It's been a while, but the new system is online...all I need now is a new desk. :D (Tentative name for computer: BlaqBox)

Now you simply need to put it to good use... get Bioshock on that thing ASAP. Well sure there are other things a computer is good for, but we all know the real reason to get a decked out beastie. Knowing you, the system is probably housing %60 of the contents of the internet by now. Post specs and pics if you find some spare time, it's always nice to see what kind of rig people come up with.

Bioshock: Done. Beat it. Playing through a couple more times. It ran pretty well on my AMD system with 7600GT SLI. :D

Specs:
Antec 900 case
PC P&C Silencer 750 Quad
Intel E6600 CPU (OC'ing it later)
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme (needs to be lapped) + Scythe S-Flex fan (F version)
EVGA 680i SLI MoBo
2gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 (Pulled from the other computer)
WD 500gb SATA2 HD
EVGA Geforce 8800 GTX
Some Lite-On 20x DVDR+RW burner (SATA version)

Very nice looking. I've heard some good things about the 6600 and 6700 Dual Cores too. Anyhow, let me ask you this... were you their savior, or their executioner? You can probably guess which path I took, but you always surprise me and I'm curious to know XD.

The 6600s are awesome. If you get one from a good batch the 2.4ghz can be a stable 3.2 to 3.6 after overclocking with some decent cooling ( ... )

Well, I'm sure I'll end up with similar disappointment just from the game ending at all. I hafta agree, it would be nice if there was a way to fail objectives or fail at all for that matter... cause even playing on hard and screwing up as badly as possible, you'll still respawn right at the nearest chamber. That's worse than having to load and learn your lesson to do it right next time because you can end up blowing all your first aid and ammo with nothing to show for it (wasn't a problem for me, I went with wrench lurker and wrench jockey). The wallet kinda bugged me too, I don't know about you but my wallet could hold well over 500 bucks... why the hell am I running around with 500 ones, don't tell me that they didnt have twenties or fifties in 1960s? Endings aside, the biggest disappointment for me was undoubtedly the lack of multiplayer. It's nice to have different specializations working together. And besides, I miss whacking you over the head with the wrench while we were trying to complete objectives in SS2. Other than ( ... )

The wallet thing was annoying to me mainly because it has a $500 cap, but there are four spaces on the money counter. I found it to be a decent $40 game as well. I'll probably be taking my replays a little slower since I plan on trying out other games on the new machine and I have a Metroid game to finish. :D

Cwap is that out already... I've been wanting to get my hands on that for a while now, I forgot it was released around the 26th. There goes some more munnies to expand the ol' Wii collection.
