Thank you all for the clap (the hand gesture, not the disease )

And a very big thanks to Brandon for the Trophy Award, I am very honored.

My apologies for not addressing each one of you directly, but I fear that the mega-multi-quote would not go over too well with the establishment.

I have a kinda-update:

I am still on the fence about this hardware compiliation. By the numbers it should be a smokin' rig, and it is.... but it seems to be finicky and temperamental... it reminds of the aged Vector Twin-turbo... lol.

I am considering tearing all the hardware out and replacing the mobo, RAM and the graphics cards for SLI 280's...

P.S. Oh!.... and I almost ran into TheSubtleKnife happened at the Dentist Office yesterday. He saw me, but I was already out the door... maybe next time.

Comments?

Note that I am accountable for the "ify-ness" of this build, but after numerous installs of the OS, every iteration of CCC and Drivers things still do not feel quite right.

I'm sorry to hear its not working as well as you'd like.

I suppose, in the end, that's the most important bit to get just right. I mean, even if you have an epic case, a system that's a PITA to use just takes all the fun out of it.

I was just assembling a new computer (EVGA 780i, 4gb GSkill, BFG GTX280) and I could not get any video signal to the monitor. If it was my build I would have gone with an Intel chipset and a 4870.

The fan on the 280 was not spinning, which makes me think that the card was DOA .

tehpwn ~ It's really not bad at all, it's just that some games crash, and it is sporadic: Days can pass without a hitch, but then occasionally a game (Dead SPace) will crash within a few minutes of firing it up.

Yesterday I re-installed the OS and new 8.12 Drivers. I have high-hopes for this build, so I just need to keep plugging away at it. My plan at this point is to use this build to replace the Halcyon build as my daily-driver and gaming PC.... if things do not go well, I may simply scrap the hardware (figuratively) and switch back to nVidia.

I dunno... t'aint no big thang...

Nate ~ sorry to hear that, Bro.

Yeah... In my experience builds can go either way... I suppose that is the bane of being a hobbyist that builds their own PC's: Some are Golden right from the get-go, and some need a lot of TLC (and occasionally a good whack with a hammer) to get them purring along the way that they should.

Odd part is the frustration and the trouble shooting is what makes it intrinsically worth all that much more (at least to me.... once the rage has subsided.lol).
