Looking for suggestions on building a 'dream' computer

Hey Brad -

Before we all make more assumptions about what you do with your computer (ok
I already did, heh), can you tell us if you play games or not? I apologize
if I assumed you would use it to play 3d games. I see you only said you
would use it to do video work and compiling.

So if no 3d gaming then you may want to look at the nVidia Quadro line (or I
hear good things also about ATi's FireGL cards for same purpose) of cards
instead of the 6800 line.

The system I recommended was for all-around performance. Because I do web
design, graphics design, database design, compiling of code, video
rendering, 3d rendering, audio production, burning, and 3d gaming, I assumed
you wanted the same and designed as if I were building MY dream system, heh.
Hope you didn't put in an order for nVidia's 6800 Ultra OC if you didn't
need one for 3D gaming.

Oh and all those prices I put a little "~" next to because I meant "approx"
and assumed you would shop around for better prices. I usually begin at
newegg.com because they are comparably priced to the best online stores,
carry good brands, have a wide range in stock, and are very dependable. But
odds are you won't find every piece there. The memory I recommended is very
high quality. Not THE highest but definitely rockin RAM.

I hope after you buy all the parts you keep postin to let us know what you
got and then eventually how it all works out.

Maybe time to start a new thread and let us know in this one where to look.
This thread is getting kinda long, ya know?

Hey Brad -

I sympathize with you. It sucks when you post an innocent question
asking for information and your question really does make sense and
you are not asking for anything crazy or stupid and some people feel
the need to attack you.

We feel the need because the guy's a f*ckwit. Work? Yeah right. More like
stealing Daddy's credit card and maxing it out.


I would rather be that than some **** that apparently has nothing better to
do than write an essay on imperfections of typing the english language. Hope
you had fun typing it all out cause I doubt anybody read more than the first
3 lines. Once I realised its a self appointed grammar nazi, the rest of the
post was vacuous.

A troll, eh? Well to some groups, yes, I suppose you might be able
to call me that. Usually though that title is used as an excuse when
one wants to try and save face and hide from the fact that they're
far too stupid to match wits against me. A troll perhaps...but if so
I'm one of the only one's online who uses hard facts and my targets
own sheer ****ing stupidity to do it with.

Good to see you again Onideus. Pleased to see you're still educating the
ignorant.

Oh definately.. Im a big game player. Im gonna pick up Doom 3 and Far Cry
when i get the new stuff purchased. Looking forward to Half Life 2 as well
but has had extensive delays still.

Hope you didn't put in an order for nVidia's 6800 Ultra OC if you didn't
need one for 3D gaming.

Nothing's been ordered yet. Im just preparing the list and checking for
availability.I wont be able to make any final purchases until the first of
september. This months end income will show the exact allowable budget for
the system right down to the cent. However, things are still on track to
allow $6000 ish.

Oh and all those prices I put a little "~" next to because I meant
"approx"

newegg.com because they are comparably priced to the best online stores,

Yes, Im sure there will be price flucuations with different stores, but then
again.. I dont really have to worry much about that this time. heh. As for
availability,the local distributor here seems to be able to get me whatever
I want. Sometimes theres a few days wait to get orders in....but i'm not in
a rush.

Look through the thread. Then, use some basic common sense and you should be
able to figure it out. Give it a go - if you pass I'll give you a gold star,
though, given your last post it seems common sense is beyond you. Ever hear
of using context to sort through ambiguity?

What you had to say isn't worth my time to bother trying to find where it
fits into the thread.

Why don't you just killfile me?

Now you're contradicting yourself. If it wasn't worth your time then why did
you remark in the first place? Hmmm.... that's a tough one.
