[ODogg]

Hey guys, I finally got my new computer ordered, after only 4 months of research, debate, soul searching and etc. I decided to get a Falcon-Northwest machine. Main site: www.falcon-nw.com Here is the exact model URL for what I ordered: http://www.falcon-nw.com/fragbox.asp Build time is about 3 to 5 weeks so should get it about April 14-April 28

Fragbox II Falcon Case w/Falcon logo on front
Fragbox II w/open side panel and neon lighting
MSI Micro ATX socket 939 motherboard
Athlon 64 3800+ processor
Zalman ALCU CPU cooler
Corsair Twinx 1 Gig extra low latency memory, 2 x 512 dual channel
Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT video board w/256 meg DDR3 Ram
Seagate SATA II 160 gig hard disk w/native command queing, 8ms access time
Plextor 716 Dual Layer DVD +/- burner drive
Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS 7.1
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
World of Warcraft preinstalled
Overclocked system

I like to call this “my little monster” cuz it’s small, portable (for my contract work travelling of course) yet the specs are pretty fierce..

Here are some pics, I got the one with Falcon on the front :

Nice pickup ODogg.
You won't be disappointed with Falcon Northwest. I wasn't.
I thought you might go with the Alienware(like I did this time around)...but when it was time for me to upgrade from my original Falcon Northwest....I had a tough time changing too.
Good luck with it.
If you like sims....you gotta give Silent Hunter III a try. GREAT SIM.

Thanks man!! I am really fired up about this machine, 4 weeks seems like 4 years, heh.. Anyways, you are right, I def. gotta get Silent Hunter III and added that to my list. I played the heck outta 688 attack sub!! Great game. And I also played alot of the original Silent Hunter too although I remember it was pretty difficult (but rewarding).

Any recommendations on flight simulators? I've heard IL-2 is the best but man it's like 3 years old, was looking for something really cutting edge graphic wise to take advantage of the power!
