I'm Posting this again because people really need to accept their rating, unlike in the last thread.

Your rig may be good, but can it compare to THIS?


Mobo: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 ($245)

GPU: 2x ASUS EN7800GT DUAL In SLI (Or QUADSLI 7800GTX's) ($1,800)

CPU: AMD ATHLON x2 4800+ SHOC'ed (Stable Hyper Overclocked) to extrordinarily high speeds with a
Vapochill Lightspeed Cooler (http://www.frozencpu.com/cas-194.html). Someone got their 3.8GHz P4 to 5.5GHz stable with one of these, imagine what it could do with a 4800+ X2. ($1,001 + $840)

RAM: 2048mb OCZ platinum ($303)

Hard Drive: 4x 157GB 15,000RPM Seagate cheetas ($4,560)

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Elite Pro 8 ($385)

Optical: PLEXTOR Black IDE Slot Load DVD Burner (x2) ($280)

Power Supply: PCP&C 1000W ($500)

Case: VapoChill LightSpeed Ready LIAN LI case (http://www.frozencpu.com/cas-195.html) ($300)

Monitor: Dell 30" ($3,000)

Mouse: Razer Copperhead ($80)

Keyboard: Logitech G15 ($70)

Operating System: Windows x64 ($140)


TOTAL: $13,504.

THAT is what would be deserving of a Ten or close score.



MINE:

Dell Dimension 8400
Dell mobo
EVGA 7800GT
160GB HDD
3GHz P4 630
1022mb PC4200 DDR2 RAM
1x DVD/ CD combo drive
470W PCP&C Dell Silencer
Razer Diamondback


I got a 5.5 (I think) sounds fair to me.

7.7/10

Not a bad overclock on the 4000+ either.
It's 2.4 stock. Remember the guy obsessed with 3GHz?

Why? Because I use a Pentium 4 instead of an Athlon 64?

I assumed he was using onboard sound which pales compared to a standard X-Fi XtremeMusic, nevermind the X-RAM versions.

Maybey if he listed things like his sound card etc...
