Dom, I'm gonna be honest with ya. I was an AMD fan for many years until AMD screwed up on their first offering of the quad core processor. Now AMD is so far behing Intel in terms of processor speeds, it's unbelievable. I agree with you on the Radeon video cards even tho I'm currently running Nvidia.

Check out Dell's XPS 8500 desktops. That is what I'm gonna use for the UT3 server with this config.

Total cost $975.00 plus tax for a total of $1,075.00 with free shipping.

I sent the monitor back for for a credit of $394.00, leaving the cost of the server pc at roughly $650.00 or so.

The above Intel quad core setup will beat the britches off of the Cyberpower AMD 8 core processor setup from wallyworld previously mentioned and runs just a shade slower than my 990X in my gaming pc.

Take a look at the side-by-side comparison at http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/373/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8150_vs_Intel_Core_i7_i7-3770.html

well I'm get'n a cyberpower unit from wally will post info later...get'n a 20% discount

Keep us posted and give us pictures.

ok here's the list.

Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid-Tower Gaming Case
AMD FX-6100 MB bundle
8 Gigs (2x4GB) DDR3 Mem
1TB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card
24x DL superMulti DVD
WIN7 64
comes with a gaming KB and mouse

wally wanted $100 for water cooling, I just may add 1 or 2 more fans from other source since they had only 1 fan add-on option.
this is the Cyberpowerpc "build your own" on Wally's site.
As it stands it's $685.00 after my 10% plus extra 10% for working on Thanksgiving makes 20% off = $548

and the wife thought I was crazy! for spendsing that much but then I pointed out that this one that I'm on was about the same amount 10 yrs ago so just looked at me...LOL she can't complain I'm buying her a 17.3 inch laptop! along with a 32" flat screen for in the bedroom!

getting a N600 linksys router too see if that helps with the wireless connection.

I'll check and see what PS is in the case and if it's like normal ie just big enough to run system or a cheap off brand I'll get a good PS to put in it, and maybe at tax time weasel a 2nd vid card to do crossfire.

The new Pantec Burst I just got off E-bay don't like to charge off the usb on the comp for some reason but charges on the wall no probs

well I'm not going without a decent phone again I hated that old slide the wife came up with when the other got messed up.

Hey Demon what do you think of this cooler?

Antec Kuhler H20 620 Liquid Cooling System for Intel and AMD

it has the same price point on Fry's web site as the Corsair H60

then there's this 1 for $99

Antec Liquid CPU Kuhler 920 Intel/AMD Universal

FRAKEN corporate idiots!!! the extra 10% is in store/my store only not online or anything else and i heard it's goes against our bonus!

Since the FX-6100 is a 6 core processor, either one would work well. The 620 is similar to what I have now and it does a very good job in keeping my processor cool. However, remember that I also have an active venting system which is designed for air flow as welll. The 920 is just a bigger version and would do well in a case that does not have a lot of airflow.

So, I would say that you need to look at the case you want and make that decision based on the case, not the $30.00 or so difference in price.

well did some research before choosing the HAF912 case, it seemed to drop the temp a decent amount I think in just adding 2 more fans to it in the review I read. It has a 120mm fan at top back and space for 2 more in top besides else where so I'll see what happens after I get it and get setup then check out things ......wife just looked at me when I said I woild need more cooling for it

Good case. Newegg has them on sale for $65.00 including shipping thru ebay.

well you have separate sources for most of the stuff this should come all built with a one stop warranty except for the extra cooling options.

Lol, I was assuming that you were gonna build your own now............

well after the smoke clears on that cyberpower build thing on wally's site its like $585 before adding more cooling and maybe a better PS depends on what they stick in it.

Oh and DANG strait I'm gonna check and make sure all the jumpers and everything is hooked up right before hook'n power to it!....um unless the buttheads put a seal on lt that is

Well?????

LOL it was city of industry yesterday so maybe fedex will get it to me today
