Well for the most part i upgrade then sell off my "old" parts. Sold the 24" acer monitor, shipping that tommorow. I already have someone who wants the 4870, and hopefully should be able to sell the 260s next week. Just need to sell a few more parts. Its a hobby, its still cheaper than cars and women.:laughing:
So far all of the reviews of it have been glowing. VERY stable rails, as in ZERO ripple. Plus 88% efficiency at like 60% and 85% at 75% load, so the extra cost should be made up in electricity savings
That is true... I have a 600 watt psu that is around 80% efficient at 75% load, but anything above that and it drops drastically... So my bill gets quite high... But it isn't cheaper than quality tools as they last.
Just wish I had that kind of money, im usualy 2-4 generations behind....
^yeah, for the last 4 years i was atleast one gen behind. This is the first year i have been trying to keep up with it. Im already planning my I7 build and i might step up my 2core 216. But it is probably 4-5 months off, if not more.
