The box your box could play like

With the introduction of Ultra-Mode I figured it was time to finally upgrade my 6+ year old system with something that could handle it. And I'm happy to say, my brand new build slings thru Ultra-Mode like butter!

If you're still wondering what would work for Ultra-Mode, meet the SpideyBox:

AMD Phenom II quad core processor
Gigabyte nVidia GTX465 graphics card
4GB DDR3 memory
Asus M4A88TD-M motherboard
CoolerMaster Centurion 5 computer case
Windows 7 Pro OS
Major thanks to PCI in Chico, CA for helping me spec it out and doing all the heavy lifting

I see it, now I can't unsee it >.<

In all honesty with a few PC games on the horizon I actually want I prolly have to upgrade soon, mind dropping the figures of how much it cost you for that?

Heh, I'm already thinking the next box will be a Star Wars theme, those case lights have a lot of potential as lightsabers!

I dropped about $1400 on this one, but I had PCI do everything. So I paid markup on some parts plus labor. I'd guess you could put this together for $900-$1200 if you shopped the parts yourself and had some geek friends put it together for ya for Mt Dew & pizza.

I really don't think computers should glow orange. An orange glow inside a box looks like a bar grill, which has unpleasant connotations for hardware. A blue glow is much more high-techy

Other than that, though, sweet machine. It's not how it looks on the desk that matters, it's how it looks on the screen, and I'll bet that would look pretty awesome. Congratulations.

Like a bug zapper?



Great looking rig there though.

Exactly. At least it doesn't look like the rig is overheating. Though I guess that could be the point. My machine is so powerful it's shooting flames! In a good way!

Nice rig man.

Nice system. I wouldn't want it though.
I'm not big on the "everything must glow" aesthetic for my computer.

I agree, that case might inject some...*shudder* light into my gaming cave.

Then I'd have to find a new cave.

My new rig isn't nearly as glowy and stuff but the specs are nearly the same (some things a bit better stat wise) and yea ultra mode is a breeze... so all I can say is... I am comming to your house and stealing your glowy case

Very, very nice system! I like it! There's only one problem that I see...

I noticed an "HP" in the pic.

For shame, for shame.

Nothing can be truly considered "uber" if it has an "HP" branding.

(haha)

Seriously though, nice system.

Interesting use of floor tiles for your desk surface. Good lookin' rig too.


Badging in a PvP zone?

If you are treasure hunting on a battlefield wearing an enemy uniform, there is a high probability that you will be attacked.

This is an enjoy-the-ride game. "50" is only a number, not the goal of the game. - Noxilicious

Not into glowing internals myself. Waste of power, don't need a night light.

Nice Lupin torso.

What ultra-mode settings are you running, and what's you're FPS like? It's a nice system, no doubt about it, but how's the new shiny performing???
