I'm not going to be using it for anything that makes overclocking worth the time and effort. Essentially it will sit there and hold and distribute our media and burn porn. Occasionally it will have to run Diablo 2 or Minesweeper. There's a chance it'll get used more as the kids get older, which is why I didn't get a homosexual celeron, but overall it should have a very peaceful, easy life.
Videowise, I'll probably wait around until I find a returned/open box 8800 GTS somewhere.
The computer is scratch and dent. I hope it looks like ass. Beat up computers are funny.
I see closed box 8800 gt for cheap on SD. seriously, check it daily.Quote:

Well the only GT i can find is the 8600. I know the site, but i dont see an 8800 anywhere.
I'm not saying today. Every couple of days something comes up on the homepage. They have more graphics card deals than just about anything else.Quote:

Fuck it. I just ordered a 585w hunk of shit for 25 bucks. You know, back in my day, video cards didn't require their own diesel generator.
