Hey guys this will be short and sweet but I received my new rig last night. I had to leave work early to pick it up at Fedex.  The box was pristine not a problem with it. But then again I had it shipped overnight. yes I am that impatient. lol.

 

But so far I am very, very, extremely impressed and glad I made the right decision by buying from DSO. you guys have a customer for life.  I've never heard such a quiet PC and the manual it comes with is top notch.

 

Running Age of Conan maxed out 1920 x 1200 with every option maxed out. Still looking for things to max out. I get 45-70fps.  I can't wait for the game in add the DX10.

 

I don't have a camera but took a photo of it with my Blackberry. 

 

thanks again for my first real gaming PC

 
PS I deleted the pic will post a better one sorry

I think you should have saved up some cash and got a decent camera. Tongue
 
But from what I can discern in the pic, the rig looks nice. Coolermaster Cosmos S is a beautiful case.

Nice specs!
 
Why did you choose Vista 64? Just curious.
 
Also, I see that your CPU was OC'd. Can you tell me you at what speed is it running atm. I am considering to ask DSO to OC my Q9450 as well.
 
Lastly, when you are playing Age of Conan, do you get surround sound? I see that you have an X-Fi card, but I heard that Vista removed sound hardware acceleration from Vista. Did DSO install Creative's ALchemy for you?

It's Oc to 3.33ghz

So that would explain my sound issues yesterday I couldnt install the software for soundblaster last night.
 
I choose 64 and 4gigs of ram so I can play conan at max levels.  Hopefully the dx10 will be worth it when they release it this august.
 
Do you know of a work around for the vista issue with soundblaster?
 
I got sound from all 7.1 speakers. But I can't install the soundblaster software

I think the fact that you have Vista 64 is the reason why your soundbalster software is not installing (though I could be wrong).
 
This is the reason why I am going with Vista 32 and not 64. 32bit OS is simply much more compatible with any of today's software.
 
Regarding your soundblaster software issue, I suggest you give DSO a call.
 
 
 
 
EDIT: Why did you have to install the soundblaster software in the first place? Shouldn't have DSO done that for you!? Odd.

Bono update that pic!  If you can, post some from the front, back, and sides.  Make sure to have good lighting so we can see it well.  Many of the pics on this forum have poor lighting. Pinch

I know my friend.  I'm just giving you heck because of the quality of the pic.  It actually looks like a beast and please do get a better quality pic posted.  I'd love to see that in better perspective if you can do it.
