    Be very careful some of you using benchmarks as a selection tool to build a PC from parts only and a empty box to a complete living system that performs very well for you.

    I built and rebuilt enough systems to know what works, both AMD and Intel in my time as some of you also have done. Im contemplating PC specs that are so extreme (for me....) such as two CPU's and then working out what I will have to do to feed these CPU's, cool them with two radiators and so on. It takes me approximately three months to carefully plan a build to the last wire. Then a month to order parts and fly em to little rock. I never ship ground truck. Because they come out of the sonora and either freeze in winter all weekend or fry under the sun all weekend. I fly em out next day to my door always.

    This next build PC Im been in the planning for about a year now. This will be the last PC I build in this life and will absolutely take it to the mex possible. Im already there in some ways. when there are 10 vertex threes ready to go into Raid Five that averages ATTO scores from 4kb stripe all the way to 255 stripe across the entire disk read and write. There has already been changes and alternations to my plan because the Titan Z cards were selected and will make sure the motherboard and case can support them because there will be three in TRI SLI IT's an awful lot of money but I already am committed.

    Some day when it's built I will be more than happy to post pictures. It will likely be a plain case where I manage to accomodate the radiators (Plural, two 360's with push pull x6 fans each etc) for the CPU's and possibly even liquid cooling the GPU's too. If necessary. Im just afraid of what the Titan Z will cost in two slots liquid cooling times three instead of the advanced release information that show air cooling on three slots. There are a couple of custom builders of liquid cooling equiptment of sufficient precision to build a custom liquid cooling to match the new cards then.

    There is such a joy in building a system and solving problems. It's equal to building a 18 wheeler with very specific specs to meet it's battle on the big roads. I don't mind tossing a few hundred here and there for cheap obselete laptops but I will never, ever buy a PC in a store. Never ever again. I got burned really badly the very first PC i bought. I was so stupid then. Never again. I build computers and so far they do well.

    Load first into a combat map and be rolling whereas the other 60 players are still loading and have not spawned.

    Amen and thank you kindly.

    Keep in mind I took a walk in walmart today examining Playstations for the future too. Even old dogs like me can learn and possibly join the childrens table too...

    I'm reminded of a plaque a family member had mounted to his water vessel.

    The difference between men and boy's is the price of their toy's.

    I'm still a kid
