Rated M for Mature - PC mates with new beast

[biosc1]

She's been an NVidia girl since the beginning of her life, living with a 6600GT, a 7600GT and, lastly, a 8800GT...

Well, she got sick of the green "meat" and has decided to go with some "red (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=33214&vpn=4870PE51G&manufacture=Diamond&promoid=1006)" :)

Unfortunately, my new PSU (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26415&vpn=CMPSU-750TX&manufacture=CORSAIR)doesn't come in until today, so I was only able to seat the red beast in last night...she'll be firing up tonight...just in time for Fallout 3 :)

Niice. Mine is on the delivery truck on it's way here.

Looks nice and cozy in there.

My PC needs a severe upgrade.

I was a little scared when I took it out of the box and it looked huge...I thank whoever it was who suggested the P182 case to me many years ago :)

Wow...I really can't get a break these days.

Blah...ATI will not display an image on my old monitor over DVI....works when I use the DVI-VGA adapter, but the picture is pooey. Oh well, new monitor will be fixed tomorrow, will give that one a try.

Known issue with ATI drivers, EDID's and Vista (http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=260&threadid=96981&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear) :(

Edit: New monitor solved the issue. Seems to be an issue with some older monitors not having the proper EDID (mine was a Viewsonic).
