If you're just here to troll as you appear to indicate then i don't think you'll remain here for long Unlucky
Why not try getting on with people instead of pissing everyone off.
I'm pretty much the same Yorky, althouhg when i bought my present computers they were mid of the range at the time and i just watercooled and clcoked em to shit. Before that i used to have to have the latest and greatest
It was a complete addiction, me and my dorm mate were both geeks and we'd spend half our time benchmarking and tweaking and buying this and that just to oust each other from the top spot by a couple of points
I once sunk almost £800 into a pair of 7800gtx's for my SN26P sli shuttle, and then got bored so spent about £600 watercooling the thing with two seperate loops all fully contained. That was a really fun challenge ha to be said, money aside. You say good eye, i simply noted that it was fucking massive
Like you say, there is no justification these days in upgrading, nothing requires the power companies are making availbale, that i think is why the computer modding and on the whole the custom pc scene has nearly become extinct, those with the know realised there was fuck all pint anymore, i remember "back in the day" when i HAD to upgrade to the greatest so i could play doom 3, simply not the case any more, any shit will do.
