Have you seen a new motherboard that you are dieing to have? Is there a new CPU cooler you find interesting? Maybe you have heard rumors of a new case coming out on the market soon. If you have then this is the thread for you to post it.
Post all the new gear that has you excited.
DFI Hybrid board!!!
Also, the Tt Expressar system-I wanna see if it's what it's cracked up to be....
I'd like a new i7 rig, a waterblock for my 3870x2 and a bigger rad to handle it all :)
Core i5, i7 and i9 processors.
Well...lets see, I'm looking forward to:
-the AMD HD5870 1GB because the performance of that card is pretty much all you'll ever need.
-the first Lucid Hydra-equipped motherboards (such as the MSI Big-bang), so that I can combine the performance of my HD4890 with one of those HD5870s
Theres probably more, but I'll have to edit this later. :p

The only thing I want right now is an SSD. Only thing...
SSDs are the single best upgrade I've ever had.
Exactly why I want one my friend. I have heard that form too many people; I wonder if I will ever save up to buy one.
I want an SSD too - and I want to put it in my Media Centre.... I know the gaming rig would benefit but I've been gradually replacing the parts in the Media Centre - each time replacing the noisiest bit with the quietest bit that'll do the job - Hard disk is now the noisiest bit so.... lol
Heheh, how many times have I heard that before. ;)Quote:

Not a whole lot of it is gonna affect me though. I think I'm pretty well set for the next year or two; the only thing I might buy for my main rig is another Vertex, and of course, more monitors. Then there's always more HDDs for my fileserver, but I've locked myself into 1.5TB drives, so really the only thing that'll be helpful there is prices dropping.
I'd really like an ION board with Dual Core Atom - in the early early planning stages of turning a 1999 iMac into a PC - going to post it when it's done in every mac forum I can find - see how many death threats I get :P
Make sure it's running Vista for maximum threats!Quote:

Coolermaster Cosmos S (Still trying to get it)
Plenty of cheap Seagate 7200RPM 2TB drives
Probably a 16 port RAID card to go with the above drives (Highpoint most likely)
But for the nerd in me:
A digitally temperture controlled soldering station.
A PCB etching kit
Atmel ATMega32
Heatgun 2000W (with heat control)
Dremel 400
Dremel bench press
And that's all that comes to mind currently!
Mine is also the SSD, but specifically the SSD that plugs directly into a PCIe slot, like the OCZ Z-drive. As with all new tech, it's WAY too expensive, but I want a couple of those so bad I can taste them. (And strangely, they taste GOOD.)
Edit: Oh YEAH! I want a Kindle in the worst way. I'm currently selling organs from my main desktop to fund it.
I'll be spending money on this that I don't really have to spare, and producing a PC that I don't really need - if I'm doing all of that, least I can do is make sure it's usable - think it'll be XP or 7 - I have a dozen or more spare XP licences lying around so probably that :pQuote:

Sorry to jack the thread real quick but I have to :p
What type of business you starting?

Don't you mean the 295? :P
nah, the 295 is actually two underclocked 275's. I'll look when I get home, I think it was on bit-tech
I am interested in some SSD's also a network'd web camera.
The graphics card is the ASUS MARS, it's a limited run of 1,000-which, incidentally, is how much it costs per card.
are you sure kayin, i thought they were about 1500 a peice? and a 5870 or two would massivly beat the sh!t out of them!
that be said, i would really like:
4 5870īs
ocz z-drive
XFX power supply
some waterblocks for the 5870īs:D
santa, hand over plz
One of these definitely: http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gamin...s/ROCCAT-Valo/
I'm considering ditching the Logitech G11 I have sitting on the desk for one of these if I get money any time soon :D
SSD, Fermi, new asrock mobos with ucc chip
lol... i feel like and under acheiver...
P2X4 BBE 3.2
a pair of 5770's from saphire or xfx for crossfire
750 watt psu
8 gb ddr3 ram
an ssd
omg i just built a rig. lol
To be completely honest, I've been searching Ebay lately for some cheap older hardware. I'm toying with the notion of building something along the lines of Mashie's Tranquility. Why? Because I can damnit!
I'd also love to get my hands on a PicoITX board to drop into my Qube2 box, since I cannot convince myself to drop any more $$ into the current board. And yes, there will be a worklog if I get my hands on one.
Talk to me if you have something specific in mind. We toss out old hardware everyday.Quote:

by the looks of it though, i missed the first boat, and have to wait 3-6 months for one.
might go the same route as my buddy and pick up a 260/275
If you want to get a new card you should definently look into the ATI 5xxx series. No reason to go with older technology. If you keep your eyes open you could find a 5850 with bing cashback without breaking the bank too much
I want a novint falcon so bad I can almost taste it... not that I'd wanna taste it... I wanna game with it dammit.
I want "The Bulldozer" processor when it comes out..:P
Sign me up for a few Opteron 6172's. :twisted:
12 cores on one physical socket :D
I am interesting in ipad right now. I am so many article from internet. The feed backs of people, the good features of ipad. Also, I am waiting for OS 4.0 from apple as the 7 new added features are exiting ones.
A shiny new i7-990X engineering sample would be nice. Maybe a cannister of LN2 as well, if it's not too much to ask for.
I want a mill and a turning machine I can have at home so that I don't have to do any machining at school ^^
i wish i could get a full coverage waterblock for my 6850. lol... Ive been tempted by grabbing a 6870 block and filing off a corner though.
Hmm, me too. ...you got a spare $20,000? :PQuote:
