New computer!!!!

Nice, I'm curious on what you paid for the 128GB SST ?

Not sure if you know. If you start doing any video editing or want higher resolution out of your 24" monitor from your video card. Buy a low-end workstation graphic card if you can. This is the cheap one I bought>> Quadro FX 1800

If that's the case, than I built a Ferrari

 

I have a thread going but I need to update it>> The 10-12k Personal Parallel Computer

 

Actually, I don't play games that much at all and the video card is geared for workstation systems. I did get Assassin's Creed II with the processor. I loaded it and tried to play it(just could not get into it). The video graphics looked great and didn't notice any lag. I built the system with intending to do some video editing and possibly learn to write some I-app code. My old workstation (5yrs old) has been getting louder and louder. Instead of buying one from manufactured PC's makers and get charged double. I decided to built my own and save some money. It did hurt upfront in purchasing the components but I plan on keeping this one 4-5yrs.

The early tests we ran on the system all passed. After about 36hrs, system started acting up and doing all kinds of weird stuff. We had to RMA some parts otherwise I would have pics posted in my thread. Why the early test passed is beyond us, but it was cool watching the stress tests w/graphs showing 12 core processors redlined at 100% for 15minutes or 24GB of memory redlined.
