I bought my current system for R15k. All through suppliers and it's lasted me more than 2 years now.
I will admit tho, the "neatness" of these pre-built machines (cables routed and cable tied) is something I wouldn't mind having done for me.![]()
Well im gonna start building a monster gaming rig
Purely doing it as a technical gaming marvel.
If anyone is interrested in buying such a rig please pm me.
I'll be uploading pics and specs as the build takes shape.
Be warned that the price for this rig is quite high and features only the latest and greatest hardware available. Price as it stands at the moment is around R30 000.
So get me a buyer and watch this monster take shape!!
As for the Bfg machine its really nice but $8000 is pure madness!!!!!!
Eat - Sleep - Overclock - Repeat
My Previous pc also cost me well into the upper bracket of 20K to build.
But that was my own stupidity. I had to get the latest and greatest on launch pricing.
My AMD 4800 CPU (939) set me back R4500, 2 months later it was going for just over 2K
My 8800GTS 640 set me back 6400, a GTX was 7.xK, 2 months later more than 2K price drop on both of them. My Kingston HYPER-X Dimms (DDR1) set me back R3000 for 2 gigs :O :O
I learnt my lesson back then.........
damn dude you installing that Asus Rampage? or a Skulltrail?
:O :O
WEll if it were skulltrail then I think you wouldn't buy just one CPU hehe.
YEah dude that was madness, within 4 months of completing the pc, and redoing the pricing, if I bought it 4 months later, puny little 4 months, I would have saved 8K on the build. not kidding man, 8 FRIKKEN Thousand.
You know, last night I mentioned how cool it would be seeing that take shape via pics/live ...... this morning reality hit and I realised that to witness that dream build of yours Joker would just be torture, lol
(because I can't have it, not because you're a dork btw)

/me waits.
FYI I built a Win98 Gaming rig with my 2 very first 3d cards. Voodoo2 8MB PCI SLI cards!
Virtual machine sucks, I had to have the real macoy.
WEnt overkill on the CPU and memory though, cause its all I could find
PIII 500, 512 SD Ram, 20GB HDD, 24x CD Rom, Win98 Se.
3DFX FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
