Hi all,
Just joined the forum after loitering around for a few months.
Decided to move back to windows in December 2011 (comming back from linux and mac). Got annoyed at lack of pro aps on mac.
Looked around youtube for reviews on the latest tech and got mostly 5min unboxings. Stumbled across TTLs epic Rampage IV Extreme review and subbed instantly!
Been going through the TTLs back catalog of uploads since then. Its been a long, long .... long journey
Gone from wanting a Storm Trooper -> Cosmos II -> Switch 810.
Finally ordered:
Switch 810, OCZ Agiity 240GB SSD & Seagate Barracuda 3TB (Picked up from Scan whilst in Manchester) ~£490
3930k from ebay ~£400
AX1200, P9X79 Deluxe, 16GB Kingston HyperX 2133MHz, H100, 2x24" Ilyama (Ordered from Amazon, then cancelled because a saw voucher codes for Dabs - woohooo, re-ordered from Dabs, then cancelled because I didnt see the voucher codes had expired - doh, went back to Amazon who put the prices up - doh, so finally ordered with Dabs this morning -woohooo) Should be here in the next couple of days.
Will be going out to PC world after work today to buy a crappy Nvidia 8600GS PCI-E 512MB for £30 because I used up the budget. (way, way underestimated how much I would spend - u know how it goes - walked into Scan and my eyes lit up). Will be waiting till end of month for next lot of cash injection to buy a decent GPU. Was going to be a 7950 but will wait for the 680's to force the AMD price down. Then water cooling the month after that.
Going to get my big brother to build me a custom desk for the rig. Will be getting little brother to do all the required dremelling (thinking of putting a 280 in the bottom with a long PSU). I will be managing the two of them from the comfort of my sofa whilst drinking a cup of nice cinamon latte in an attempt to channel TTL.
Laters guys.
Off to work now (after 2 weeks off - good thing the weather is going down hill)
