And I've ripped apart countless Dells and countless homebuilds... I have processors that are well over 5 years old still going strong for both camps.

I'm calling the supposed master builder a flake. How can you build a system with an insanely-high (and verified many times over) TDP and then call it more stable? Maybe all your Intels are a fraction away from meltdown as well and you're running on the edge of lucky? Should I even ask if there's a decent amount of air coming out of the damn workstation? Is the air hot or slightly warmer than ambient?

I build this s**t like it's going out of style. I've even completely retrofitted Dell Precisions as need be... and recent stuff that we just couldn't get from Dell for the price point we wanted - RAID cards, etc. I'm not rating other people's s**t they've built for me at work when speaking about "my" experiences. I'm backing myself up. Or better yet, just ask Oscar. He's not a bad PC builder, either.

He asked for a gamer's PC. If he wanted a high-latency, high-heat, lower-framerate joke... I would have spec'd something Pentium 6XX.

Because you're accusing me now... what does your Pentium 6XX idle at? Full rip? Don't know? Or don't wanna reveal it. :rolleyes:

Whatever... Focused, good luck and don't let us "enthusiasts" or "bloatware authors"... I mean "developers" ruin your fun :D

I'm also dying to realize how scientific your comparisons are anyways, Frenchy. But wait, they aren't... you guys are too busy being slave-driven for objective testing.

NFS series rocks, the rest blows... and hopefully NHL06 doesn't suck ass. There's my quasi-support for EA today. Oops wait, C&C series kicks ass as well. Zero Hour is keeping me sane this week.
