The 8800GTX is HUGE! I got the BFG Tech version, pre overclocked. It will be nice to run everything at full settings and not lag. I'm also using an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard. It's the same board as the striker extreme, minus the LCD poster and stuff. I peeled off the sticker on the board that says "P5N32-E SLI Plus", and Striker Extreme is actually printed on the motherboard under it, heh. I also got a razer habu gaming mouse which is beyond awesome. The laser is invisible and "eye safe". I always think it's off because there is no red glow coming from under it.

I thought my case was big enough, but I'm gonna have to upgrade, I have an antec p-180 and I love it, but the video card is so big that I have to take the hard drive cage out for it to fit, lol. I think I'll get a p-190 next. Eventually I'll upgrade to dual cards and maybe 8 gigs of RAM. You know, to be EXTREME!

Prepare to be owned. By me. For reals.

I'm getting an 8800 GTS superclocked within a month I hope the price stays at $450 CAD. Also I'm getting a new case and 550 watt power supply and then a UPS with 50 minutes of battery backup.

All it takes is five minutes and you can even clock it higher then what they are selling it for.

This card it so old (it still however continues to perform so well). Shit's like nostalgia for modern gaming.

You said you was gonna leave me a visitor message after every 6 months!

So I know you're alive :D and you was right. You did come back after 6 months! Then again will you disappear again? :o

well thats why i put the j/k, but atarian was more a behind the scenes bd, which was easier then trying to outdo henda for announcement and ban threads.

I dont remember seeing atarian on the servers much either, except when he was testing something.

And why am I not surprised jen wants to add atarian to her tech support closet.

be careful atarian first its the random errors, then the bsod cry for help, and then the drugged thermal paste and you wake up in her basement.

I stop in every once in a while on the escape server. No one knows me, and i don't like the kids with their "epic fail nade epic failfail fail" mic chatter :P Trying to get back into the swing of things, though.
