Wow, awesome pictures, and what an awesome PC, you also have some great talent in room design Very Happy.

I'm not sure that I can afford to spend 6.5K on my Vadim, but I'm sure it will still be of great design quality Very Happy.
And you have two computers (unless there is another, hiding), two massive TV screens, and then a monitor, don't you get a headache after 20 minutes, if you turn all those screens on, and have both PC's running at once? Very Happy Im sure I would!

Have a rate for the great pics and the nice review.
What FPS were you running Crysis at?

And on a side note.. Do you know how to watch back movies recorded with fraps, using fraps, the program, or do you have to buy the full version, in order to do this?

Fraps is just a recording device it saves the video files to a folder of your choice normally in .avi format. If you use the "free" fraps you can only record for something like 25seconds but if you buy it you can record however long you want but in order to save space the files are broken up so for instance 10 mintues of COD4 is like 5-6 files.

Hope that helps

Blimey, love your room! And the new system!

Interesting to see your XPS sitting on the side of your room, but it's great how you've designed the room to fit together so well with the Vadim as a showpiece, instead of a fireplace like in most people's houses! I hope you got brakes on those castors, hate to see it roll off!

Anyhow a rate is flung your way for the efforts of posting on here. Very Happy


Cheers dude thanks for the rate Very Happy ...Ahhh my old XPS.. it has got a XFX Ultra and 4 gig, but is let down by the crappy Pentium D CPU Sad .....The castors brakes are on ..first thing I cheched. Wink

Cant add anything others have said, I can imagine how you feel!

I must repeat what at 2 of the others have mentioned and thats the way you have your room set up, its so neat and tidy. Ive been doing some design work for when I get my other Vadim hope you dont mind me copying your layout, it's perfect. Very Happy


My man of course not.. if you like I'll redesign that look for you, if you give me your room size ect. it really helped when I came to cut the MDF

Thanks for the rate dude Very Happy ...There is one more PC hiding, its my little MiniMac next to the Vadim...And the only thing that can give me a headache is Vista 64...The screens are Samsungs And are a bit bright but thats it (I'm truly Short Sighted! Shocked ).......If you want to see the FPS I was getting in Crysis then download the Zip.

I already knew that, I'm talking about playback.
Fraps can record for 30 seconds.
But, I'm trying to find out whether I can playback my clips, using Fraps, so that I can operate the little menu that is shown in playback, or whether I have to buy the full version.

A great review and a great system dmc.... Cool
I am so looking forward to mine Wink

I had a 300zx twin turbo, in red, in 1996-97...Was a great car.
I was also the first one in the uk who acted as a test mule for modified parts from a company called SYLVIA ENGINEERING...
Was running a custom exhaust, downpipes back, air filter and more importantly upgraded front discs with aeroquip hoses and pads...oh and a quickshifter... Cool
Was a funtime indeed.....
Get the best you can afford, manual with leather interior...

ps: Have a rate Twisted Evil
