As for me, I pay good money for substance and not form.

I'm happy as heck just using an el cheapo $20 mouse.

And I'm happy as heck with my $670 PC.... though I gotta admit that Windows 7 takes some getting used to, considering that I've been using XP for years.....

Use a good mouse and you won't want an el cheapo mouse

In fact I'm considering bringing my Deathadder to work

2 x600 graphics video cards

SSD drives

24 gig ram .....

he says whatever money he burns up on electricity bills, his landlord can reclaim by skimping on the heating .... the thing turns his room into an oven in 30 minutes ....

24 GB of RAM? WTF?!?!?!

I remember reading about a local gamer whose computer setup takes up an entire HDB bedroom. He had nine (or 16) monitors for him to play flight simulators.....

...... and a liquid nitrogen cooling system in his CPU.

I compare owning such machines to owning a ferrari in Singapore .....

Nice to have, turn others green, shiok to use .... but for fark ?

of course, the answer would be .... just so you can ....

By the way, this friend of yours.... what kind of cooling did he use?

I can imagine that it would at least be water-cooled.... I don't see how his machine can survive the summer heat without it.

It makes more sense than a ferrari seriously

cooler master V8 ....

he says he just turn off the heating during the winter ....

he haven't got to summer yet ....

Fatum SG

I dunno ..... I'm a software guy, not an hardware guy ...... I don't get that excited by dream hardware specs ....

but why on earth would you need so many monitors for ? ..... they probably watched hacker once too often .....

Watered cooled...

My bro com used to be cooled by engine coolant which we buy from petrol kiosk...

The wierdest cooling systems I've seen is water-cooled, by running the water thru a fishtank...

My dua sen..... I think he'll be screwed in summer.

Cooler Master v8 has a heat dissipation rate of 180 W.

For comparison, a good clothes iron can emit a power of 1500W. And you can't exactly heat a room efficiently with a clothes iron.

Bottom line? He needs something more efficient than air cooling.

Can't remember.... It was a few years ago in the Digital Life section of the Straits Times, when they were doing a feature on local hardcore gamers....

i was watching something where they pushed the power button and it was ready..

contrast that to the time when in the office, i pushed the power button, went out, ate breakfast, had coffee, came back and it almost ready for me to click on my Lotus Notes
