So ummm...dat behemoth of a thing that Messiah building in the other thread. Should I dare ask? :/
YES! I dont feel lonely!!but Messiah.. arent you working for USD ? Or some other currency ?
I could build 3 of my gaming PCs, buy 3 PS4, 3 xbox one, 3 Wii U and about 5 games per system each and still have enough change to take my wife to Coco Reef in Tobago for a week.WTF
Well not everything have to break the bank.Here is an HTPC/Gaming box I built for that media room I am building, this rig outperforms my current water cooled gaming rig in my thread. CPU = Intel Core i5-2500K Quad-Core Processor 3.3 GHz 6 MB - $212.41Cooler = Cooler Master GeminII M4 CPU Cooler with 4 Direct - $34.99GPU = 2 x EVGA GeForce GTX670 FTW 2048MB GDDR5 - $754.74Mobo = Asus MAXIMUS V GENE Z77 mATX DDR3 Intel LGA 1155 - $195.99Memory = Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz PC3 - $67.99PSU = PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W - $120.43Case = Silverstone Tek GD07B Aluminum Extended ATX HTPC Case - $135.00HD OS = Intel 330 Series Solid-State Drive 120 GB SATA 6 Gb/s - $127.39HD Data = WD Green 2 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III - $98.15KeyB = Azio Mini Wireless Thumb Keyboard - $39.99Total USD = $1,787.08Total TT = $11, 258.60Realistically, Some of the things in the list are not even needed for a top of the line gaming rig, like the 2 GPUs/SSD/Case used etc. The listed machine will run any game decently and perform all my other PC/movie watching duties without a hitch.Fyi, that keyboard i bought turned out to be shyit, I plug it in and once you get 2 feet away, the shyit stops working so looking a replacement for it.No Audio or Display prices added as I wont be using the conventional PC monitor and speakers, i have pro grade Cinema Equipment for that which the PC will connect to for my Display/Audio bliss
...but I like what I'm seeing so far. A nice cross section of pricing from all tiers. Good info to have, no?
Actually in retrospect, this was a horrible idea.if my wife find this page up and read it I am in real trouble!Messiaah own might set concrete on his feet and drop him overboard.
These are my prices, shipping not included (I did include tax).I've also done my audio separate because I know it's not a typical PC audio setup.Also, My Liquid Chiller cost USD$650, but since it down and being replaced atm, did not bother to include it..........im speechless. wth.
ok.. well your prices arent outrageous as i thought then
