The Chimps Challenge may be over but we need MORE firepower. EVGA are still a threat and we've got to boost output to fight them off. If they overtake us we've got 6 years until we get 5th place back. I'm going to see if I can get some of the 300+ forum members of x404 to join us, time for some serious recruitment work.
That's the spirit. If everyone can convince just one person to fold for the team then we're going to boost production by shedloads.
There are some tasty 9600gsos 384mb ddr3 on Ginger6.com for a sweet £37 if anyone is interested. http://www.ginger6.com/components-video-cards-asus-384mb-9600gso-pcie-p-31099.html Im tempted with 4 and a Msi K9A2 mobo. Im on a tight budget and i was thinking i could get away with the £105 850w corsair psu any thoughts?
850w is enough to power 4 of those 9600gso's easyyyyy, I can run 4 x 9800GT's on an 800w psu no probs
Most of my mates arent into PC's so much they are all xbox 360 nuts and the people I know with PCs generally got laptops or low power non-gaming PCs so not many people I can recruit myself. On the bright side my i7 kit turned up today wooooooop but im proper skint now lol
You can run that on a 600w job (believe me I have). The problem will be the dual height coolers. The bottom one wouldn't fit in an Antec 300, you need plenty of space at the bottom of a case. Now you're tempting me to buy more stuff.
Well Saspro if you still have those 384MB 8800GS's spare, there are two slots in my new K9A2 platinum that need something to do (Finally got it replaced - probably in record time actually - after NI Electricity wrecked it with a power surge!). Other than that I am trying to stop spending money so I can afford to build the farm to the spec I want when I do eventually start.
They're currently folding but as soon as the replacement, replacement 8800GT's get here from France they're on their way to you.
