Based on xsistor’s latest build over at The Prior Art, I came up with this. The idea was to make a system to cost the same as some dosh all-in-one but with 3D goggles and a massive screen to start. I wanted to make a ATI/AMD system, so I did. I took off the same amount as xsistor, as I’m sure if this 3D thing does take off AMD’ll want a piece. Could have gone for AMD/NVIDIA but then this awesome motherboard wouldn’t have worked.
For a genuine Nvidia system, sub in this motherboard for the one I picked (same price) and lots of DDR2 ram instead of the DDR3 here. You could probably get about twice the RAM for the same price.
Anyway, check it!
