    Posted: 05 Mar 2008 at 6:02pm
I was wondering if I could be pushed into the right direction on a build.  I ordered a DSO computer before, but due to an unfortunate family event I had to cancel, now I'm ready to go!  I would build my own, because it is pretty easy to do..but I do not like to have to be my own warranty service as well..I do enough of that at work.
 
Some basics:
 
1.  I will be playing Warhammer when it comes out, I want to be able to run on very good settings.
 
2.  I will be leaving this computer on 24-7 most likely, I'm playing around with Apache webserver Sleepy
 
Requirements for the build:
 
1.  No hard drives-  I do not need any, I have 2 brand new 1TB Hitachi Deskstars
 
2. No OS-  I have Windows Vista Ultimate
 
3.  QX9650 required, I want this processor!
 
4.  Max budget-  $3500
 
 
Any build suggestions let me know!

BTW I have both 32 and 64 bit Ultimate.   I do not need a monitor/keyboard either.
 
Also if a DSO rep could chime in on how much more it would be when the QX9770 comes out compared to the QX9650 and how long of a wait that would be..I would consider waiting for that processor to come out.

You can change to 780i and get SLI if you play at a large resolution.

The QX9770 is expected to retail for $1399 and aren't expected to be on shelves until early April at earliest.
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I will probably play on 1680x1050 or around there.  Is it okay to leave a computer running all the time that is liquid cooled?  Also what maintenence is required on a liquid cooled CPU?
