I recently read in Custom PC magazine about the awesome gamesmachine
that was put together by Gareth Ogden and Vadim computers that totally
blitzed all in its path. Well I had to have it but it was already sold
on to a very happy guy. However Vadim went one better on the design by
upgrading the motherboard and swapping the GeForce7950GX2 with an
8800GTX. Luckily the original was sold on without the cool side panel
and I have now got it fitted on my machine so it also looks really cool
as well albeit rather large. In fact this machine is so big I had to
make a little more room for it than I thought and it now sits right next
to me at eye level at all times, which is fine cos it looks so good.
Performance. Well playing online half life games has pushed my fps from
the early 20s to the 150-200 mark. This machine is so fast now that the
human eye cannot keep up. Build quality is second to none and the
afterservice is first rate as well.
