Mah Übar Computar!

Yay! Finally after about a month of procuring all of the components I managed to manhandle my new computer into existence.

Har be de specificationesessesseses:

Processor: Intel Quad Core 3.00 GHz

RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR2 (only 2.25 of which are actually usable but that’s an operating system thing)

Hard Drives: 12 one-terabyte  hdds in a RAID 6 array controlled by a 3ware 12-port RAID SATA controller

Video Cards: 2 XFX 8800 Ultra XXX (in SLI, of course)

Sound Card: Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer Pro

Motherboard: eVGA 775 SLI

Case: Lian-Li PC-2000BPlusII

Power supply: PCPower 1kW custom psu (15 sata drive connectors instead of ide connectors)

DVD drives: 2 Samsung S203B SATA drives

I’m sure there’s something that I forgot to document here, but that’s pretty much it.  Unfortunately, I lose a bit of the ram as a result of Windows XP’s 32-bit goodness but, I’ve got it if I ever decide to go 64-bit. But, I’m not exactly one to be an early adopter so I’ll probably end up waiting until 64-bit OS’s go mainstream. Of course, this machine was not without its hiccups, and I’m still trying to determine if I’ve snuffed them all out yet; but that’s another story.
