Hi Guys,

Building a new machine ,

Im getting the Antec Hindred Gaming Case.

The Problem, Ive orderd 8800GTX X2 for SLI and also a Creative Elite pro sound card.

Will this sound card fit? Also i guessing it might block *** cooler for one of the cards ?

If you have the same setup , Then pictures would be brill Or Just yes/no if it will work or not

Thanks

whats the rest of the specs and most importanly the MB you will be using.

£2600 on a machine is not a good idea by *** way as the value of it will drop dramaticly. you will be better off spending less and upgrading in the future.

I think I remember reading that the GTX is a little long for the case, so you have to remove an optional fan housing attached to the back of one of the drive bays.

I want to know why he's spending £2600 on a gaming machine. You could easily get 2 pretty much equal performing machines (unless playing on dual 30") if you overclock it.
 
Buying SLI GTX's makes me cringe when you could SLI 2 8800GTs for almost the same performance at half the price.

Either you have done zero research on current hardware, or literally have more money than sense... or both.

What monitors are you using?

Sorry if i come across offensive, I just find it hard to comprehend spending so much money where you dont have to.
 
Look Guys, This system is not for me .

I know about my stuff and want my customer want , then he will get it.

Now. Will you stop being so rude and just ask the question which somebody has.

Ive been on this forum 1 year before i was banned for no reason and since the last year or so the forum has become and a very displeasing place and people are not very kind.

"Either you have done zero research on current hardware, or literally have more money than sense... or both."

Somes it all up.

Thanks

I wouldn't exactly say they were being 'displeasing'. Just pointing out that half the components on the list are poinless, as for half the price of the system you posted, you would get as near as makes no difference performance in todays games. Then you have £1300 to spend on upgrades when it begins to get sluggish.
 
if you put the hard drive bay at very bottom, and the other on top, you should be able to fit it.

and i wouldnt spend more then 1200 or so. unless your rich enough to not care

Your saying Half? Ive only posted the CPU and Graphics,

Not the meantion the ram , Motherboard etc.

I lost all interest in OCUK, There was a time when good people wouldnt put you down in such a way that makes somebody feel so stupid.

I have a list from a customer , ive tried to help them , But if they want , what they want. Then i have to provide it.

:(

It doesn't matter how much you've posted. Half the stuff on his list will be. £1300 should be enough to get a PC running crisis on at least medium settings. That PC will last at least a year before you need to start running games on low. At which point you sell whichever components are holding you back, use the money made + the £1300 saving to upgrade, and repeat. Gives you a PC that will last many years, as opposed to 2.

Your first post made this crystal clear >_>
 
I think you are the one being rude, nobody knew the system was for a customer, and you started making comments about the people on this forum just because it appeared as though you have more sense then money. Nobody was being ignorant or rude enough to justify you saying the forum has gone downhill and then accusing others of being rude.

I'd be interested in seeing the system spec, if you will...
 
Why not INFORM your customer of the benefits, instead of saying "what the customer wants, the customer gets".

I'm pretty sure if I was a consumer and was spending £2000+ on a computer, only to find out I could have had the same or very very slightly less performance for £1300 (and used the £700 to improve my PC in 6 months time) I would be very very annoyed. Don't be a douche and hold information back from the customer in order to make a quick buck. Being a good and informative salesman will guarentee return business. "Giving the customer what they want" against your better judgement will not.
 
Hi,

I have told the customer that 8800GT maybe the better option.

Think of it this way.

Your going to buy your dream car ( PC is this case ) and your looking to buy a "Alfa Romeo" but then somebody says " Well, For a cheaper price you could get a Vauhall astra which is faster etc. But it just aint a Alfa Romeo. < Thats how the costumer feels ,You understanding me?

The Specs i will display later,

But i have to agree on the forum is becoming something else, My username was Jay123 ( banned for displaying a picture with warning to other members , Animals related ) I didnt get a Warning / Straight banned. Also 1/2 years back of being on this forum ( non-Member) , It was a brilliant place to find information and share information without somebody saying " Why did you buy that , when this is here " Oh wells . I spose things change :o

well it seems your off in your explanation, its more like u can have 2 different cars, they both look exactly the same, and the second 1 has 5mph faster topspeed. the 1 that is 5mph faster costs double. and it would be like 5fps
