Hehe, I know that PC is not worth that money, but hey, it still looks hefty :P

I could buy a better system with a lot less money, and even better looking, with custom designed paint and case (thank you Dremel), and a peltier-based cooling system (with customized radiatior of course). Only thing I haven't done yet is customized form factors for the case, but its on the works :D

But no, a rule for me is not spending more than $2000 on a computer... even my last update costed less than $600 heh. And it works kickassks :)

exactly you only have to spend that every 3 years after you have a good computer about 200 - 600 bucks because there are the low-grade graphics cards that top your $600 top of the line you bought 3 years before that. But I dont have a desktop and it seems im going to hold of a bit longer then I wanted because of USB 3.0 being released.


 USB 3.0?  Are you serious? I mean, I've heard so many "I'm gonna wait to get my computer becasue videocard x is coming out or new processor y is coming out."  And usually, there is no point in waiting.  But USB 3.0?  That just takes the cake.

I didn't really read anything here, but tell my friends and I "PC gaming is dead" and we probably won't hear you, because we've each clocked at least 20 hours of TF2 this week already...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

 well.. the 9800GTX is rumored to come out in the spring like USB 3.0 so thats why im holding of getting a new motherboard, plus by the spring ddr3 and PCIe2 will be more stable.

I remember hearing of the PC's demise as a gaming platform since the SNES days. It's been how many years now?

I'm waiting for the next series of DX10 cards to come out that don't require vacuum-cleaner fans or occupy 21 free slots - probably by Christmas season, but by now there should at least be rumors of new cards coming out.

What's up with that? The GeForce 8800GTX XXX is STILL the fastest card out there, and it's been how many months since any upgrade?

The day Blizzard stop to be exclusive to PC,
PC gaming is dead.

The DX10 selection sucks.  I can buy an 8600 GT for $120, which won't be enough of a step up from my 6600 GT to be worth buying, or I can buy an 8800 GTS for $290, with three times the power.  There's nothing good in between.  The selection of ATi cards looks the same.  You can get 120 "stream processors" or 320, nothing in between.  Lame.  The refresh needs to come out and shake things up a bit.  The market is ready and waiting.
