Well... I have been pretty busy latley. Haven't talked to you guys in a while.
I know it's lame but I am totally stoked about this floor cleaner I bought.
Anyways.... it's this thing here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007MS5B2/103-0460101-3399857?v=glance&n=284507 It's amazing. I cleaned almost the entire house over the weekend with it and is much better than mopping. Our whole house is tile so it rawks. OK I'll shut up about it I swear.
Well I just finished building my friends a kick ass computer. It pretty much rawks. I have been testing it most of today installed a bunch of super high end 3d games and it flippin flies. Here's the specs:
Mobo Microstar K8N SLI-F Socket 939
Cpu AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego Socket 939
Ram1 CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB)
Ram2 ^
Case / psu Antec LifeStyle SONATA II
Hard Drive 1 Western Digital Raptor 740GD 74 GB SATA
Hard Drive 2 Western Digital 2500KS 250 GB SATA II 16 MB Cache
Video XFX Geforce GeForce 7900 GT EXTREME PCI Express
DVD Burner Liteon 160P6S 16X DVD RW Black
Whole thing runs really nice and they got a smokin deal. Entire machine was only like... 1200 or something. You'd pay double that through a store or online store.
It's been fun to build and it's nice and quick.
So building all my friend's computers motivated me to upgrade my own. It's just a smidge better than what I had before.. ok.. Better is an understatment. lol.
Take a peek:

Man.... I fucking flys. That video card is the fastest most fucking uber video card they make. Yum. It still needs work but I'd love to compare 3d mark scores to help me tweak it with you guys.
Well life is goin pretty good. Birthing classes were really fun. (we're due aug 4th) I wanna practice our breathing at home but I think it's kinda weird for Cassie. I hope we get to. It's really relaxing learning how to breathe right and it'll be good practice.
ok well anyways... that's enough of an update for you jokers.
Let me know what you guys are getting for 3d mark scores!

That's a monster fucking card.
-
Hell yea it is....that machine's going to kick ass!!!!
-
dude... it rules so fucking much. my god man.
heh.
The only thing that sucks is they won't allow us the users to do home brew quad SLI for a while. For some reason they are keeping it only for the larger system integrators. But that's ok... I don't wanna drop another 600 bucks for a while anyway. I pick up another one once they come down to like $300.
But my timing was pretty shitty seeing as how the direct x 10 cards will be launching soon... but mleh.. it's only money. ;) haha

Thats one hella floor cleaner likwid :p
-
My Radeon X1900 XT is better XD
-
I think Jeyk said it best
That's a monster fucking card.
-
Allow me to reiterate, my 1900XT is better than your friend's card =\
-
sorry kayda but i have to disagree with you on the card :) and im probably gonna be getting a 7950 fairly soon myself and yeah its the best card on the market hehe look at some benchtests on the net and not only that but soon you can have quad sli :). But the x1900 is a great card beats my 7800 gtx for right now.
-
yeah... dude.. seriously. I can't wait till I can do quad SLI. omg
But even stand alone.... it blows every card away in benchmarks.
