So my new computer is almost done, what do you think?

Postby McGuyver » Wed Nov 08, 2006 7:01 pm

So I ordered the last piece of my new computer today. This will have to last me for the next two years with the exception of another video card for or after Christmas. I have been buying parts for over 6 months now when they go on sale. I could have finished this weeks ago but when I found out about the new Geforce cards I had to wait. So in the next two weeks I will slap this thing together and let you all know what I think.

Finally. Pick it up ASAP otherwise you'll never get the card.

I thought it was redwarrior again :roll:. He goes through computer builds fast enough where I wonder if he has enough time to actually use the computer.

Yeah but the Audigy2s came out with the breakout ports for front sound/USB/FireWire. X-Fi, except for the $400, does not. Plus the Audigy2ZS is half the price. No brainer for me.
