It's Alive!!!!!



Yes I've created a new Monster. After having issues with my old XP box I finally got the funding together to build a new Machine ..it's a Vista Rig with a Dual Core AMD in it. As much as people have been bashing Vista so far I have no real complaints..Setting this up was a million times smoother than any time i've ever done an XP rig.
The machine first turned on this past wednesday and I've just finished migrating all my files over to the new machine. and Guess what the old rig Died today. Great timing!!!
RIP Alienware rig you were a good friend!

anway heres the monster

Ok dangit, give us the specs.

I just built a vista box as well.

msi crossfire k9a platnium mobo
AMD 64 X2 3800+ (dual core 2.0ghz)
1gig giel low cas ram
250gb WD 7200rpm 16mb cache SATA 3.0/gbps
ati x1300pro 512mb
vista home premium.

Im still having some stability problems, but I think its more in my hardware bios configs with ram timings than anything.

Heres a pic btw.

Nice burningman. I recently built a Core 2 system for a friend with that same case, and I really liked it

Specs are as follows
Gigabyte M59SLi-S5 MObo
BFG GeForce 7950 GT OC
1 Seagate 320g SATA HD
2 150 Maxtor IDE HD's (from old computer)
2 gig Crucial ram
AMD 64 X2 Dual core 4600+ (2.41ghz)
Creative Audigy Platnum (salvaged from old computer)
Vista Ultimate 32

Solid as a rock so far!

Scott Nice specs..not a fan of crossfire myself but i hear it's a solid. Don't know much about Your mobo so I can't comment on the stability (nice case too

PearBear..this case is a bloody dream to work on as I'm sure you know.

Yeah i already owned the ATI card so thats why I went with the crossfire. Im going to add a second card just like it to really pump it up. Also another gig of ram wont hurt.

Nothing now.. everything seems to have worked itself out since I got hte ram timings back on. Now for gaming, I get some jumpiness and sorta stuttering, but i believe that is due to my internet connection at home (dial up, no broadband available)
