CrossFire Config

SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100269TXSR
SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100269TXSR

Pros: The most vivid image I've seen on my dual 30" screens. This card is incredible.

Cons: Make sure your system has the juice - in crossFire = 2x 6 pin and 2x 8 pin. They also dump a slight amount of heated air back into the case (not too significant if you have decent air exchange happening).

Overall Review: It's a good looking unit too.

CORSAIR Dominator GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G2000C8GTF G
CORSAIR Dominator GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G2000C8GTF G

Pros: SCHWEET!

Cons: They should include the newer, longer cooling fins.

Overall Review: The installed profile is so high that the cooling fan actually interferes with the airflow of my Thermalright Ultra 120. SO, I had to ditch the fan, add the longer fins and, Viola!

Cooler Master ATCS 840 RC-840-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master ATCS 840 RC-840-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great case overall. However...

Cons: It is fitted loosely together with the final assembly being kinda shoddy. The craftsmanship is poor; unmatching parts riveted together without proper alignment, mounting holes not being exactly placed, I/O shield port poorly cut, flimsy-floppy production of most internal elements that make up the mounting cages/racks. The QC on this unit's production is very low. Perhaps it was a bad day at the plant....

Overall Review: This thing qualifies as an appliance.....it's that big.

ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Realizing, of course, that relativity plays a huge role in all matters.... ASUS has met my excrutiating tests for quality, time, and time again. This board keeps the jelly in my donut...

Cons: ...no free shirt? C'mon ASUS...pony up.

Overall Review: I think Newegg should offer free Newegg shirts with all orders over $2400. Newegg, what say you?

WTG* Intel!

Intel Core i7-950 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 3.06 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601950

Pros: Wowzy, wow wow! This thing is fast....

Cons: My ignorant complacency and impartial indifference. I was settling for what I had....low-tech of yor... Now I know what I was missing.

Overall Review: * Way To Go

Excellence Is Expected

ENERMAX REVOLUTION85+ ERV950EWT 950W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Compatible w/Core i7 Modular Active PFC Power Supply
ENERMAX REVOLUTION85+ ERV950EWT 950W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Compatible w/Core i7 Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Good looking unit. Meets its specs. Nice selection of cables.

Cons: For this price I expect everythign to be perfect. The unit I recieved had one of its screw monuting holes completely drilled out - no threads - just a smooth hole like the other air flow holes. SO, my unit is being secured with only three screws.... ...was it engineered that way???

Overall Review: ~~NOW~~ it has a $60 mail in rebate...
