My Project For The Summer!

yeah i suspose even if did wait, id end up feeling bad for not waiting till the next tech jump. il just bite the bullet and take some kalms so i can sleep at night :P hehe
 
I got mine brand new the week they came out in the UK. I didn't purchase from OcUK because I found it somewhere else cheaper with free postage. Wish I had got the 640MB version really, suffers in high-textured games sometimes.
 
yeah im slightly worried about that as i have a 24" monitor :(
Has anyone heard of the version below? Its £249
Club 3D nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 640MB DDR3 Dual DVI/TV Out (PCI-E) - Retail
 
I've heard of Club 3D, very hard to get hold of - don't know anything about the company whether the customer support is any good etc. The BFG's are on this week only for the same price I'd just get one of those they are very good BFG.
 
my lcd arrives tommorrow *excited* i wont be able to run it straight away as i dont know what cables i need, would anyone be able to tel me whether you get an S-VIDEO to RCA adapter with the 8800's ive seen a few pics of some with them in the box? it would be rather helpful

Things to do tommorrow

1)Cut the case floor and trim
2)Buy metal resin glue stuff and peice of mesh
3)Stick floor in

oh and play with the monitor

then im afraid ive almost ran out of things to do until i get my components in a couple of weeks, more accurate measurements need for the front panel etc

Looking sexy :D I thought you were meshing the whole of the bottom? Ahh well. Can't wait for some pics of the LCD :P. The paint job will look sound if someone can pull it off. Maybe you could evntheme the case like with a game you play. I've seen some pritty swanky ones over the years.
 
well i was gonna make the whole of the bottom mesh until i cut out the floor of an old case, and while i was cutting it the case was flexing loads, and it bent while being cut so im playing it safe :D with a bit of filler tho it should be able to make this look a lot neater. I was thinking of so some sort of watery theme, i dont have the skills tho, so il have to make some contacts.

**UPDATE**

Bought some filler today and made one hell of a mess of the kitchen :P but my mesh hole now looks like part of the floor, and underneath i tryed to make the bits of metal which stick the mesh to the case blend in, but they ended up more of a raised feature, never mind still looks neater than the ruff bit of metal, il try and neaten them up tomoz with the dremel

Coming along nicely! :) Although I dread the state of the kitchen...they'll be filler everywhere :p Still though, looks better with filler as doesn't look as harsh as just the mesh and plus with a 'lick of paint' it'll look even better!

BeatMaster :D
 
I would definitly not get a 320mb version.

They are a false economy. I would get a GTX personally. £300 is a lot for one I know, but they are sure as hell worth it. (get the BFG one, you get a free shirt).

24" + 320mb For the lose

24" + 768Mb GTX ***!
