money to do that but I wouldn't. The room is too small, the HDTV is played too close to be comfortably seen, it's a pretty horrible way to set up the PC.

And that guy is using FANS. If you have the money, everything would be watercooled. What a nub. Probably bought everything preset or retail.

Gzus666

why would you go water cooling?

they have phase cooling now.....

its so strong it can cool a normal CPU to sub-freezing temperatures (though it would damage it)

using phase cooling...they were able to clock a P4 @ 7.5

agreed, water cooling is kinda silly, they have A/C systems build for PC's now, why waste time with something as dangerous for electronics as coolant.

Do you know how ridiculously expensive it is to buy one of those A/C systems? It's easier to make your own watercooling system by buying the tubing, etc yourself.

7800 = PS3/360, and is still capable of running Crysis at high settings on a good resolution, according to the Crysis website. I could post videos of the $2000 8800 Ultra OC Watercooled "Black Pearl" SLI setup.

(That's $2000 for the two 8800s!)

I think you would.

Additonal Comment: The part where he's playing CS:Source on the 46" screen ROCKS!

Confirmed, we will see a $250 price cut. Sony really needs to get these PS3s out there with more software on the way. Take the losses in hardware and get back in the green with the software and peripherals!
