New rigs bought by TE members in new AMD/Intel Season July 24th onwards..

If prices drop it won’t be 170k afterall :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

lol i still cant believe you blew up 24k on RAM :face_with_tongue:

other components are alrite though but 24k for RAM is ouch

Build in progress -

I’ve mentioned price in indian rupees doesn’t mean I’ll get the component here, you guys can do the math..
CPU - E6600 (awaiting a couple of deals abroad else will get from here) - 18K max
MOBO - Asus 965 Wi-fi edition/Gigabyte Q965/Asus P5WD DH (975X) one of these three - 13K max
Memory - 512x2 (bought) OCZ Gold DDR 2 800 + 512x2 (exact same stuff about to source) total of 2 gigs. 16K total for 2 gigs
Soundcard - X-fi platinum (on the way)
Card - have a choice Sapphire X1800XT 512 (bought) - 15K, or 7900GTX bought in June this year for 30K (Asus)
Cabinet - CM Stacker 810 (spoken with CM guy China, don’t wanna get here as too costly) - 6.5K
Monitor - Bought (940BW) 16K
PSU - Trying for TT nuclear power 700W modular (Not made much progress except paid 2.5K advance direct to a friend of mine in Singi) Should come within 6K

rave I agree now that amount for the memory seems crazy…Rio be warned, vandy’s coming to goa soon!!!
@ OT I paid 16.2K for each of my 3200XL’s (corsair), those were TCCD’s, now I have 4 of them = 32.4K freakin crazy, I scared my folks too, when they came ta know..

You can see it in my Sig.

Whatevers missing, is kept same as the current D 820 rig that means :face_with_tongue: .

I know, it was an impulsive decision :wink: DDR2-800 memory at the time was $350-400 so $510 for DDR2-1000 didn’t seem out of line… the thing is, quality DDR2-800 memory is just under $300 today, but DDR2-1000 is still expensive at $450-500. Either way, I’m hoping this Ballistix carries me a long way since I spent so much on it :wink:

^^You can get the Gskill’s(DDR2-800 GBHZ) for $230, and they go to 1000 Mhz pretty easily (yea i know, im rubbing it in :face_with_tongue: )

Actually no, I don’t regret buying the Ballistix - I know quality DDR2-800 kits are doing more than 1000mhz, and I’m waiting to see what this kit does when I pair it with Conroe :wink:

^^Other than that GSkill kit, most others are still arnd 300 or so… Considering that the kit you have is guaranteed 1GHz, I’d not say its a bad deal… especially if you intend to keep it for a while. Now get a good mobo for it :face_with_tongue: .

I still don’t get why GF posted the prices in $ :huh:

Coz im getting most things from USA :face_with_tongue: .
