Hi all!

I am waiting to see what sort of operating temps I get as is. We just brought it home, I think it's an intel board anyway so, no.

 

[Jori]

lol I know, I just had to post it.

 

[adas]

yeah, it wont OC, but i sure want that amp in there. i need a amp that is 2ohms stable lol
how much it set u back?

 

[jkzowski]

I got this one for $3750. I probably spent too much but I don't have to set it on my home stereo in the entertainment center.

 

[Jori]

:turd: .. That was alot. I so wouldnt pay that much for something like that. Just get a nice PC, best Soundcard you can get and some wicked speakers...

P4 3.4 on an intel board with 800 fsb
2 x 160 Gb WD serial ata
2 gb ram
terratec sound card and an nvidia 256 mb vga with dvi out.
haupage tuner
dlink Wireless

They're pretty standard specs, the amp was what cost me. Unamplified version was much, much less.
