this is not a mod, purely a computer that i got the pleasure of building for a lady who needed a new office computer.

she sits with a celeron 2.66 ghz with 512 mb of memmory, and the machine is worn down and goes as slow as a donkeys arse!
so, she said to me, build me a computer!
my pleasure:) how fast do you want it and whats the prize limmit?

"the fastest there is, and prize is not a problem!"

(imagin getting the opputunity to buy whatever you want!)

but i restricted myself... she dosnt needed an overkill gaming rig with 3 9800 GTX´es sooooo...

i build here this rig and parts are ordered and ill post pictures of it as it comes:D just to show a semi hardcore computer

asus p5e3 deluxe ailifestyle series motherboard
intel core 2 quad Q9450 processor
OCZ Reaper pc3 10666 ddr 3 ram
ASUS EN9800GTX gfx card
WD raptor 36 gb
corsair HX520 W psu

Logitech MX Revolution mouse
SteelSeries QcK mini mousepad
Samsung SyncMaster 245B 24" monitor

and all this in a antec p182 :D

ill post pictures and stuff when i get the goods!

in the start i was thinking of making the crazyist overkill machine but hey... she´s never gonna use all the pwr i put into this rig:P and i get to play with it a bit:D

looks really good, all high-end hardware, but was just wondering why a 36GB Raptor, I have two 74GB Raptors in raid 0 & 45GB is used already with just a few games & programs.

well.. the person who is gonna use it sits with a 40 gb right now and have only used 18 gb... and she had that computer for 5 years:D... so they arent gonna be the filled up with movies and games... most games today also takes about 5-10 gb of spaces xD

the cost was round about 3000 dollars:) i didnt went totally overkill since she wouldnt be able to tell the different if i threw in 3K´s extra hardware
i am getting the case monday i think and the rest should be here at the 30´t :D
and dont know what ill get for it:) ill tell ya when i get it:D (but she might not need the 19" widescreen monitor any longer since i got here a 24" lol)
