I'm wondering what kind of Computer Set-ups do you guys have and how are they working for you? As far as my Machine goes Im building it right now and here are the current specs below! If you have any tips or recommendations I'd love to hear them!
Oh! Also I have a few questions:
1)How big is the difference from SCSI drives and SATA Drives in speed? (I'm Not talking about Technical Numbers here more in the visual aspect or feeling lol)
2)What are your guys Reviews and thoughts on the 8800 GTX?
3)Who makes the best WaterCoolers?
4)In your Opinon best Antivirus/Spyware/Adware software combo?
5)Best Nvidia Driverset in your opinon?
6)Anything else you want to talk about!
Here is my Specs:
Case: Coolermaster Wavemaster
Cpu: Intel Extreme QX6850 1333FSB
Fan/Heatsink: Thermaltake 120mm Cpu Cooler
Motherboard: MSI P6N Diamond LGA 775 Nvidia nforce 680i Sli
Memory:OCZ GOLD 4GB DDR2 800 (PC 6400) 2 x 2
Gpu/Videocard:EVGA 8800 GT 512MB x1
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200RPM x2 (Raid 0)
Seagate Barracude 500GB 7200RPM x1 (For Downloadables)

Oh,your set-up on computer is cool,but expensive.What to do to use it? Only for entertainment or something like playing games?

Nice! How much does it add up to?
Just a warning: Good job with the 512mb cards. It turns out 1gig ones do not give ANY performance boost so if you get extra money, don't waste it on 1 gig GFX :D
Also, do you really need to have Vista as one of your OS's?

I built it off the dell website, went for a medioca one, and then boosted everything up to nearly max. =] Computers are miles better when they are faster, and work! lol
