Very nice build.
Are you planning to push your CPU much further?
-
what power supply are you using? I think you forgot to list it :)
-

Gah, I missed that too, heh. Also, what OS?
Just another quick note to the OP - you might want to list your specs in your profile so people can see them in every post you make if they want to.
-
or if you later have a problem or a question relating to your computer, you don't need to always list your pc information since it'll be right there. :)

Ha, yeah, I was kinda rushing so i knew i had forgot something lol, im using a Corsair HX620 Modular PSU, been great, although i havent liked the cables.. (on a sata cable a pin got pushed back when i plugged it in the sata on the dvd rom, there really like rough and not very good quality, tried a sata that came with my Gigabyte motherboard, went in so perfectly and easy.
But either than that, i like the flat cables :).
For the OS im using Windows 7 64Bit RC (7100) Love it lol, runs so smooth, havent found anything yet that doesnt work on it!
And later on I may push the CPU further, but i guess i dont really need to now lol, it idles around 30C now :)
Yeah, i'll put it my specs in my profile now - thanks :)

Congrats on the nice build !

Really? Where?
A little too much of the product of your avatar?
(I know, I know - for medicinal purposes, only.)
-
I find that if I turn my medicine upside down that I can take 9 pills in 1 hour.
-
I think you could of gotten a better keyboard ;D
-
maybe a logitech cordless wave pro? I use it and I think it's very good :)

Nice, what NIC(Network Interface Card)?
So what NIC did you incorporate into the build?
-
Why are you so obsessed wit the NIC!? Im going to guess that it was just the onboard lan
-
The OP has gone into detail on everything else.
I remember my first IESA card. Enquiring minds want to know.
-
EISA.
That was a short-lived standard. Say, remember VL-Bus? I still have a book that has a little inset that says to "wait before buying PCI or VL-Bus to see which one wins out" heh, I guess PCI won.
-
Yes, but I could control the bus speed of EISA, I don't remember much of VL.
Anyway, I still wanna know what NIC he used.
-
Probably the onboard one.....
-
What is the point of having a "NIC" If you have onboard gigabit. Even if you don't have gigabit you probably are fine because I can't think of a game that that would use that much of your bandwith. It's not like a add on card can make you any faster. you only need a ton of bandwith if you are constantly downloading things, running a server, or you are a constent torrent seeder.

I can.
-
Ok what game?
-
gigabit is great for LAN transfers, through networked machines. for example my laptop (wireless N, 300mbps) and my desktop (100/1000) have sharing setup between them... copies go much faster then when I limit it to a 100mbps connection.
-
Ok what game?
Anything on a WAN. You're limited by the server.

Actually, I don't remember asking you for your opinion, I'm sure I was asking the fellow that built the computer what he used.
-

Ya a server. It's the server that has to have the high bandwith not you. Unless like I said, you are the one running the server.
-
I still don't remember asking you.
-
Yes that is true but I asked you a question and I think everyone would be happier if Cahl would just post and tell us what he is using.
-

I answered your question.
I also seem to be the only one interested in what he is using as a NIC.
-
Far out,
4 pages of mostly crap arguments.

I wouldn't mind knowing... but I can practically guarantee it's the on-board component.
considering how much most people use the net these days, it's amazing how little attention is often payed to the network adapter.
-
Probably NIC seems to be pretty much the same, and I mean if nobody's really caring about the NIC, then any decent one one do, even if it's the onboard one.
-
<sigh> I don't think the OP is going to tell us. </sigh>
-
Crap! Sorry guys lol, i stopped checking because no one replied for a few days lol, this isn't like other forums i guess!
To answer your question, I'm using Onboard lol, I didn't think a seperate card was nessacery for internet (And i'm not entirley sure if i know what it is, im guessing its a card that like keeps LAN/WAN speeds fast and stable? Am I right?
I have no idea what kizza1645 is talking about lol, a transformer?? Haha, that'd be cool.
Yeah, so sorry it took so long to reply, and could ya'll give me a heads up on NIC and if i'm on the right track of what it does?
Thanks. (I'll make it notify of replies now, and i'll check back every day haha) :)
