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.
I say they look more like german/caveman then asians.

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.
