I finally got the hardware for my newcomputer from newegg.com yesterday. A big server case with a transparent side panel. (I mounted 2 blue florecent lights inside, looks cool)
p4c800 deluxe asus motherboard. (works perfectly)
3 ghz p4 processor with hyper threading.
geforce fx5900 ultra (256 mb)
1 gig of kingston ddr pc3200 ram.

The ram is faulty. When playing games after about 5 minutes I get a blue screen error saying that their is an error on a memory address on my ram. It's happened multiple times and seems to keep happening on one of the same 4 memory address each time. I then downloaded a memory diagnonstics utility, loaded it to a floppy and ran it in dos.. That reported memory errors on the same 4 address as I mentioned above.
So the RAM is going back. Unfortunatly newegg wont replace my ram until they recieve the faulty ram which really sucks. All I have is 2-128 mb pc100 chips laying around to replace it while I wait for the good stuff to return.

During the short amount of time I am able to play games I get excellent framerate. I took off from chicago ohare airport with all settings maxed and project ai traffic loaded. I averages about 18 fps, then once I got away from that area it went up to a solid 25 fps (locked at 25) Then of course the computer crashed as normal.
If I turned the framerate lock off I have no doubt that I would get at least 40 fps in 'normal' areas.

But anyways, no games for me for about a week.. I don't even want to try playing a game with only 256 megs of pc100 ram.. ughh

........  How much did that cost?...
I'd have to say around... $2,500's?
   Thats a damn good computer you have there.

Looks Good man!

Hey, I am about ready to place an order with newegg but was wondering if you liked how they did things, ie shipping speed, any problems you have had with your order? The credit card is ready to go but id really like some info from someone who has dealt with them.

Thanks

Ughh... something must be wrong with my keyboard...

I wrote out a whole message and all my text disapeared.. went to the edit menu and was no option to 'undo'.. strange..

Anyways, I'll write it again.

I had no problem with newegg really. I paid for the 2 day shipping and an extra $3 for them to put a rush on it. It didn't get sent out in the first day though because their was a problem with them verifying my billing address.. So they refunded the $3. They emailed me every couple hours letting me know the status of my order which was nice.

The only problem I would have had is if I would have had to return the ram. They wont replace anything until they receive what needs replaced in the mail. I would have had to go about a week without ram for my computer.

I'm still not entirely sure if the computer is running fine yet though. I'm going to keep it running all day today and see if that damn memory dump error occurs again.

Yeah, I need to figure out a way to clean up the wires inside of the case. It's so big It's hard to hide them anywhere. I'm going to get out some of those tie things I ordered soon and see if I can clean it up.

Yeah, I saw some pictures of computers that had tubeing around the wires. I might end up doing that eventually.

The fan on this video card is loud.. At first I thought it was a wire touching a fan blade making alot of noise, after verifying that that wasn't the case I'm pretty sure it's the fan on the video card. I don't know what it is with fans on nvidia cards but they have always been a problem for me. My old geforce ti 4600 fan sounded like it was going to quit working. It was always making grinding noises and stuff.

This geforce fx5900 requires so much power a cord from the power supply plugs directly into it. I'm guessing it's to run the fan on it. When that fan starts spinning while playing games I can feel my whole desk vibrating a little.

that sucks... u shoulda gotten OCZ RAM 

my OCZ kicks ass
