paul2k12 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Hello, Well yesterday I ordered my new system: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Socket 939 1024MB DDR PC3200 RAM 200GB SATA Hard Drive 256MB DDR ATI Radeon X850XT Graphics Card Aluminium Case with LCD Display 17" TFT Monitor Creative 5.1 Surrond Sound Speakers Track IR Pro 3 Microsoft Sidewinder 2 Joystick Needless to say i'm excited to play LOMAC on this and my other flight sims. No I know i won't be able to play at full settings but as I play at minimal detail at the moment I will enjoy it even more. Will post pics of the case as it looks great. Paul
Kenan Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 No I know i won't be able to play at full settings WTF?! On that rig? You should be able to run LOMAC on high details no problem.

paul2k12 Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 Thanks for the replies, I don't think i realise how quick the computer will be. Looking forward to getting it. Paul
phantom_fly85 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 You will need a flux capacitor to get that system going! Just add that to your wish list. ;)
ZoomBoy27 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 You will need a flux capacitor to get that system going! Just add that to your wish list. ;)Is that the flux capacitor that needs 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power? Great Scott!

paul2k12 Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 As you can guess I am more than pleased with your replies. Can't wait to try it out. The box cost £1,258.00 // $2,300.00 just for the box no monitor, speakers, etc so I suppose I got what I paid for. Paul

SuperKungFu Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 whoa...you paid $2,300? I just built the same system for around $1,400-1,500. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

EvilGun Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Looks like prices for hardware in GB are very high. Here in Russia you could buy two the same boxes and had some money left to celebrate it :-) But case looks very good.
