    Congrats! I see you went the cyberpowerpc route, I only recognize it because my own comp came from there. I’m very happy with them but was crossing my fingers because it was a hit or miss according to some reviews. But I got it in September and still happy with it today. 

    Just keep an eye on the PSU, if you bought the unbranded one that cyberpower has, rare occasions they act up and might burn out but that’s only through what I saw on the forums. I don’t have first hand experience with their PSUs mine was from EVGA. In general should be OK. 

    In future also skip buying Microsoft through them and buy an activation code elsewhere, it’s cheaper- but I understand the convenience of having it preinstalled and it gets rid of the hassle too.

    all in all congrats on your new rig. It looks fantastic to me. It’s expensive but you won’t regret a single penny if it turns out alright because it’ll be a beast at rendering and gaming. That’s how I feel about my computer at least

    Been using CyberPower for years and years now.... Good company and they are like in San Jose which is about 40 minutes by car from where I live so when they ship it's usually here in a day....... 

    Since the whole thing is paid for now the MS WIndows 10 Pro comes loaded so all I have to do boot in and put in the code.... I'm good with that.  Good to know about the PSU.  I'm sure CP works on getting bugs resolved in their own branded parts so we shall see what happens.  I was a little taken aback by the 1000, as it was only suggested I needed was an 800 but since this was part of the package deal it was one aspect of the set up that I didn't change out.  I did change out the ASUS MB for the Gigabyte MB as I'm a big fan of thier MB's.  I won't buy a computer unless the mother board is a Gigabyte.  

    ...yeah, I'm up the road apices in Portland OR.  With Newegg I usually get a shipment within 2 - 3 days without using express shipping.

    $3200 and it doesn't have a 2080 TI? Oof.

    Once you hit $3k, I think I would have just spent the extra and gone with the 2080ti for the 14GB memory and almost double CUDA cores.

    It would have added another $200 plus onto the bill.  I wanted to keep it under $3000 but with shipping and taxes it pushed it up to where it landed.

    Then get a cheap one. LOL

    I have a pretty mid range Logitech keyboard that is actually water proof and back lit so the only annoyance is when I bit of food gets inbetween the keys I have to grab a tooth pick to fling it out!  LOL 

    Ughh. I'm sort of a keyboard and mouse snob. I spend so much of my time at the things, and the ones I have to use at work are so bad, that I've gotten very picky about the ones I buy. I strictly buy good mechanical keyboards and am very careful about keeping them clean and remove all the keycaps every month and throughly clean the deck.

    Oh, I'm pretty neat with it and most of the time I put a cloth over the keyboard but sometimes I forget.  I wipe it down all the time.  I keep my expensive Logitech mouse clean too.  I'm not a slob!  LOL

    You seriously do not understand the leather scene.

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,381

    HAHAHA  Not many folks do Ken.  I didn't really fit into it actually.  I wanted to be a "boy" but wouldn't stand for being told what to do.  I wasn't a "daddy" as I have a hard time telling or directing others unless they are just doing something so obviously stupid I have no choice.  I like the look, the feel and the smell of leather but the liftstyle was one I moved away from.  Of course I still own all my stuff but don't fit into most of it.  My harness is just hideous on my body shape now so it's in a bag in a box in my closet!  LMAO

    ... and even if i did, i might maybe not talk the talk here on a 3d forum, and choose a light joke tone instead, hmmm?

    why in the closet? it would look awesome in your room on a mannequin or sth ^^

    Cool system. Somewhat similar to my new built. Just finished assembling in on Friday. I went for a i9 7920X 12 core and invested the extra cash into 64Gb of RAM and a 1 Tb NVME drive. The motherboard is an ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe in a Corsair Obsidian 800D case. Still testing, but runs nicely so far. CPU temp holds at 60C in fulll throttle render. The cooler is a Corsair 150i with three fans and 36 cm radiator. GPU temp goes to mid 70s in Iray render. There two GPU one 1080 and one 1080ti.

    Ciao

    I hear you hon.  I used to buy a good computer for $1000.00 + but now it's trippled in price but of course with the i9 and higher end vid card as well as the Solid State 2 Terrabyte drive it was bound to be more expensive than any rig I've bought previously!  

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,381

    Well the beast has arrived.  It's actually more of a beast than I thought.  The poor UPS man (cute as hell though) lugged it up to the 3rd floor and I signed for it.  He offered to bring it inside for me but I thanked him and lifted it up.. YUP heavy as hell like he said.  I was going to leave it till this weekend but I couldn't help myself.  I unpacked it and low and behold it's an entire INCH wider than my current rig.  Heafty and I'm sure ready to roll.  I was dissapointed that they didn't include the Windows 10 Pro disk so I guess I have part of my hard drive dedicated as a restore partition.  That's OK.  I guess it's better than having to load a disk in and all that in case something goes wrong.  

    Now for the fun.. this weekend I'll finish up ONE last little bit for my Gino package, upload that to 'Rosity and then start the long, arduous process of backing things up and then deauthorize programs like ZBrush, iTUNES and what ever else needs that and the perhaps on Tuesday I'll dive into the long period of getting everything installed and set up to my liking.  I really hate that part.  But a fresh start is always good at this time.  

    Wish me luck!  LOL smiley

    I am jealous!  Hope it brings lots of great renders, quickly!  yes

    Great job!  I am in the middle of building my own computer but that is expensive.

    You can download the Windows 10 installers from Microsoft, with options for DVD or USB drive, if you want back-up media. Actually, I think you can use Windows itself to build installers but they might include any additional tools installed on your system (which may or may not be a good thing).

  • nDelphinDelphi Posts: 1,967

    Enjoy your new rig! :)

     

  • manekiNekomanekiNeko Posts: 1,456

    have fun! :)

    i am a bit jealous too - of the possibilities open with a system like that! but i don't envy you even a little bit about the whole installing work, lmao XD

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,381

    Thanks folks.  Yea, I know I can create a disk but it's such a pita.  I think my current rig came with a Windows 10 Pro disk but it's probably VERY outdated without any of the current service packs and what not so thinking I won't use that EVER again!  LOL
