Good choice on a merchant. They are rated fairly highly at resellerratings.com. Of course, I always recommend www.newegg.com because I have been completely satisfied with them for all my PC needs.

And NICE system! :D I hope you enjoy that surround sound. Just wait until you play DooM 3 with that at night. :D


Which video card did you go with, btw?

Leadtek WinFast A380 GeForce FX 5950 Ultra TDH MyVIVO with 256MB DDR 8X AGP

I can't wait to get some games and play with it, what type of game is Doom 3?

I got a set of Zalman Surround Sound Headphones. Fvckin' ill set man, miles ahead of any surround sound speaker system for games.

No, I just spent $53 on them so I could place them on my desk and wallow their beauty.

Nice system. I also recommend Newegg.com in the future.

Headphones, even though they don't have a subwoofer, give overall more power from the bass to your head, and also allow you to determine the direction of sounds much better in games. And sound quality isn't an issue so long as you buy quality headphones.

um....because it's midnight and you don't want to wake up the whole neighbor.


I have this wireless headphone from Radioshack. The sound quality is OK because it's wireless.

Good case, good ram...I wouldnt spend that much money on "suped" up ram, anywho I dont know why you picked those harddrives. I would have waited a few months since someone is shelling out big bucks. I would have waited for PCI Express and new video cards, also Im not sure if the cpu you got have the new pins or not.

Exactely. Plus most of the 'background noise' is filtered out. Right now I'm using this baby:

Works like a charm.

Greatest investment I've ever made for my computer. Each side has 3 separate speakers, so it works like a 6.1 speaker system though it's designed to work with a 5.1 card. Only problem is that they don't work with a CD player or anything because it has 3 jacks.

I return my POS headphone to radioshack and got this instead. Once you go wireless, you'd never go back.

Damn, you will enjoy that card indeed. :D


DooM 3 is like a survival-horror first-person shooter. It'll be coming out in a few days (maybe 2 weeks or so).

Thats ok. Just buy a big fast mouse.

You seen the Unreal 3 engine dude? It's not supposed to be out until 2006, but GODDAMN, makes Doom3 look like Pacman.

Nice rig. You should have bought 1Gb of RAM, though.

Yes, I have seen the Unreal3 engine. Yes, it requires pixel shader 3.0. Yes, ATi is still using PS2.0 while nVidia is using PS3.0. DooM 3 will run on current hardware. And Unreal 3 is just an engine. It is not a game. Content will be developed after 2006, so expect U3 engine games in 2008-2010.

I'm waiting for WWIII, this would be huge step in realism ;)

I need to upgrade my main PC by the end of this year or early of next year.
