They didn’t even explain all 33.

My only gripe: Black people didn’t survive the Zombie Apocalypse. Bullshit. I would have tripped so many white people and kept my ass alive.

LOL, you need to let go of the race thing man. That’s why SA is de-evolutionizing.

Let go? Never.
So this weekend I was at my homeboy’s house playing some pre superbowl Modern Warfare Spec Ops, when he says “dude I have the God of War III demo if you wanna check it out.” So I said cool, He boots it up and for the next 10 minutes my eyes beheld the video game equivalent of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, or for the layman. Big juicy Tits! Good gravy that demo blew me the fuck away. God of War III is going to be EPIC. The controls are tight the fights are still very visceral and cinematic and Kratos is still on Bad ass Mother Fucker! The way the demo ended, my jaw was on the ground.
After the demo was over, I then immediately logged on to Amazon.com and purchased a PS3. If anyone here has any ounce of love for video games YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME!!
P.S
I am still a XBOX fan and always will be but the PS3 is gonna be my secret mistress.

It’s been out since last Tuesday.
I don’t do bootlegs anymore.
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932
Motherboard EVGA X58 Micro Edition
1200W Power supply
Processor: Intel Core i7 960 3.2GHz overclocked @ 3.8GHz
Added liquid h2o cooling for the overclocking. Right now only 3GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Dominator DHX. 1TB Western Digital with Vista Ultimate. Didn’t go all out on the video cards but added 2 SLI Dual nvidia geforce gtx285 1gb. No audio card, x58 micro doesn’t support but it has 7.1 HD audio.
Adding later on:
A solid state drive for the OS
6 or 12GB DDR3 later
.
NERD!!!
Damn! That’s pretty,Az.

BEST.FUCKING.GAME.EVER!
Absolutely brilliant, can’t wait to see what they have planned next.[/quote]
AC2 is a great game. First game I ever got all 1000gp in one play thru.
Anyone else miss the button press, and feel bad about leaving Leonardo hanging? It was the cutscene after arriving in Venice.

At work we got some of those LCD 3d glasses and I got to demo Batman and Resident Evil in 3d. It was pretty cool! Still not perfectly 3d, some of the objects appeared 2d in 3d space and renderings have room for improvement but it has potential to be pretty good. Our video card had some trouble at times.[/quote]
Interesting, Deb.
I was wondering if those cards/glasses were any good, but since the technology is new I expected some bugs.[/quote]
NERDS!![/quote]
In nerdland that’s a compliment 
One thing I was wondering was if it might be exhausting to play a really intense game with the 3d effect. We were also viewing it on a 22inch widescreen but I’d like to see it on a plasma. Ours didn’t have a good enough framerate so that was out.
I would definitely wait until it gets better and the bugs get worked out. If it becomes popular I think it’ll mean games will need a lot more 3d detail in the graphics rather than using textures cleverly that give the impression of 3d.[/quote]
I played a demo for a racing game in 3D, Forza or Gran Tourism I forget which, but 45-60 minutes was about all I could take. Some of the graphics and 3D effects were inconsistent. I didn’t find the 3D world to be any more immersible, if anything it distracting and somewhat irritating.

Nice man! Very similar setup to what I have (if you look a few pages back), except I opted for a single GTX 285 because I don’t game on the PC anymore.
That Corsair RAM is great - I have the 12gb DHX kit and it’s super responsive even when multitasking with intensive programs. All I’m waiting for now is SATA 3 SSD drives to come out so I can take full advantage of the speed.
I’ve been thinking about watercooling but I’m not sure how involved that is to setup?

The first decision is how do you want the water cooling system to be plumbed. If you want it all contained within the PC chasis then you have to contend with space and power issues. If you don’t mind running coolant hoses across your desk then look at the external pump/reservoir/radiator units.
External units make things easy by combining several components into one and can run off an independent power supply. So you only need worry about your water block and the piping.
Keeping it all inside the chasis
First is the Pump.
Do you have the physical space for it?
Do you have enough juice coming off the power supply to power the pump?
Do you want an inline pump or submersible pump?
Second is the Fan and Radiator.
You will probably need a 120mm (60-100cfm) fan to mount on the radiator and exhaust the heat out of the chasis. That means another draw on the power supply.
Radiator needs intake and return hoses so take care when running the tubing.
Condensation generally happens here, watch out for it. A couple drops of water can be ad news for motherboards, network cards, GPUs, etc…
Third is the waterblock
Waterblock is a big deal. This is the piece pulling heat from the processor. Research heat conductivity and performance before you buy. Make sure it doesn’t leak before mounting it.
Fourth is the tubing.
Then tubing tends to kink. Thick tubing doesn’t like to stay where you put it. You may need connectors, elbows, etc. to navigate your PC. Its like a little obstacle course moving around boards and fans while avoiding kinks and stressing the connections to the waterblock or pump.
5th is the details.
Temp sensors or thermostats, and flow meters.
Temp and performance monitoring software
Really it just takes some experimentation and patience. Forethought and planning ahead will make a world of difference.
Great guide, Bujo.
My concern comes in at “condensation”. I’ve built my pc and I’m happy with it, but I don’t want to have to worry about the cooling system frying my components. Is it a real issue?
I have a lot of fans, as you can see.
aznt0rk, what are your idle/under load temps? I use a program called Core Temp and my idle/load values are 42/58 - which I think are just fine but wondering how it really compares because I hear very mixed values.

Here are some stats of the pc CPU-Z and Core Temp… I will do a 3D/PC mark vantage later on…
RSGZ, have you done a 3d or pc mark vantage test?
I haven’t done either of those, yet. I did one other benchmark but can’t remember what it was.
I see that when doing full HD renders in Maya I manage to push the temp to 64 but only very briefly.
It’s interesting that your idle/load temp hardly moves - very cool!
