Yeah if you want them just contact me we have quite a few of them available. I wish i got the 4 speaker set aswell, I have heard that other speakers don't work in the extra outputs is that true??

I heard there was a HUGE plasma screen that went for like $500 aswell.

BTW, what do u prefer when u build computers, AMD or Intel??

AMD !!! ALL THE WAY !!!

Yeah I am sure I will take em... will know 100% tomorrow (Wendesday) for you..

As for the extra speakers I am sure you need the boston ones

yeah, AMD seem to be the best apart from their excessive heat.

BTW, probably a stupid question but your g/fs dad machine does have digital audio out right?

Yeah mate... SB Live same as my PC with the Digital 5.1 output

cool, I want one of those new Audigy platinums

Waste of money really... they are just over rated SB Lives underneath all the fancy connections and Firewire.

If you want a real sound card get a Hercules Fortissimio or somthing, that is what I am going to get eventually when I find the connector for the Bostons cause its blue and all my other internals have blue PCB and its heaps better.

Sorry dude... but unfortunately he does not want the speakers...

no worries, was worth a try maybe someone else will need em.

The system is now home and running nicely Especially with the 20" SGI monitor hooked up to it (thanks for the heads up DumHed).

I got the system fully working yesterday and ended up playing GTA3 (Grand Theft Auto 3) all night on it

Will get the Boston speakers out from their storage area and set them up tonight....

Ahh... from Penitum II 450 to Athlon 1700XP+ is just such a shock

do those SGI monitors have any limitations mayhem?? like refresh rates locked and stuff like that?? (why are they so cheap? re: sgl forum)

They are second hand..... thats why they are cheap... but from looking at my one there is nothing wrong with them... they are not refresh rate locked and work fine

Congrats on the nice setup looks great for some ultimate case rice, overclock the sucker and stick an RH9 sticker on there

And yes AMD rocks, as does most hercules stuff that comes on blue pcb then again i may be biased

where abouts did you pick the monitor up from mayhem?? i got mine 2nd hand from a place in granville that recco's them and it's damn good, some hyundai one, 17" .22 dot pitch, max res is 1600x1200, set me back like $200!

These were from a place in Killara.

they're second hand ex lease monitors from SGI machines.
20" - $300... and as I just found out that's 20" viewable (19.8 ) so it's really a 21" screen.
They use Sony Trinitron tubes.
Max res is meant to be 1600x1200 but apparently they do 1920x1440 or something (!)

GODDAMN!

thats an amazing price for that size monitor...

was this a fluke, or they are regularly findable at those prices???

Its kind of a once off.. the company bought a whole heap of equipment from FORD and they tested it and are selling it off... Great deal (DumHed pointed it out to me and grabbed one instantly)
