@Mr. Elmo: its Mech Assault on the Xbox, but once Microsoft owned the rights to most of the Battletech games, they've all be shite.

Well, it certainly looks like you'll be top dog around here for a while, Cat.
That is a very impressive collection of parts.

I would name it "Bob".

What OS are you going to run?
ME?
It should scream.

I'll have it running XP.

Well, I figured that if I get a monster now, it should serve me for most things at full for at least 1 and a half years. After that, if it still runs mediocre, then great!

Typically I see flash graphics and hyper, aggressive names attached to machinery that can't back it up.
All show, no go.
I prefer the "sleeper" approach.
The NASCAR engine hiding in a beater Rambler.

A couple of months ago on the BitTech forum I saw a rig that perfectly illustrated this thinking.
His hardware was absolute state of the art, but the case was intentionally made to look like the biggest POS you have ever seen.
The paint job simulated rust and fungus and dents.
The window glass was crazed and hazy.
He had extra rat's nest wiring that did nothing- just looked like hell.
In short, were this thing on fire you probably wouldn't piss on it to put it out.
People would laugh until he fired it up and kicked their ass with it.

It was hilarious.

Oh, and how about the Armada?

I really don't wanna go spending money on case mods when I just thrown out a load of money at getting a state of the art games machine.

I really am not bothered what the hell it looks like, as long as it works.

Don't get me wrong, I won't have a black case sitting there with a beige CD drive in it, but I won't go putting plexi glass windows in the side.

Oh yeah, I've gone for a chieftec case and a 420W PSU.

hmmmm 2 gigs of ram? dont you think thats a waste of money?

i will guarantee you wont use all of it
12-30-2003, 11:19 AM
Mad Cat

RAM will speed up most applications, and since it costs the same as a DVD rw, and I'm not getting a DVD rw, I think it will future proof me a bit more.

Damn, but that is one high-spec machine.

Bet you can't run Doom 3 :lol: ;)
12-30-2003, 01:34 PM
Mad Cat

I'll probably screw it up somehow, knowing me. I've been playing around with the insides of my other 2 PCs lately to get a bit more hands on knoweledge.

Oh yeah, this thing should be up in around 10 days.

i'm gonna wait till my CIA agent team sneaks into japan's world computer office (80 gigaflop CPU)and ripps the system off.. then i'll play some more 100 instances of UT2k3 at once, but too fast to play.
:P :P

It came with a like 200 page long manual in German, and a CD that had Photoshop 5 on it. WinXP doesn't recognize it, and I couldn't find a website for the company.
