Erebus Mk.2 Prelim Spec and Pricing

It helps a lot. Cheers for that. Will deffo give Goldring a look.

I can get u a legit windows 7 pro x64 copy for free

I considered the Goldrings DR150s, and I found a lot of comments to the effect that they weren't as good out-of-the-box compared to the Sennheisers. However, most people said that after they had bed-in for a long enough time, the sound quality improved. I just went for the safe bet really (it cost me a bit extra though, but peace of mind is great )

As to the war on XFI vs Xonar, this thread might help you decide. Alternatively, you may just get more confused . The way I see it, gamers go for XFI since EAX is shiny. My xtreme gamer fatality has never let me down, and because of the driver problems I've heard about the Xonar I personally would not switch to one.

Get a blu-ray drive aswell u big noob, fail psu is fail, nvidia whore , buying a os when you can "Mr Big" it and the sound cards pretty expensive although if your doing musical shiz with your pc then its understandable, not just watchin hd porn :S

You can only get movies on Blu-ray, and considering I'm getting a PS3 anyway, it's useless having one in my PC. I'm not changing my PSU, for the 5th time. As stated previously, I will never buy ATI over nVidia, and I don't actually see how thats a bad thing. I am quite content in buying the OS over pirating it. Like you say, music work needs a sound card, plus I'm a massive audiophile.

You've never said that before . Oric is a secret ATI fanboy after all!!

You can do everything on a blu ray that you can do with a dvd drive, just u can play blu ray films

But it's more expensive.

That's like saying you'd never fuck Summer Glau over Susan Boyle, and you don't see why that's a bad thing.

[ez64]

Thanks for that mind rape phantom.....

[Isphera]

I meant I will ALWAYS buy nVidia over ATI. So I can go back banging Summer Glau over Susan Boyle. It's been a long day.

EDIT - Edited the error sentance as well.

EDIT2 - The near-final build - just waiting on prices for i7-930 and GTX 360 and GTX 380 - will decide then which GFX to get. Might consider an X-Fi, but I'll stick with my headset for now. Cheers for your help guys.

No code has to be inserted here.

Left to decide upon:

• GFX - GTX 380?
• Build - Replace Stock Fans on Case (Scythe?)
• Sound Card - Creative X-Fi?
• How to build (Hire ATK Member/Outsider?)

Lol, nVidia fail - "It's gonna be 3GB of VRAM, and super fast!"... A few months later "Ok... it's gonna be half as fast as we thought, and only 1.5GB"

- Just for that they're out of my goodbooks for a while.

[Colonel Mitch]

Nvidia are teh "apple" of gfx cards.

Always overpriced and worse than their coutnerparts in terms of £/performance

Who knew when I did this typo error a couple weeks back that it would actually turn out to be true . Following the absolute BS nVidia has put us through for the last few months, I'm jumping off the bandwagon and joining most of you guys as ATi owners. I've also tweaked a few values and parts and this is the up-to-date version as of today (22nd Febuary). Rumour has it that the i7 930 will be out in the next week or so, so it won't be too long now until this is a reality

Yeah Oric it looks like you've made a good decision. That 5870 will easily cope with everything unless you are obsessed with anti-aliasing at massive resolutions (like me ).

In fact, it may well be fine with that. It is the 2nd best card out right now!

[Vicious Horizon]

Heh, nVidia specialise in pissing us all off.

£141 each for the hard disks or total?

Other than OP PSU and buying windows 7 looks good but way more than neccesary :P
