The setup was easy, no problems getting it started. Blew through the windows install. The picture on this monitor is simply amazing. Way batter than the Viewsonic CRT it replaced. I'm about to load up Battlefield and see how she does.

Wow, that's a pretty awesome computer.

Re: My new rig (Looneybomber)
It's not bad. My old comp was louder. This one uses fewer, bigger fans with an overall lower dB. The thing rips through everything I've thrown at it so far. I haven't had a chance to play much, I've been driving the wheels off my new car. I hope to get UT3 on it later tonight, after I finish the wife's new computer.

Re: My new rig (OriginalWheelman)
Nice. I'm planning to build a quad-core Phenom rig soon myself. I need a new compy desperately but can't really afford to go too high-end this time around. I figure the Phenom will be a good blend of price and longevity. If it serves me as well as my Athlon64 has I won't be disappointed.

Re: My new rig (MinisterofDOOM)
I went from an A64 Dual core AM2 to this and man what a difference. I've been rampaging in Fallout 3 for 2 days. I'm running it maxxed at 1920x1080. It looks f***ing great.MinisterofDOOM wrote:Nice.
