Illuminated Keyboard,
PX-LB950SA,
P6T7 WS SuperComputer,
24 GB DDR3-1066 Hex-Kit

(ps. not sure if those things there make any sense.. if not i will clarify later)

I was having doubts between a mac pro, or this puppy with windows. I hope i made the right decision, i will be using it for photo-editing, webdesign work, HD video-editing).

Whatcha think, good stuff?

what hd's in it ?

Looks sweet,probably run around 3k?

1 120gb ssd for the os, 1 300gb running at 15000, and 1 1terrabyte hd. Dunno how fast the last one is to be honest will check that later on.

4.5k euros inc tax.

I wouldn't have bought that TN panel monitor or that PSU but rest looks alright.

damn this is hell of a machine.,.,
i wanna build one too.
best of luck working on it.

i got a similar system

also got a QNAP 859PRO with 8x2tb drives

Not a good monitor?

Cool, you use it to design fris?
Ps. im totally not into whats what these days anymore, i just picked what i thought was a good mix. How did i do for a total noob assembling what i choose i wanted to have in there?

How much rammage plz?


I see now... wow... 24... Nice! :)

24gb if thats what you mean.

Don't know why you went with Windows 7 Ultimate, unless it's for bragging rights, because the only differences between Pro and Ultimate 64 bit, is the ability to use multiple languages and BitLocker (drive encryption).

I know because I run 64 bit Professional and can basically do everything an ultimate user can for $200 - $250 less, and there is plenty of freeware drive encryption software out there.

Nice systems nonetheless!

24 GB DDR3-1066 Hex-Kit Your RAM is totally behind on clock speed and will bottle neck all of your procs speed. RAM is now up 2200 you should have gotten at least 1600

hey there jack, can you take pics of that monster? 24gb in ram its damn sick

nice config

Hmm, somehow when i choose all the pieces, it said i couldnt get ram of 2200.
Is this a huge problem? Should i get something else instead?

since you asked...yes..i think this would be more your speed:2 cents:

Weird weird weird.

I totally believe you, but i just rechecked this "online assembly module" at the company im ordering this thing. And everytime i pick anything about 1066 it gives me a warning that the speed of the ram is higher then the speed the processor can handle. Even at 1333 it keeps giving me that warning.

When i check details/specs on intels website: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47932 it shows me the same thing, max 1066.

Anyone who can shed some light on this? If im fast i might be able to change things around before it gets send over! Am i doing it wrong?

Nice specs anyway :)

maybe before you went bragging about your new computer and then scrambling around because you fucked up.. you should have come here with the specs and asked for opinoins first.:winkwink:

Maybe you should start some more threads to cry about others instead of sticking your whiney fag nose in threads you dont know shit about jeff.:thumbsup

get a 30" screen , 24" is an average joe size

That's a dream machine. You made the right decision.

hou je bek and take your own advice ya 2 faced hippocrit hoerenjong:1orglaugh

Well i thought about buying 2 of these, but i might order a 2nd one or a bigger one later on.
Not sure if a 30inch really has that much more value for webdesign, video-editting?

Thanks i hope so!

now you will have no problems running frontpage and word :)

really good keyboard! seriously....

I thought it was a great system, until you said how much you paid for it. You got ripped.

Couldnt find it cheaper here in holland..

I have my 30" for about 5 years now and i love it, the more screen space the better especially with video editing.

I also used to have an extra 19" 4:3 screen next to it for my messengers and stats, but my current desktop layout doesn't fit one anymore.

use the qnap for storage of media, so i can use my tvs to connect to the array to play movies/tvshows,etc

Shit. the monster box I want most of the companies on this board can not afford.

i went from 25 incher to a new dell u3011 30 inches, and it's a HUGE difference, thats the one thing I would not cheap out on is the monitor.... also don't pay attention about people telling you how your ram is so slow, as usual people talking out of their asses, see this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...7,2325-11.html

Use :flexepeen next time, shorter then writing a whole post.

Nice. I have nearly the same machine except for Rampage III Formula MB.

A couple of things, I would have gone for at least DDR3-1333. I use DDR3-1600 and this means a lot if you intend to clock up the CPU. If you have the money I would even go higher. And 24 gigs is just overkill. 6 is enough. and 12 is more than enough. You will see almost no speed benefit from the extra ram and it is just more to go wrong.

Here is mine. Replacing my Dell T7400 (dual Xeon 3.2 processors, 16 gigs of ram COST: $11,384.00) with this new IBuypower PC.
Hoping it will arrive by the time I get back from XBiz LA next Thursday Cost: $5.060.00 :

Damn robbie thats a mean machine!

Yeah, I do so much rendering and video editing. The T7400 I'm on now is able to cope with it (especially since I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and have a NVidia Quadro 4800 vid card that uses their Mercury Engine for CUDA processing with the GPU).
But now I'm working on some DVD stuff and finding that Encore has got my CPU's red lined.

I'm hoping these new badass intel processors will kick my intel xeon's ass and get me a little more juice.

Funny...I bought my current machine (the t7400) in Oct. of 2008 and it cost over 11 grand.

Now this new machine is (hopefully) even better and it costs half the price! :)

Gotta love a good fight :1orglaugh
Hope you'll be satisfied, if not, you can upgrade it anytime.

This Beast cuts through full HD editing and encoding like nothing and lots of more room for upgrading.

you will like the 980x, my os boots up in about 4 seconds, photoshop loads in less than 1 second.

Hell yeah. That's the kind of machine a man needs to work on video. :) I'm keeping my internal hard drives down in comparison to you. I'm using 2 TB external drives for storage hooked up via an esata cable.
