Everyone in our house has a computer now. Me and my mum have laptops, my brother has an old desktop, and my dad has a new desktop.

3 were amazing, to be honest. Better than Opeth, actually. Fucking godlike. I'd never heard them before, but they fucking ruled. BTBAM kinda sucked and I don't like DT, so I was bored shitless.

They played an hour last night and it was great, although they didn't do any fan favorites (Where was Windowpane? When? April Ethereal? Serenity Painted Death? They did The Drapery Falls, though)).

Quick question: Do you think your two sli'd cards are ultimately better than this either of these cards?
Card 1
Card 2
I ask this because I am unsure of the specs of your cards when using SLI, and would - like everybody with financial problems - be able to afford the best hardware I can get for the cheapest price. |

Nice. But... your quad core. Please tell me you didn't get one of the new gen quad cores.
Also, ddr3 RAM = still overpriced. ddr2 is far less expensive and not much worse.
and... SLI = nono. SLI chipsets are crappy, can't overclock well and prone to overheating. crossfire would be a better bet, but tbh I'd have gone for a single gts 512mb, which would give you the same performance.
If you have liquid cooling, you can probably OC that procesor past 3.00ghz, mine is running at 3.4 on air. (q6700)
good choice of screen, they're stunning. Not what I have, but stunning.
What case did you pick?

Erm... no? Vista is FAR more stable, more so than XP now, than when first released, and you get dx10 support, lots of nice gubbins, and more.

9800s are re-labelled 8800s, they're going to be taken off the market soon anyway. No real performance gain for a steep price increase.
As mentioned before, I'd go for this

Lunch at work. God, it's great to have finally gotten a full night of sleep beforehand. For the past two or three months, I'd only been getting anywhere from 1 and 5 hours of sleep. It was horrible. Working part-time really fucks me up since I inevitably stay up late on the nights when I don't have to get up early. School stress and noisy apartment mates don't help either. But now school is over, and I'll be moving out of that goddamn apartment in about three weeks.
