I am about to have a monster AMD computer built for me by a friend. I am sparing no expense. Hehe

I want to do the research myself on the parts. What are some good sites for reviews and recommendations on parts?

I know of Mikeshardware. What else do you guys recommend?

he said sparing no expense Thumbking, that setup is mediocre

www.pricewatch.com has better deals listed usually

Nasty · 12-12-2005, 07:12 PM

Good place for the components, been using them for years

http://www.adamant.com/

pr0 · 12-12-2005, 07:22 PM

Make sure you go liquid cooled.

Pricewatch is nothing but bullshit spam sites....when you click the link you can never find the deal advertised, & almost all the sites use a dropdown box system for addons to trick n00bs into spending huge money on crap.

Newegg is straightfoward, but never buy used components from them, i've been beat on 2 power supplies from them.

HorseShit · 12-12-2005, 08:00 PM

if you aren't spending 5k+ it wont be a monster

damn dude...how do you really feel?

I have been using pricewatch for like 6 years and have NEVER had trouble finding the advertised price and I have never gotten tricked...I usually save 10-20% off the newegg price any time I buy something

Project-Shadow · 12-12-2005, 08:36 PM

Graphics card wise, get two of the newest 512mb 7800's. Will set you back a good $2000 for both of them, but it'll be worth it ^^

webcrawler · 12-12-2005, 08:57 PM

For what purpose are you building that monster machine?

Marshal · 12-12-2005, 09:02 PM

how much is this "monster" worth?

wedouglas · 12-12-2005, 09:04 PM

www.tomshardware.com
www.arstechnica.com

ars technica has three systems designed for different performance ranges.

Budget Box, Hot Rob, and God Box

Check out the God Box if you wanna spend like 10K

Ahh man you're so missing out. No fan noise, perfect cooling.....its sweet

jimb · 12-13-2005, 09:03 PM

BTW, if you really want a MEGA computer call up Sun Microsystems (www.sun.com) and have them build you one of their server systems for you. You will be looking at something like 100+ processors each running at over 4 ghz and another 100+ terabytes of data. These are the systems that the IRS, Library of Congress, Microsoft, Etc. use to power their networks.

An example of one: CLICK HERE FOR AN EBAY AUCTION

These systems start at around $100k and take off from there to the sky

to spend big big bucks on something with no warranty is crazy. Have boxx build you a BOX http://www.boxxtech.com/index.asp

reynold · 12-13-2005, 11:25 PM

why AMD when you can buy a new Pentium D?

4Pics · 12-13-2005, 11:35 PM

amd is better then the pentium d, you can't even play Battlefield 2 with a D, you have to turn off one cpu or it crashes. (last i tried, i've since switched to a amd chip)

fetishblog · 12-13-2005, 11:39 PM

Dual AMD 64 X2 4800+s
4GB DDR
4x250GB SATA
2x Nvidia SLI cards
