in simple terms, yes to the amazon part, no on some computer parts...

You now have to pay VAT (but no duty as far as I know)on LCD monitors, memory and processors.... I'll have to get more details.

And a tip for those with sky boxes and using Amazon. try to keep the stuff in as few shipments as possible. if it can't be helped the one-item-in-a-box has better have some weight... your skybox will kill you with dimensional weight.

i have a friend whose credit card always works with newegg for some strange reason. we both have no clue as to why it works, but we discovered that it works since i ordered my first FX5700 card, and have been using newegg ever since. newegg is the best online retailer i have ever ordered from. i ordered an X1900XT OEM from them, it took 2 weeks to reach (damn crappy skybox). when i got it, it wasnt working properly. i wrote a letter to them and they told me to send it back. mind you, the warranty on thie OEM/Open box item was 15 days. it took 1 month for me to get it and send it back to them and they still refunded the money. so as long as u can get it to work, newegg seems to be the best for online pc purchases. hope u could work somn out with that boy arc.....

*ps: never buy an oem/openbox item*

CPU is running sweetly at 32 degrees C, thanks to the Zalman CNPS9500.

Just take a gander at them there benchmarks.....

God-DAAAAMMMNN!!!!!! These results are quite shocking, and this is everything at stock eh.

3D Mark 05 = 13278

3D Mark 06 = 8630

Benchmarks were done at 1280 x 1024.

I will add some pics of the system when I get my hands on a proper camera.

Super sweet rig man...

Congrats!

Eroo · « **Reply #73 on:** April 01, 2007, 12:34:46 AM »

Very very nice. I'm jealous

what 8800 gts card is that you have? 320 or 640 mb?

syncrod · « **Reply #74 on:** April 01, 2007, 04:44:54 AM »

looks like the 320mb since the board green
i think the 640mb and the gtx have black pcbs

looking good. i wanted to get the case too
but i got a cheap case for $241tt down here and i didn't pay for it so.

all you need now is to some aerocool xtreme turbines or silverstone fm121s

but then again u have a big ass 200mm on top and hot air rises.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #75 on:** April 01, 2007, 09:09:25 AM »

That beast of a rig will help you win friends and influence people.

Yes, its the 320 MB version. The 640 MB version would have carried me too much over-budget.
Any more cooling there would be overkill (and I'm just about out of room). With 3 intake and 2 exhaust, I think I'm all set.
