That's a monster system. Great job Matt, Also what Video card do you have? It looks beastly :P

**TheMatt** · 08-04-2007, 08:31 PM

8600GTS @ 700/2100/1475 MHz Core/Mem/Shader.

Specs at left <<< Thanks

Prowsezy · 08-04-2007, 08:42 PM

Have you over clocked your CPU?

**TheMatt** · 08-04-2007, 09:12 PM

I did on my laptop to squeeze out some more FPS, but I don't see a need to OC the CPU. I got the overclocked 8600GTS to get a little more FPS than a stock 8600GTS, but all my games run fine anyway @ 1680 x 1050, 32-bit color, and 4x AA and 4x AF. My FPS never drops below 50. I got 5623 in 3DMark06.

**pharoah** · 08-04-2007, 11:18 PM

thats a sweet looking rig there matt.temps do look awesome as well.

**TheMatt** · 08-05-2007, 12:07 AM

Thanks.

ONly thing i can think of is you need 2 gb of ram....

Prowsezy · 08-05-2007, 04:31 AM

No really, I have 1 gig of RAM and my PC is running great but i would do with an extra stick, It wouldn't hurt :p

**TheMatt** · 08-05-2007, 10:47 AM

I will upgrade later. I was in a hurry to get this as quickly as possible and couldn't afford more RAM. But when I have enough money I will be getting more RAM and a Fan controller.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 08-05-2007, 11:44 AM

OH i was jaut saying because newer games can take like 97% of 2 gb

fan controller eh i got one,and love it.when ya dont need the extra cooling turn em down to make it quiet.

**TheMatt** · 08-05-2007, 07:29 PM

I will use it so I can put the computer on standby and turn down the fans. Right now all the fans except the heatsink fans are at full blast when the computer is on standby. The LED fans also light up the room. Not exactly the best for sleeping.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 08-05-2007, 08:04 PM

turn it off lol

**TheMatt** · 08-05-2007, 08:08 PM

I have always kept my computers on standby because I am impatient and don't like to wait for them to boot, but this boots in about 20 seconds so its not too bad. I am doing that for now.

okay player · 08-06-2007, 11:11 AM

gg TheMatt.

I have the same Sony mini-system as you. It takes up way too much room. lol

**TheMatt** · 08-06-2007, 12:59 PM

I know, but the sound quality is great especially with the woofer. I wish it had a digital coax in though.

Maybe I will treat myself to one of these.

Looks very nice, but bigger pics?

Also, have you considered upgrading the PSU? There is no way that can hold up n 8800GTS successfully.

Umm I tried to upload bigger pics but didn't work. I tried imageshack. Regarding the psu yes I have thought about upgrading it. That was a new psu from the stock one that came with the case. I paid like 100 bucks for it. What wattage do u recommend I buy, also the brand?

**TheMatt** · 08-11-2007, 10:05 AM

Take a look at the OCZ GameXtreme 700w. The Thermaltake Toughpower 750w is another good choice if you want modular. Silverstone also makes a good 750w, but make sure you get the Zeus (ST) and not the Decathlon (DA) or Olympia (OP). The Mushkin 650w/750w is also another good choice.
