(This is the Maw, dealing with the PC stuff, I believe this is the right place to post this.)
Well, yeah. Some students at my school, from my TV productions class, are going to Miami for this Ultra Music Festival in March. We need to be able to operate video toasters pretty well, as 12 of us will have control of the screens the audience sees on four to six of the stages.
What do the students get out of it? Well, our teacher will be paying the ones who are on the "small" stages $1200 a day, and the ones on the "big" stages $1400 a day. We will be there three days.
So, If I am chosen, I will probably be on the small stage. Guess what that means? $3600 bucks for me!
What am I going to spend it on? A car? College? Breast implants for a hot chick? Naw! Paintball, Games and Computers, baby!
I will set aside around $600 for Paintball, and spend around $2800 making the ultimate computer, save the rest for just your ever-day-thing. What am I going to be getting for my PC?
(Keep in mind the price I actually spend on this will go down, as some better stuff will be out in March, the time of this event, so the stuff I see now will go down in price)
Here's a list.
Case: Apevia X-Pleasure ATX Midtower w/ Window and LCDs
Power Supply: OCZ GameXStream 850-Watt
Motherboard: EVGA nForce 680i SLI NVIDIA Socket 775
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz

Disk Drive: Sony 16x DVD-ROM / 40x CD-ROM / Black
DVD Burner: Sony DRU-120C Multi-Drive
Harddrives: Seagate / 500GB / 7200 / 16MB / ATA-100
Memory: Corsair Dual Channel TWINX 2048 Gb PC6400 800MHz
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium
Monitor: AOC 19'' LCD
Keyboard: Gear Head PS/2 119-Key Internet/Multimedia Keyboard
Gaming Mouse: Already have a Wireless one for this.
I may also buy a couple of Xbox 360 controllers (one just for my PC) as my two wireless ones broke, and I only have two wired ones to split between my two Xbox 360s. I may also downgrade some of the paintball stuff so I can afford an iPhone...hehe.
What do you guys think? Would that be a good route? I really wouldnt have to upgrade in a while...or ever. Crysis is scaling back three years (and ahead one year), so it on low settings will look like Far Cry on max. Can you imagine games in three years, on low settings, looking like Crysis on max? I can definately deal with that.
