Saving money happy:

Gerv, which system would look better man..That geforce 7900 running quad-sli or the xbox 360?[/b]

why does everyone here assume everyone is broke as fuck or a 15 year old that doesnt work? its not hard to buy things..just save your money ffs

Depends on how you mean by "look better".

In terms of smooth graphics then a pc with a decent graphics card running fsaa will appear a lot smoother than the xbox 360, even though the 360 has fsaa support it doesn't seem to be working too well in a lot of ts games. In terms of polygon counts then probably the 360 seeing as its a fixed platform and the games developers don't have to downscale polygon count for machines with lower specs like pc's.

ok ty

anyone know the depreciation values of video cards? State estimates and actual. I can't wait to get this 7800 when it drops down to like say $200-250 and then I'll snag one happy:

Why don't you just get a new 7800 right now for 300?

I assume you're talking about the Nvidia 7800gt? Might even be cheaper now, I bought mine for $300 back in November.

Im not paying a dime over 250 so that's why i said ill wait until it drops a little more. Im cheap, yeah i know happy: but i actually thought that the 7800 was a bit higher than that

my power supply will finally get here tomorrow dance:

no fancy case?? or just a power supply?

I have the entire computer built, but the powersupply that I had ordered was DOA. I had to RMA it and they sent it to me yesterday, so it will be arriving tomorrow.

Or will it ed:

Must be annoying having a new system sitting there doing nothing but gathering dust over a week or so. hake:

yeah, all I care is getting home in 4 hours and becoming a vegetable for the next 48 hours.

Alls i need to know is how loud that gfx card is when you're playing a game for a while before i order it. Im seeing some people say its a hairdryer, and others saying its quiet. oOo: I know on bootup its loud as fuck for a few secs but spins down pretty fast.

I am home, and with the power supply they sent me. I go to hook it up to my mobo and the 24pin connector only has 20 pins on the one in the power supply..... wtf. is it still okay to use? It fits but there are still 4 open spaces on the mobo....
sorry if this is a noobish question, but I really dont want to short out my system.
