What Do You Think Of This Idea ???

Xmas is coming pretty soon, and I just had a great idea for a Xmas present. How about an Abit AT8 and two ATI X1800XT combined with the X2 4800+ I already have. Am I crazy or what?

Congrats Chicago White Sox

ROFLMAO. What a bunch of cheapskates. Ive ended up spending £30,000 remodelling my house, sounds totally off topic until I drop in the fact that originally all I wanted was a seperate sound-proof room for my PC and surround sound setup. Ive ended up removing the whole top floor of my house and rebuilding all the rooms and roof. I still cry myself to sleep everytime I check out my builders invoice.

Touche

. Look it's a raw wound don't prod it. Believe me I didnt expect it to get so out of hand, how was I supposed to know the previous owner had sawn through three of the roof supports

. I started with a budget of £10,000. Now my hopes of building my PCI-E system have momentarily been put on hold.
