Update from 5870 Eyefinity

Think that will do nicely. 750W would have been enough me thinks, but apart from a few extra bucks it makes no difference.

Which brands did you go with?

Sapphire Radeon HD 6990 4GB GDDR5:

Nice. Had an older Corsair 520W, recently replaced by Antec 650W. Solid PSU, build by Sea Sonic. Always top notch. And can't go wrong with Sapphire when it comes to Radeon.

Was thinking of picking up an Intel SSD in the near future, 80GB 320-series. Should be interesting.

Good stuff.

Great news everybody! Managed to FRY my SSD, HD, and DVD-drive. Used the wrong cable. (Yes, it looked nice and was from my old PSU... but sadly was wired wrong)

Especially the fried SSD is really bugging me!

Well. Live and learn. Ill go shopping for a DVD drive tomorro, so that I at least can install windows and get going.

That doesn't make any sense?

How's that possible??

Wondering the same... I'm guessing this was a modular cable from another unit?

You are correct, Arc. The modular cable were identical, except for one little thing; the internal wiring.

I found a local shop that had what I needed to get going. Just been there this morning, doing the Windows update dance now.

Ill report back on the 6990 and the rest when I get up to speed.
