Is that budget including a monitor, keyboard and mouse or just the tower?About $2500 USD, looking at 2 Xeon processors, probably only quad-core to begin with.

Just the internals, we're building a custom built tower. It's looking at around $1000 USD to get fans power and board, plus about $500 for the 2 processors.Is that budget including a monitor, keyboard and mouse or just the tower?
MOAR BOOZE?there are about five million better ways to spend that much cash. just sayin.

That's not a bad place to start. What are you guys planning on using the desktop for?Just the internals, we're building a custom built tower. It's looking at around $1000 USD to get fans power and board, plus about $500 for the 2 processors.

Gaming/standard computer use... We know, it's a little excessive; but the pure bragging rights of computer speed among our peon friends. >.<
It's actually not as excessive as you think. I spent about that much on my PC last year hahaha. You've got a pretty good budget, just make sure you get a powerful enough power supply (700+ watts). What video card you putting in there? You better be eyeing those new AMD Radeon 7000 series graphics cards. BEAST THAT SHIT UP SON.Gaming/standard computer use...

don't build that shit under the influence or you'll end up with a shit load of gummy bears in your DVD drive1200 watts power supply specially designed for the job, and as of yet no graphics card, the 2 processors are all for now. 1 of my friends Radeon in his lappy, and swears by it so it'll definitely a radeon. Maybe 8Gb RAM as well. The board supports up to 42 so...
Keep in mind, 2 out of 3 of us ARE drunk (including Mush).
As previously mentioned, the sober member of the group will probably end up putting it together, so I doubt that will end up happening.don't build that shit under the influence or you'll end up with a shit load of gummy bears in your DVD drive
I had a few shots of whiskey before fitting my CPU, my hands were to shakey handling such a delicate device sober.

Hey, we all can't be exciting as Kentpaul and his British ways.kentpaul the fucking man up in here.
But it's like 1:30pm in the afternoon over there?no, but you get drunk thread bonus points if you're still awake and drinking while kentpaul is drinking and sniffing shit. DA MAN.
I'd try converse with him, but his lack of posts within the last 20 minutes suggests either he has gone on a search for nutrition or become unconscious. For someone that holds such a reputation on GAF, I've never had a chance to shoot the breeze with him.exactly!!
Coo.
Chopper's picking me up in a minute. I'm just baller like that.

kentpaul i know you don't know me fool, but i've been accomplice to and read up on your life and times. i'm a fan. hope things are going alright with that girl.
Finally got pushed over the edge to start watching Peep Show via a combination of it being on Netflix Instant and this thread. It's okay so far.
It's probably just because I'm drunk but the motion blur associated with the first person camera angle is making me quasi-nauseous.
i got you beat brah. my moose drool is 5.1%!!
When I have a drunk night to myself I typically go with a 1.75 of Merlot.
Beating me with the .1 goddam!
how many have you put down your neck ?
just a couple. only just got off work..
I go for buckfast, a nice scottish wine (made in England)
Sweet as fuck, packed with caffeine, gives of a pretty great buzz
The girl I'm sorta seeing got me into a pre-ban Four Loko the other night. Holy shit, had I underestimated its awfulness.
