    rate my new comp :)

    Ok so my old MSI computer (small form factor gaming rig) decided to pack up - on further investigation it turns out that a £15 bios chip was probably the fault...so I took this as a chance to spend nearly a grand on a new system....haha

    The important specs are:

    HP xw8600
    4gb Ram
    2.83ghz quad xeon processor (11.32ghz) 1333mhz fsb 12mb L2 cache
    raid/scsi controllers


    Nvidia 8600gts I stuck in myself from the old one...

    Sounds pretty normal right?

    Here's what it can max out at:
    128gb RAM
    22,6ghz processor - 2x quad core Xeons running 3.4ghz each

    So its bought with only one quad xeon and 4gb of ram but if I upgrade to the most it basically runs beyond anything you can buy domestically...the HPxw8600s were designed for Avid and Adobe products - they piss through HD renders - they sell brand new with Nvidia Quadro gfx cards (which cost about 1,500 on their own) for around 4,500 quid - it's a server tower that can hold tons of drives and upgrade with a riser to 128gb of ram...fucking AWESOME POWER!

    And these are about two years old I think...got it for 850 off ebay

    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.
