Title: Post your specs!
Post by: DeltaHybrid on August 30, 2005, 07:47:21 pm
ok first off, this isn't to brag about how your PC is "ohh so much better" then everyone else's. Rather, this topic is just mean't for people to post there PC specs, and receive comments and suggestions from other posters of how they could get the most out of there PC.

well here is mine:

case: Tsunami Dream Silver
Proccesor: P4 3.2 GHZ(currently overclocked to 3.4) w/ Duel Bios
screen: 17 inch dell monitor
speakers: 5$ wallMart speakers (lol)
RAM: 2048 MB DDR RAM
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 9800 XT (AGP Slot x8)

its not the best, but certainly gets the job done. I bough the parts at various times, and assembled it all myself. The case has a glass window on the side, with 2 sets of neon lights in the PC(neon blue and green). It gives a pretty neat look at night time.

It runs really good on a ton of things, probably due to the RAM, but for some reason it likes to chug during big fight scenes (like some of the parts in Half Life 2). Can I fix this buy buying a better graphics card? I like sticking with ATI but if Nvidia would really help more then i'll switch. I have 565 dollers to spend on my PC now, so prefferably something to take advantage of the extra money.

so whats your PC's?

Athlon 64 1.8 GHz (low speed I know, but it beats the hell out of any Pentium with a higher number)eVGA Geforce 5700LE (i have it overclocked to 350 MHz but it doesn't seem to make a difference)512 PC3200 RAMSucks, I know, but it runs what I need it to. Photoshop CS9, Winamp, Soldat, and Starcraft.

DeltaHybrid, that's a decent system. Your box is coughing during those 'big' fight scenes in HL2 because of your graphics card most likely (not that it's a bad card anyways). If you intend on spending all that money on a graphics card, then get the 7800GTX, most powerful card out there (it is nVidia).Here are my specs:512MBx2 2.5-3-3-6 1TAthlon64 @ 2.0GHz (venice)MSI K8N Neo4 PlatinumATI X800XL 256MB (PCIe)Silverstone Zeus 520WThermaltake SViking caseMy PSU is nice and powerful but... damn, has it got cables! I haven't looked into it but, is there any way to soft mod my graphics card?

nice ram Brown, that'll last a long time.thing is, I can't really fit any more in my box(unless they sell 1 gb sticks?) because I have 4 512 in there, taking up all 4 of the slots.yea, I was looking at that card errata. I'm very tempted to buy it, but my worry is that once I get this supped up AGP card PC, in a few years I won't be able to run ANYTHING because of PCI-E and it's SLI-Mode.. should I invest in a PCI-E board instead, or will AGP still be around for awhile?thanksalso: thats an awesome Notebook, The Magi. Recently Notebooks have all been getting alot powerfuller then they used to be(but does the bottom of it get really hot?)

Case: Shitty easy access screwless pap (my HDD is mounted vertically at the front so one good boot would nuke my system and everything is held in with plastic clips :[).CPU: 2.6Ghz Celeron D (AKA TEH SUK CHIP).RAM: 256MB DDR (NEED MORE RAM!!!).Graphics: 64MB Intel Extreme onboard (must aquire AGP graphics card without wasting money that will be used on other shit).Monitor: 15" LCD TFT (I have a 17" widescreen LCD TFT, but I haven't got a spare cable and the monitor I'm using has one built in... FUCK!).HDD: Erm... 40GB Seagate I think... partitioned it and shit for Linux dual booting and forgot the size (need another HDD anyway, they aren't Earth shatteringly expencive).Speakers: None... my monitors speakers are infinitely shit (two tin cans and a piece of string) and I don't have my others attached, so I use headphones).Networking: WiFi via USB dongle (for interweb), Bluetooth via USB dongle.Printer: Lexmark X1190 all in one (print, scan, photocopy and fax).Removable media: 64MB pen drive, 256MB pen drive \ MP3 player, CD burner \ DVD combi, Floppy.OS: Windows XP, SuSE (Knoppix, puppy linux and Linspire live on CD, but Linspire is shit and doesn't run).Web connection: 2MB broadband (shared with another computer) over WiFi.My PC is pretty shit for gaming and stuff, but it's Ok for web browsing and coding, which is 90% of what I do on it.

Damn Belross, that thing is so small! Do mini form factors like that overheat quickly? and can you still put normal tower-PC componets in them?(like graphic cards and ram, ect. because some AGP cards look bigger then that entire case)

Naw they don't really overheat. Most come with a good heatsink system for the CPU. Other than that they use "regular" PC components just like a full sized tower.

No way that those games can run at max settings on your pc without extreme lag, unless you count 20fps as 'no lag' (or really low res and no aa/af).

Well I'm not running with AA on but they run fine!  I get about 35-50 FPS on all of them, except maybe BF2 where I get like 25.  Like I said though, I get like 3 minutes load time when loading a new area for HL2.

25 and 35 fps is pretty (s)low. I would imagine you run at a low res like 800x600?

I always thought it was annoying when HL2 would drop from 70 to 60 FPS (although now that I've talked to Leafo I could probably turn Vsync off to get higher... Although I dunno if that would be a good thing). I can't see how you can stand running at 25-35 FPS. x_x

Youre not going to notice changes in your fps if it is already higher than your refresh rate.

You mean my refresh rate?And how can I get it so I can have a higher refresh rate? Can I get a better monitor? Or something for my computer? Or is it impossible? ._. The limit on 1280x1024 is ridiculous. =(

1024x768.  Regardless, I've played on my friend's top of the line computer and I notice very little change other than the amount of FPS he gets over mine.  The human eye can only percieve like 20 FPS anyway so I don't really care if it's high.

Totally false. Thus the reason that a game at 60 FPS will seem MUCH smoother than one at 30 FPS. I mean, the human eye can see over 120 FPS. Just ask your eye doctor. ^.- So yeah... It definitely matters... Unless you have bad eyesite... I'd die playing a game at 20 FPS... That would be so choppy... Theres reasons why games normally run at 30 FPS at the very minimum (though technically 12 FPS or more shows movement... It just sucks).

You can watch movies at 24 fps because it is a constant 24fps and because they use fancy features like motion blur.That said, I run the game at 1280x1024+6xAA (+temporal AA)+16xAF+max settings at average 60-70fps...there is a noticable change in image quality.  If I turn down the res to 1152x864 and drop AA to 2x and AF to 4x, I get min 60-70, 90-100...and it loads in 30secs in any mode

When I bought my new case, the old Comcrap motherboard was hard to fit and used four extra PSU pins (grr).I'm getting some more RAM (1GB methinks) so WoW and newer games will run better (terribly loading lag in Orgrimmar!). Will probably get a better gfx card for Oblivion, too.

That's a typo right? Or did you somehow manage to get 1028MB of ram? That would be pretty cool (even if useless)!

Anyway, since I posted my specs I have upgrade to a gig of ram... Much better than my 512MB before. Now when I play games like FEAR I can spin the camera and not notice a choppy moment every few seconds.

Yeah I saved up like $6,000 from working, selling on eBay, and other misc. profits.

I have changed my PC about a bit since the last time I posted in this topic, so:

OS: Ubuntu 5.10 (SuSE is retarded) + XP Home (also retarded).
CPU: Celeron D 2.53Ghz (Still retarded).
RAM: 256Mb DDR (May get more next week or so).
GPU: Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 AGP x4 (not the best and should be running at AGPx8, but my PC is retarded).
Case: Some retarded white hulking thing similar to rami's, but with HAXXORED in front USB and firewire :D
Sound card: I haven't put one in yet, though I have had one sat around for almost a month :/
Networking \ INTERNETS: Belkin PCI 802.11G card (which Linux actually likes).
HDD: 2x 40GB Seagate drives (one partitioned for XP and linux and the other just for files and shit, nothing special,but it stopped me going to but a new drive from PC World or the shop near me which franchises it's name from the place my brotherinlaw works for... The people in there are so retarded).

What I hope to do soon is buy a case like this one (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/images/454867_01_large.jpg) and ram all my shit into it as well as buying more RAM, possibly a better CPU (I use a Celeron and I like computers, LALALALA... I suck) and assuming the LCD 21" widescreen TV I'm getting in a week or so supports VGA or preferably DVI, I'll be making use of that rather than my current 15" LCD.

And yeah, it's a Dell laptop. :-/

Intel Celeron M processor 360 (1.4 GHz/1 MB Cache/400 MHz FSB)
15.4" LCD display
512MB DDR2 SDRAM 2 Dimm for memory
Integrated Intel® Media Accelerator 900 Graphics (definitely not a card for gaming)
40 GB 5400 RPM hard drive
Windows XP Home Edition
24X CD-RW/DVD combo drive
802.11 b/g internal wireless card, 54 Mbps

And yeah, that's about it. No floppy drive, no PCMCIA slot (it has something called an ExpressSlot or some shit like that), and 3 usb slots.
I love this thing.

Post by: dnelson on March 30, 2006, 05:17:03 am
I have a shit computer compared to most of you guys...  Of course I am too lazy to get a job so I shouldn't complain:

Processor: AMD Sempron 1.8Ghz (Crappy, I know, but I haven't run into any problems that had to do w/the cpu, its the lack of ram and a video card that is the problem)
Ram: 512MB (To be doubled after a video card)
Video Card: Integrated (To be addressed)
OS: Windows XP
Hard Drive: 40GB (160GB HD in the mail for my music/torrents)
Disk Drives: DVD-Rom/CD-RW

So my question to you guys is what Video Card should I buy?  I don't have a PCI-e slot (obviously, look at the rest of the specs) so I'll need an AGP card.  I want a card that will allow to play the Sims 2 in decent detail and at a good framerate.  I know it is possible with my computer, because my friend has a computer that is close to 3 years old and can play Doom 3 perfect on high settings.

I was looking at this http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1776106&sku=P450-8568
(yes I am canadian) and I was wondering if this would get the job done.  Games like Sid Meier's Pirates run fine, but I burnt The Sims cds 2, 3, 4 (downloaded the first one, which wouldn't copy for some reason) off of my friend and the install went perfectly (I was expecting it to mess up, seeing as how I just downloaded a play disc that could've easily been a different version) but the game was horrid.  It looks like The Sims 1 and plays slower than god.

I have a weak budget (>$150CDN) but I need a card that will run games of this calibre on my computer.  I was also wondering if I should buy a fan to go along with it, seeing as how I only have a case fan.

I know I should probably just go and buy another computer with a better CPU, but I don't have the money and won't have for a long, long time.

Thanks in advance guys.

Windows XP Professional SP2 - eXPerience "Mini-XP" edition (A trimmed down version of windows whose installer is only 121mb, fits on a minidisc, and on fresh intall uses only 48mb of ram. It is very optimized)

And I stuffed it all into one of my first ATX cases I got 6 years ago! I didnt feel like spending a lot of money for a durable steel case, only to get stupid eccentric designs and cheap parts.

Yeah, I still owe my mother 250 dollars from its construction. Cost me 1050 total.


Working on getting my scores up in 35mark 05. (06 doesnt work atm!)
Right now I am at

9277
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1946014

CPU is at 1980mhz (220  x 9)
GPU is at 555/1750

I need to figure out how to unlock the multiplier on my cpu, because I doubt I can get my cheap ram any higher. But ultimately I am going to purchase new ram, probably this summer when I get more cash. If not the multiplier then I will have to change the DDR to CPU ratio and see how far I can get with that. Apparently this processor can get to 2.6ghz easy on stock air/voltage.

Also need to get 3dmark 06 working because my graphics card is ps3.0

1024x768 4xAA:      No result?(It gave me a number, but when I open the saved result it says N/A x_x go figure)
1280x1024 No AA:  4504 marks

these tests ran very smoothly...lowest it got was 15 FPS except on the processor tests of course...

took some pix of my computer..


also, I got my 3dmark 05 up to 9825. (up 200 pts). I dont think I am ever going to get 10k+ with an unmodded card. As soon as I can get my hands on some conductive ink first I am going to boost the voltage to 1.4v, the same that the 7900GTX uses. Video card was at 570/1800. I cranked it up to 585/1820 and ran 3dmark again but I was getting massive artifacts. The bench finished by my score had gone down 100 points. My video card is also getting very hot, close to 80C while benching. Anyway, with the volt mod, I have seen people getting 670 artifact free. To top that, there are some more advanced volt mods to get the card up to 1.55v, and one guy was able to get his to 800 core, which is pretty impressive!

then again.. this is with laxed cpu speeds, stable ones. If I go back up to 2600mhz then I might be able to get to it! (was @ 2400mhz for the test above)




then my old computer

I love your messy wired case.... reminds me that I'm not the only PC gamer in the world who still doesn't wire manage.
People at Millionman LAN laughed at my old PC's wiring job.

And your going to OC mod a 7900? Your brave indeed. If mine burns up, at least I can fall back on warranty. Kinda scared me when my gf's 6800 fried last week.

No warenty to break, can just wipe off the mod with acetone.
Going to need to buy a new HSF though, because the stock one is a piece of doo doo. I am already getting up to 70C on intense gaming.

But yeah.. I kind of just stuff all the wires into the empty cd rom spots.

512MB DDR RAM
160GB Ultra DMA HD (with a 1TeraByte add-on drive)
SiS Mirage2 Graphics with 128 shared Video Mem.

My Future Rig once I get enough money (and when it's released)
The nVidia Quad SLI, which is 2GB RAM, 2GB of Vid Mem, 4 nVidia GeForce 7950GX2 video cards, 3.0Ghz+ (Don't remember exact value), with my 1TB external drive + whatever HD it comes with.

It plays F.E.A.R. completely maxed out on a resolution of 2560x1600 resolution with soft shadows enabled.

IE: It can run any game on the market right now maxed out.

Saving up money for such a great purpose.

The 7950 is a single card made up of two cards packed together essentially.. So you are getting 2 7950s, not 4 of them. Also, each one has 1gig of video memory (but since it is two cores on each card, each one really has 512mb, and they all function in an array like format, so you dont really get 1gig of useable video memory). When you run in SLI that doesnt mean you add the video memory together. Also, new nvidia core comes out next september, the g80. you might want to wait for that, unless you have the money today to spend on the two 7950s.

Post by: HL on June 16, 2006, 08:56:10 pm
I might do that Leafo.

The QUAD SLI according to nVidia can use either 7950GX2 or 7900GX2 cards.

But I might just go for what you said leafo.

What? I was clarifying what you said because it made no sense.
Title: Post your specs!
Post by: HL on June 16, 2006, 09:46:45 pm
I meant that it is "4 video cards". Each card is  2 cards. Therefore 2x2 = 4.


The 7900GX2 is also 2 video cards put as 1.

The QUAD SLI is the first system IIRC to run on 4 video cards though.

Though I could be wrong on that.

Would overclocking be dangerous on a system that only has one fan besides the one on the motherboard?

And to measure system temperature, should I tape the temperature reading wire of my case to my heatsink or just leave it lying around in the case?

Case: Aspire X-Dreamer Black (mid-tower, aluminum)
Proccesor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 2.01 GHz (just overclocked to 2.69Ghz, doesn't affect temperature much)
Screen: 17 inch cmv lcd monitor
speakers: random 10$ speakers
RAM: 2 512MB DDR sticks
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 7600GS
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology C51-MCP51
HDD: 1 160 GB, 1 120 GB (don't know the specs)
DVD: BenQ DQ60 (pretty good and cheap with dual layer burning)

If I waited about a month, I could have saved so much money on that processor. But it was a $400 combo with that motherboard on eBay.

EDIT: I got 10035 on 3DMark but my GPU temp is 68-69, should I leave it or lower the clock frequency?

It's a bit too bad dual processors don't work like that (you can't ADD THEM BOTH), they're Pentium 4's which means they are inefficient for games and only 32 bit, only 256mb video memory of an unnamed card, seperated RAM, slow hard drive...

Yeah, REALLY great PC you have there.

My god, so mean, so mean...

I know that processor speeds can't be added like that, I fixed it, geez...

Plus, the HD is slow, but it's faster than the Compaq computer my mom just bought, which is to say its not too slow.

I KNOW Pentium 4 Processors are NOT for GAMING (EXCUSE my CAPS, but obviously OTHER PEOPLE DON'T SHY FROM THEM) it is a business computer.

Yeah, I need a different video card. I was broke at the time and had some other junk laying around, so I put mine together from scrap, I have to admit it's junk.

Nothing too bad about seperated RAM, as I see it. I mean, yeah about 20ms of slowdown on each different chip during loading, but that's only 1.6 seconds of extra loading time I am adding on.

What I meant by "Dwarf" is that you guys have tiny PCs. Mine uses an external Hard Disk that is huge, and that the speakers are bigger than the PC itself.

In no way did I mean to affend people saying my PC is faster than anybodies, I just thought it was cool to let people know about my PC.

And by the way, I am not a retard. I have been around PCs all my life.

so how much did your friend brian spend on his lab that has to be COMPLETELY 100% DUST FREE in order to make that hard drive and even if you really did make the hard drive yourself there is no fucking way that it is going to be faster than your standard off the shelf hard drive

p.s. 20ms on RAM is about 10 million times slower than it should be (not exaggerating in the slightest), but that doesn't even matter because there's no such thing as "slowdown during loading" when you're talking about RAM

i mean come on you're not even trying to be believable

OUT OF WOOD

By the way, "lufia", you cannot compare a HDD to a Compaq computer. Secondly, if it's a business computer, why oh why do you have 4GB's of RAM and 256mb of video card memory? And heck, since when did motherboards have 8 SLOTS for RAM? Especially ones that support dual processors. Oh wait, you made it yourself. Silly of me. And clearly you're a master of engineering, you put together a graphics card from some junk? Those idiots at NVIDIA spend years developing their cards, and you put it together in a few days? Amazing!

Meh, mine's nothing great, but I've had it since 2001. It's from Medion, which is a german company. My parents picked it up at an ADLI's foodstore one day, which may sound wierd, but it works good enough for me, though it isn't as great at playing games as I'd like it to be, it can play most games, but not always maxed out.

- 80GB HDD
- 512 MB RAM (2 256MB sticks, came with 1, but I got another)

If you drop your system, the condition of the case is the last thing you should be concerned with. The impact has the potential to do some critical damage to the electronics.

I just bought my new computer today, because my old/current one can't handle WoW sometimes :(

So I already had a bunch of parts for it, so I was going for quality and cheap, and it ended up costing $400. Pretty good.


Case : Spire BlackFin SP-6190B Silver/ Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811220008)

Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813128321)

Powersupply : Rosewill RV400 ATX 400W Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817182007)

CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor 2000MHz HT Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819103735)

RAM : G.SKILL 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) System Memory (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820231085)

Video Card :  XFX PVT42EYDF3 Geforce 6800XT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150154) (got this for free)

Already have plenty of IDE (200GB, 60GB) and SATA (2 80GB) hard drives, as well as CD/DVD drives and everything else. I did buy a floppy for it and some round IDE cables though.

Also one thing I was going for was getting all the "newest" stuff; PCIe, gigabit connection, DDR2 RAM, socket AM2, and all that stuff. This build is technically only partially done because it was like a "FUCK I NEED A NEW COMPUTER checking acount -400" kind of thing. So eventually I'm going to either stick another 1GB stick of RAM in there, or maybe get a 2GB stick and see how that goes, because that mobo supports up to 16GB. It all kind of depends on how expensive it is for those higher sticks, as well as the fact that DDR2 itself will make 1GB enough for a while.

I originally had a different processor, exactly the same shit as this one only a single core, for $100. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted a dual core. So hopefully it was worth it.

Also I have been using my current computer for a number of years, and have actually been on this same install of Win2k for a little over 2 years now, never had any major problems. I will be sad to see this guy go (also I spent like 200 bucks making it slightly better so I'm also kind of pissed), but man I cannot wait to get that new one.

My next goal is to get a nice desk and another monitor. But that might wait a while.

Post by: goldenratio on August 19, 2006, 11:34:36 pm
At work my friend and I bought them for our computers, but we couldn't use them and our boss forgot about it so we took em. It's probably just ok, it was only like 180 on Newegg when we bought em, so i'm thinkin are so-so for some reason. I have another XFX card (a 6200 256mb) and it was been running solid for a while now. So I think XFX makes good cards.

No problems with the motherboard expect in OS X, but then again you can't really expect super solid support on OS X86 unless you are using close the Apple/Apple hardware.

Also no to mention MiniXP didn't have drivers for ANYTHING on my motherboard.

I had no idea there were widescreen 21" CRT. That thing must be gigantic!

No, it's a old monitor (90's) and when using it in full screen everything is dull and dim, but when you make the drawing area on the screen smaller the brightness boosts up real nice, so I almost always have it set for widescreen.

I am looking to upgrade my comp so i figured this was the best place to ask (after I post my specs)

Unfortunately I am pretty uninformed (stealing from dxdiag)

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) ,  MMX,  3DNow, ~1.1GHz (would there be any reason the processor speed wouldnt be showing the correct GHz? I swear I had a faster processor but I am pretty unsure, I could always try to find the box it came in)
Memory: 512MB RAM
Video Card: RADEON 9600


I am kind of looking for a small upgrade just to run some games better (like Burning Crusade and Half Life 2, Also Dawn of War) I am going to try and upgrade one thing at a time so in your opnion(s) what should I go for first? I am thinking 512 more ram, but I notice my processor is kind of shitty too... not sure about video card though. Also like I said I am pretty UNINFORMED so this is probably not all the shit I need to upgrade to turn my computer into a leet gaming machine, I'm not sure how a mobo plays into effect either.

All that said I am looking to spend under 150 (hopefully) But I am also trying to get a bigger hard drive so is this a possible goal?
Title: Post your specs!
Post by: Bondo on January 17, 2007, 05:31:19 am
I purchased some upgrades not too long ago.  I shall post my specs for the record, and for posterity.

Power Supply:
650 Watt by some company I've never heard of.  Can you tell that I plan to SLI eventually?  Either that, or I plan to supply power to a small village in Africa.

UPS:
CyberPower 685AVR 70minute UPS.  I bought this because power outages/surges killed my last setup.

Motherboard:
Gigabyte S-Series NForce 4 SLI socket AM2.
This baby has 4 SATA ports, and supports RAID.  She'll only accept DDR2 ram.

CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800 Dual Core
Not Top of the line, but not exactly low end either.  I would say that it's high mid-range.  Or Low high-end.  Though, considering most users, this is a pretty freaking sweet chip.

RAM:
2 512mb Sticks of DDR2 675
This is a total of 1gig running in Dual Channel Mode.  I want to upgrade to 2 gigs eventually.

Hard Disks:
1 RAPTOR 10000rpm 74GB with 16mb cache
1 300GB 7200rpm with 8mb cache
I want to get another RAPTOR and link it up in a RAID with the other RAPTOR.  I put my OS and various demanding games/programs on the RAPTOR, and everything else on the other drive.

Optical Drive:
Plextor DVD-DL burner.
Pretty standard.  There isn't exactly variation here.  It's about everything I could hope for in an optical drive.  The only way I could do better is if I had two.

Sound Card:
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
It works, and supports EAX2 HD Advanced.  I really see no need to upgrade to a Sound Blaster XFI.

Video Card:
PCIx GeForce 6600 w/256mb of video memory.
Sigh...  I'm borrowing this from my brother-in-law, because after all my upgrades, I couldn't afford a video card.  And I had JUST bought an AGP 7600 with 512mb of video memory.  But alas, PCIx boards do not have AGP.  But still, with my new CPU, some games run better even with the video card downgrade.  Of course, some games do not, but I expect to change that in the future with a GeForce 7950.

Case:
I don't know who makes it.  Uh.... It's got a nice color scheme, with matte silver and a titanium-looking color.  It also has some gloss black.  There is a nice blue LCD display that tells me the up-time, temperature, and fan speed.  It's very clean and classy looking.

Input Devices:
Logitech multimedia keyboard of some sort.
Logitech MX518 corded mouse.
Wacom Intuos 4x6
XBox 360 corded USB controller

The keyboard is nothing to brag about, but the mouse is the best mouse I have ever owned.  I feel it to be even better than later Logitech mouses, such as the laser varieties.  I never was one for cordless.  Too much hassle with batteries.  My Intuos lets me draw crap.  It's my pride and joy.  I use the XBox controller to play with emulators and to play racing games.  Oh, and Cave Story.

Display:
One Viewsonic 19" CRT Trueflat display with UltraBrite technology.
One old 19" monitor from some old HP my neighbor had.
I'm running these side by side in a nifty multi-monitor setup.  I just like having the extra real-estate.  I'll put reference images on one side, and I'll draw stuff on the other.  It's a hell of a lot easier than Alt-Tabbing.  It's also nice to put Media Player on one screen while I run Firefox in the other.

Audio:
Maxell NC-II Noise Cancellation Headphones
They sound good, and when I flip the little switch, I can't hear much else.  I like em.

Misc:
Minifridge
Lexmark All-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier
Brasso
Steel Beer Flagon

The mini fridge is a little 12 volt, so it doesn't take up much power.  It can hold 8 cans of "dew."
The printer is mainly used as a scanner, as I don't print much.  That's Ok though, it sucks as a printer anyway.
Brasso.  It's metal polish, especially for brass.  I use it to repair CDs.  I tell you, nothing works better.  Just put a little on a soft cloth, and wipe outwards from the center of the CD, out.  Rinse it off with water, dry it with a soft cloth, and POW.  It'll probably work.  If it doesn't, then it's beyond repair.
Steel Beer Flagon.  I'll sometimes drink beer from it, but not usually.  I have glass pint glasses for that.  Now, it just holds pens and such.

And that's my computer setup, now forever immortalised in the hallowed halls of Gaming World.

Bought a new computer couple of weeks ago, and got it last week (now I'm broke again). Here's the specs:

Case: Sonata II Piano Black (with 450W PSU and 3 case fans, very quiet and cool)
Motherboard: ASUS P5B Deluxe (supports SLI with 2x 16x PCI-E, RAID, etc.)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 GHz with 4 MB cache
RAM: 2 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 RAM (plan to upgrade to 4 GB later if needed)
GPU: nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB (DirectX10 compatible)
HDD: 500 GB SATAII 300MB with 16MB cache
Optical drive: LG 18x DVD+RW with Lightscribe (black)
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

I also bought new keyboard, mouse and headset with it:
Keyboard: Logitech G15 with LCD display
Mouse: Microsoft Habu gaming mouse (a MS/Razer mouse, IntelliMouse-esque)
Headset: SpeedLink Medusa 5.1 Home Edition Surround head set with amplifier

I'm still using my old 19" CRT, but when I'll get some money soon, I intend to buy:
Samsung 226BW 22" Wide LCD

The only thing that I will not replace is my Creative's 5.1 surround speaker system. It's not the best one out there, but I use headphones 95% of time, so it's not worth investing any money on better surround set.

Did you go "Jesus christ it's huge!" when you took your 8800 out of it's packaging? I sure did. Fits in my Antec case with 1cm to spare.

Case: Antec Lanboy II with blue cancer light (Came with carry handles that attach, making me a bad nerd)
Mobo: None. Well okay, I'm getting an Abit Nforce Ultra K9N delivered soon because my crappy Asus M2V broke (VIA bad)
CPU: AMD Dual Core 5000+ X2 Standard Clock: 2.6 Ghz
RAM: 2 GB of DDR 667 Mhz (That's 1 x 1GB and 2 x 512MB)
GPU: NVidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB (Dx10 but within my student loan capacity :P)
HDD: 2x 80GB PATA drives (I can't seem to get rid of these but my new board has SATA on it and HDs are mighty cheap now...)
OS: Windows Vista Business (You get it free if you're doing an engineering degree at UoB)
Monitor: 19" Widescreen TFT
Mouse: Some huge monstrosity thing which is ironically made by "chic". Comfy. It better not break like everything else.

I have a 2.1 creative system and I think it's alright. Better than the logitech speakers all my friends have on their laptops in halls.

I actually didn't assemble the thing myself, because I bought all the components from the same shop they did it for me, and I'm yet to install anything new to it, so I haven't actually seen how big it really is. I have seen pics though, and I know it's huge, and since I have a medium sized tower I'm sure that there's like 1cm spare space, just like you said.

I haven't played any games that challenge it yet. It shits all over C&C3, which is the main reason I upgraded from my tatty 2700+ and 9600 Pro. One thing that pisses me off about the new setup is that I can't play Deus Ex in Vista because it runs fine for 5 minutes then suddenly uses 1.6 Gigs of memory!

I also rami'd-out my desktop with new speakers and that swell G15 LCD Keyboard. I love this thing, it's worth it just for the media controls. I skimped on the processor a bit, but the E6600 overclocks REALLY well so hopefully I won't pay for my frugality. Considering another set of DDR2 Ram when I order a sound card and new mouse (just going to use onboard audio for now but.. it's onboard audio which isn't exactly fantastic). Of course, all these purchases have thus far made me a poor, poor man so perhaps I should hold off for the time being.

About rambus from the past, I know that the 32bit rambus went up to 1066MHZ but even that had trouble matching DDR333. The old 800MHZ rambus (PC-800) was only 15% faster than standard PC-100 SD ram way back when. Rambus ran really fast but it's search method(forgot the correct term) was really inefficient which caused it to "fall-out" from intel and DDR took its place. God I remember how expensive Rambus was and how little boost it gave over SD-ram....

All i'm gonna say is everything but the case is good, but still for 400$ that isn't so bad, pretty good spec for that kind of price actually.

Hey peeps is this pretty good?


• AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 5600+
• 3GB of DDR2 memory
• LightScribe-enabled
• 400GB hard drive
• Burns DVDs and CDs
• 15-in-1 memory card slot

This desktop features advanced NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics with TurboCache and 128MB dedicated memory, an addition to the main system memory, and 623MB total available video memory. This high-end memory is great for more demanding games or video editing.

It's $699.99 just for the tower (which is all I need) and considering the comp I have now was $1200 with everything and it sucks (256mb ram, 40gb hard drive (I added another one for music)...other shitty stuff) I think it's worth it but I could be wrong.  Oh and I'm not really a gamer.

After years of not upgrading, Neo finally has a new rig. :fogetbackflip:

Processor: Intel Q6600(quad core) @ 2.4GHz
Graphics Card: BFG 8800GT 512MB PCI-E
Memory: 2GB DDR2 800Mhz
Motherboard: Intel DG33TL(it's shit, but that's what you get when you do retailedge)
Hard Drive: Seagate 320GB SATA 7200RPM
PSU: Rosewill 550 Watt
Monitor: Acer 22" Widescreen

It's all inside a Cooler Master CM690, which is the best case for just $50.

Old Rig(just for the hell of it):
Processor: AMD 64 3400+
Graphics Card: Nvidia 6600GT AGP
Memory: 1GB DDR PC3200
Motherboard: Asus shit.
Hard Drive: 160GB ATA
PSU: 350 Watt....came with the case.

I haven't set up my new one yet, but once I do, I expect to see a huge difference.

Recently made some huge upgrades (for me anyway):

GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD2600XT AGP 256MB GDDR3 ($112.99 + s&h)

These upgrades blow my old system out of the water, by far.

Nothing has been updated besides my Videocard

Pentium 4 3.2GHz (Overclocked to 3.85GHz)
2GB of some shitty dell ram (Runs as a CAS latency of 3 IIRC)
320GB of hard drive space.
nVidia Geforce 8600 GT 256MB (Pretty shitty card. Just save up a bit more cash and buy an 8800 rated card. 8600s truly are mid end. You can play the new games on the lowest settings!

Instead of getting a new socket 754 mobo I decided to get an LGA 775, so I can make further upgrades in the future. The fanless video card works just as well as my old 6600 GT AGP, but doesn't get as hot.

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.6 GHz
Memory: 1 GB PC2-5300 (333 MHz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS3L
Video Card: GeForce 7300 GS PCI-E Fanless
Power Supply: Coolermaster 500W

New card comes tomorrow, but here's the specs:

New:
Athlon 64 6000 x2 3ghz @ 3.2
K9N4 SLI Motherboard
2gb Muskin DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 in dual channel
Gigabyte Geforce 8800 GT 256mb

Old:
(x2)eVGA 7600 GT 256
21' Viewsonic G810
Creative Audigy 2 zs
160 GB seagate SATA
160 GB western digital IDE

The video card was 200$US, the motherboard 75$, ram 30$, CPU 170$, which shows that you can get a good PC upgrade with less than 500$.
If you went with an Athlon 64 4200 x2, a non sli mobo, and a 100$ 8600 GT, you could get a midrange system upgrade for under 300$!

Heres my resulting upgrade with my existing video cards, from left to right and top to bottom:
|Athlon 64 4000 & 1gb DDR 400 with one 7600  |2915|  ...with two 7600s   |4676|
|Above set up with one 7600                         |3310|  ...with two 7600s   |5933|

Speaking of 3dmark06....
I don't really like 3dmark that much, since scores vary a lot depending on your processor. I just like what I scored here, since my old computer had a score around 1000.

My specs are a few posts up. I only spent around $600 for my brand new rig.
Crysis looks nice. =)
