Intel Badass Mobo Guide

Gaming in 3D | Intel Badass Mofo Guide (9/19/02)
This post inauguarates the 'Speculative Systems' category. I'll investigate and report on interesting systems I find, and why I would buy them if I had the time/money to proceed. Also see 'My Hardware' for items I have purchased.
That said; I haven't built a pentium system since the P90...But I'll always be interested in value for the dollar. Leaving out the absurd 'custom' case, and perhaps waiting for the panel prices to stabilize in October, I would say this is an interesting system.

Conclusion:

Looking at the total price, approximately $1,542, plus $150+ for misc. parts and shipping - I would say this system isn't cheap. Yet in comparison with gaming companies whom build systems such as Alienware and GamePC, the Badass Intel Mofo is quieter, faster, prettier, and cheaper. With a little tinkering and alteration, I hope this guide will help aid you in your next computer purchase. Remember, shop wisely and overclock recklessly, until next time.
