Do want, I bet your PC weighs a fucking ton. What was the price tag on that? rąʂKƴɖooƿɭɘş 21:43, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have anything to compare it to as this is my first desktop (and second computer). And I don't know how much it was, but based on the specs list my brother-in-law made up (which is what I put here) it looks like it was around $1200. Also, seeing it glow when all the lights are off is rather arousing. -- Jai' s Computer -  21:50, December 26 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and why the fuck does Portal 2 take 11 gigs of space? -- Jai' s Computer -  21:51, December 26 2011 (UTC)

there are so many things wrong with this build if you ask me. :< to begin with, no i7. no double hard drive and especially no solid state to boot off of (because windows is fucking slowww). no double optical drive (not the worst thing ever, but there's no reason not to throw in a read-only for direct copies). and you didn't match your CPU to your motherboard (not horrible, either, but it reduces compatibility issues with other parts by at least an order of magnitude).

all that said, looks pretty nice. built yourself? Danny 18:00, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, with help from my brother-in-law, who is the one who picked out the parts (and if you didn't already know, there was a budget here, so probably why there's no i7). Also, I'm planning to get a SSD at some point, hopefully sooner than later. Double hard drive isn't really important because 1TB is more than plenty for me (it took me 3 years to fill up my 80GB drive on my laptop) and if I want to back stuff up I'll use my 1TB external hard drive. Also, I really don't do much with CD's/DVD's so two optical drives doesn't really have any appeal to me. Still, I don't claim to know all that much about computers, and all I know is that mine runs ridiculously fast and hasn't had any troubles whatsoever running all of my games on max settings. Oh, and my laptop was horribly inefficient with its cooling and the fan ran at max pretty all the time, whereas my new computer has 7 fans and everything runs at right around 30C. Now, off to play some CoD. -- Jai' s Computer -  19:45, January 1 2012 (UTC)
 * just looked up the price difference and it's a jaw-dropping $500. definitely understand the no i7 now. double hard drive is so you can boot off one and store files on the other (as well as back up your os). i like disc-to-disc copying for like os discs. can literally cut time in half. (fill write buffer from read on the fly, write from buffer.) tbh, my desktop has probably half the overall power yours does (it's 4 years old at this point) but it can still run pretty much anything on max settings without flinching. should've dropped some money on liquid cooling and cut out a fan or two. bet you're happier than shit to be off a craptop and on a real computer now, though. ;o Danny 20:02, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and that's what the SSD will be for when I eventually get it, no? I thought you were saying two hard drives plus a solid state. Especially since my laptop literally was a craptop. I had so many problems with that PoS.... The optical drive does nothing but read CD's now. Can't write CD's, and the computer starts freezing up when you put in a DVD. As mentioned, the cooling was always a problem. About 2 years after getting it we had to replace the coolant in it because whenever I ran anything that took a decent amount of power (namely GW) the entire computer would freeze after about 15 minutes and I'd have to do a hard shutdown. Anyway, once I move all my files over I'm gonna wipe it and just use it for school and stuff. -- Jai' s Computer -  05:09, January 2 2012 (UTC)
