If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Ha, turned up late for this money fuck!
Unless I was a millionaire type and it was pennies I'd not spend 4k on a pc. The nvidia chipsets are a bit crap imo and I'd just get a Q6600 and oc it like FJ said, the money just isn't worth the minute speed difference.
A big fat heatsink/fan thing from zalman and the like and you'll get 3.3/3.4 out of the q6600 with a fsb of over 1400MHz, just have to get the right revision. Also if you get an EVGA 8800GTX at the price overclockers offer then bolt a huge 3rd party cooler on it then that'll aircool oc to ultra speeds, they do take up a lot of space though, but that case has it.
All this still costs less than a Q9450 system.
Nice case that.
Also - loes Vowles!

If Bubbles put his head on the tank and just spoke I'm sure the tank would move in with Vowles for free.

Blurh,
So, I "pre-ordered" the Q9450 which was due on the 8th, I had three items out of stock I figured this would be enough time to get them instock, sure enough the day after my PSU comes into stock..one down two to go and about four days for the rest...come the 8th My ram and cable ties(..wtf..) are out of stock and the CPU is "overdue". So I contact them, say, remove the bloody cable ties, change the ram from Reaper to Prem. Okay...done...give the CPU another two days then contact them and ask when the bugger is in they say "It could be the end of the month" so I say fine switch it for the Q3600.. Which they do...but they revert my ram back to the Reaper which is out of stock .... this was on friday. So I contact them Saturday and see that the Q9450 has come in. So I've changed it all right... BUT its still not dispatched because they didn't reply to 4.50pm >.> Soo.. hopefully..dispatched Monday...get tuesday...wesnday off work...FUN TIEMS!
