I'll pay the difference to smash your Xbox to pieces and buy you a new gaming PC.D9-THC

Indeed. Thsi is also the wrong forurm. You want the general hardware not the pc hardware.

Do you really want a SLI mobo? This mobo is decent and its price is reasonable. (I know your Canadian, but I'm to lazy to dig through Zipzoomfly.com) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128050 On the few reviews that I have read, the difference between the 8600gt and the gts is not alot. I'm saving up for the 8800gts or look at ATI as the 8600 and lower Nvidia cards seem to be a waste of cash for serious gamers.

LOL classic! Nuclear reactor.

I have 6gb :DLouieV13

Can you explain to me exatcly why you needed that when most games cant even use more than 2gb? Are you really THAT eager to impress strangers?

[QUOTE="ForlornHope"]probbyl say about $4000us. Youd want a quad core cpu 2gb ddr2 1000 ram sli 8800gtx Ultras, an X-fi a ASUS striker mobo some huge 30in dell monitor etc. Youd have to morgage your house lol.LordEC911

Well..what about a good enough system to run 1600x1200 on max, so the best single card GPU, and a top processor.

You could build a killer rig that can max out Crysis (maybe not Ultra settings) for $2,500-3000 U.S.D.

He said amaizntg wwhich i took to mean best. and cease talking out your ass crysis specs havent been repleased yet, And also why dont you wait and find out if the game sucks first before you spend a pile of case on a great pc?

What is this then???

ok i just felt the case, and opened and felt the air inside, it isnt hot.

oh and once again, i dont get much of a performance decrease, and my pc more than makes up for it.

norton sucks
the freeware antivirus programs that are available easily do the job that norton does and without the bogdown. it is one of the worst resource hogs i have ever run across and it will take you ages to get rid of folders files etc. that are installed with norton. the unistaller is garbage as it leaves all sorts of crap files behind and plugs up the registry. i will say it again ''NORTON SUCKS''

Etc....

Hey All,

I recently built a system with the Cooler Master Stacker 830 Evo. Those of you that are familiar with the case know that it comes with a fan bracket which fits behind the side cover and can hold up to 4 fans.

Relevant System Specs:

• Asus P5N32-E SLI
• Freezer 7 Pro
• 8800GTS 320MB

I've been trying to decide how to make the most out of the Evo's design in terms of air cooling and while some improvements are obvious (i.e. removing the metal between the HDs and front fan), the side fans are still leaving me asking some questions. Right now I have both fans configured as intakes. The question (finally...sorry) is this: with only one 120mm fan at the rear as an exhaust fan and three fans doing intake duty, would my side fans be better suited as exhausts?

I remember reading somewhere in a forum that when arranging fans in a case, one should aim for negative air pressure, however minute, inside. This seems to make sense as my old Antec 900, which I'm sure many of you are familiar with, had a 120 and a 200 as exhausts. Also, the manual stated that if a fan were to be attached to the side cover, it should be configured as a "low speed exhaust".

Cooler Master, not stating the ideal arrangement, seems to hint that the fans shoud be intakes as there are filters pre-installed on the bracket. Wouldn't it be better to switch these fans to exhaust as it would draw cool air in from the front and opposite side of the case which has a large mesh section?

Thoughts on this?

boominslpr

no, my pc, with a full scale 8 player battle, maxed out graphics, on company of heros, my pc NEVER strays over 50c, my case has 7 120mm fans, and 2 80mm fans, and i have a 140mm fan cooling my cpu. all it says after it crashes is (insert name here) has encountered an error and needs to shut down. and ps, norton is good, beats mcaffe/ windows hands down.

oh and sometimes my pc randomly restarts during games.

No norton is rubbish. Ask any gamer and they will tell you. it strangles your perfromace and is very invasive. And im aomost certain its heat you sensors migth be wrong. I find it very hard to belive you have 7 fans also.
