NeoN-ARMADA (Demon Overlord is Building a Computer)

[NejinOniwa]

SOOO...

I've recently had to face the sad fact that even though LAMBDA is still a beast of a computer in her own right, she Is Not a fully fledged gaming rig. Gaming is very possible, but you can't simply boost every setting to the max and expect it not to lag on newer games; in addition, cabling can be a bitch, and I bought LAMBDA to have as a laptop, after all - nowadays, getting her loose and moving her requires annoying amounts of time.

Which leads us to the fact that it's about time I got myself replacement for DELTA (who is in a state of unusability due to her PSU being knocked out, in addition to her old battle scars). The tentative name for this beast - NeoN-ARMADA. (As for the name - Ar-Ma-Da. Screw letters, I'm joining the Red Team now.)

The planned setup is looking something like this:
CASE: Antec DF-85 (For your pleasure, /OSC/, it's STYLISH AS FUCK.)
MOBO: Gigabyte-990FXA-UD7 (AM3+ YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH)
GFX: 2GB Asus Radeon EAH6950 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5 (What's that you say? A simple bios mod upgrades it to a 6970? REALLY NOW.)
RAM: 4x4Gb of 1600MHz Corsair RAM (Extrapolating - we lieks it. Why aren't there any 8Gb sticks out anyway?)
PSU: Antec TruePower Quattro 850W (The unused portion of all dat wattage is going to fuel my ego.)

Add to that a Seagate disk, some SSD drive, and of course, the tip of the spearhead - a nice, flashy-as-fuck Bulldozer chip.

SO - DOES /OSC/ WANT? IS /OSC/ JELLY? AND HOW THE FUCK AM I GOING TO SCROUNGE UP THE CASH FOR THIS, ANYWAY?

With an SSD, go with a OCZ Vertex 3; they're the fastest on the market last I checked, and the one I plan on buying soon.

Look at me
Now Look at your computer
Now back to me
Back to your computer
Now back to me

I'm what your computer could be if it was using 6 monitors, 3 graphic cards, 2 x6 core processors, 2 SSDs on Raid0, oh and one more thing,

I heard you like to back up your awesome porn collection so we slapped 10 drives in this bitch and set them all to Raid1 so you can have a back up of your back up of your back up of your back up of your back up of your back up of your back up of your back up of your back up of your back up of your main storage drive!




WHAT NOW.

[Chocofreak13]

is it computer building season? :\

and what's the obsession with seagate drives? :\

case, compared it with amazon and newegg
board, this one was tricky, since you didn't provide enough details
whatever "gfx" stands for.
RAM:[url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233143]I found three.
power: they didn't have yours, so here are the closest ones i found.

EDIT: i totaled up the cheapest possibility here, and it comes to $953 (and that's being shipped here; if you were to have the case shipped to sweden it would jack up the price by about $150.)

theoretically, if we ordered all of it the first day you got here, it might make it here before you leave....

*Looks at the case*

So, ARMADA is going to be to 2k-tan the Desktop as the laser screwdriver is compared to the sonic screwdriver?

[Krizonar]

Full tower case? oh dang bro

and yeah, I thought it odd newegg has no 8 gig sticks. Probably because they're ridiculously expensive, but newegg does have some ridiculously expensive stuff.

Get this for your SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227581

as i sat here reading the reviews on that giant flash drive, i thought of all the things i could do with that money.

i could likely rent an apartment in boston, with groceries and travel expenses.....for a couple years.

Overpower the Pentagon?

[Chocofreak13]

buy a car (and one for my sister....and mom).

[Krizonar]

How can you buy a car, let alone three, for 9k?

Uhmmmmmmmmm......


....I could buy, like, a 4 TB HDD and ten redundant backup drives for a fraction of that....

[Nichi]

If I had that kind of money for that SSD, I'd be able to move my master plan along to it's final stage

I'd suggest going with this one instead; it's a lot cheaper

It's supposed to be funny.

Sure, it's probably the fastest hardrive in the world (it's like 4x faster than even the fastest SSD) but there's no reason to put something that fast in a computer of today.

[Alex_Reetz]

ssd are still new technology; what is the significance?

a 250gd cost 500.00 last summer; save it for your next build.

I know, my disapproval wasn't directed at you, it was a reaction of LOLWUT WHO WOULD BUY THIS?
