What's first then...?

[S3r3nity]

Quick question for y'all, just out of interest, what is the first major (computing) purchase you plan on making in the new year? And what are you most looking forward to?

[K404]

For me, either a 45nm dually or new cooling.

Not sure what im most looking forward to. At the mo, maybe Nehalem or R700- a "real" Dual-core GPU is pretty cool.

You? :)

[Jokester]

I don't have any immediate plans on anything at the moment. Going to see how the 3870GX2 or whatever it's called pans out or what Nvidia gets upto GPU and 790i wise.

[Dualist]

Something high end 45nm.... not sure what platform though :D

[S3r3nity]

aye, myself the same, first thing will be a new water setup at the end of jan, but most lookin forward to the 45nm cpu's tho, all that potential!

[SoddemFX]

Some hardware of some kind instead of skanking off Dave most of the time :D

Hopefully Phase, although the first purchase this year will be K404s' E6850, and hopefully an E2180, just for having a muck around with.

[weescott]

Depends on what I break at the LN2 meet.

:unsure:

[maverik-sg1]

Well for me I think it will deffo be QX9650 this month and come Feb 14th the GX2 nvidia card will also be a strong contender - the line up should be strong enough to produce some decent benchies.

Depending on what motherboards come available for said cpu, the P5K3 may also be replaced at some point.

[elfy]

i was hoping to get a decent cpu, but my funds let me down :( someone lend me a cpu ;)

[skull_fcuk]

I think you should go see if you can play round at Mavs' house ;)

[thor]

A whole new rebuild!

[S3r3nity]

yeah skull fcuk those e2***'s are a godsend for playin about with, i feel a little less guilty about running suicidal voltages through my e2180 on air given that its a sub £50 cpu :)

[khanage]

first for me's gonna be a nice new evap head etc.to get me phase working again:)

[Johnny Bravo]

I need to sell up some stuff before buying anymore :D

[Stocky]

My single stage phase unit from Gray! (fingers crossed)

Oooh, what specs for that build Stocky..?? :waiting:

[Stocky]

Here's a pic from ssilencer:

[Dualist]

Looks sweet, what compressor is it gonna use.?

[Stocky]

I think it had an nl11f, but we were considering the Electrolux alternative - but I can't remember without checking what Gray went with. It should also have the new @itor head which will be nice :)

[Dualist]

It should also have the new @itor head which will be nice :)

The pretty clear led jobbie.? ;)

Sorry if going OT on the thread guys but I like Grays builds.

That's right. It's a shame about recent circumstances as he has had my unit for over a year and he's very difficult to get a hold of. Hopefully he'll have things all sorted soon and I'll have a single stage to once again bench properly! :cool:

[jabski]

he has had my unit for over a year

:ohmy:

Not sure what i will buy next. Need to sell some stuff too. Guess it depends what breaks first :rollyeyes:

[4Qman]

Cascade working and once thats all sweet ill have a wait to see whats going on with new 45nm and go for somethink along them lines.

[S3r3nity]

hehe the thread is turnin into a very interestin wish list and i can feel my wallet emptying as i speak :)

[vento1]

Probably nothing until the middle of the year unless i break something.

[skull_fcuk]

Mine is about to change, as i have my card on ebay, so it looks like i'll be getting a new G-92 GTS.

[H4rdcore-HeaveN]

Decent cooling for now got a fairly decent setup.

[Zaltan]

Nehalem and R700... I'm gonna save for a real upgrade, I could really afford anything decent ATM. :(

[scooter.jay]

i would have to say 45nm dualcore :waiting:

[easyrider]

Not sure,

9800 when they come out.

[sparkY1000]

At the moment my hard drives are so borked im looking forward to buying a new one, tis all I can afford for now :(

[S3r3nity]

hehe poor fella! just cough up for a coupla new drives then start saving and dream of nehalem or 9800...
