lol, got cha

I had to underclock my old Acer... stupid thing kept overheating...

then it up and crapped out on me one day

I guess there was a reason Staples had it so cheap on sale


work just gave me a new Dell D630, and it's killing me to not be able to toy with it, lol. I think IT deparment might not like that... hell they questioned just why I put Irfanview on it, lol.

 

Here some pics of mine, i kinda forget the specs... but its pretty decent.

 

Very nice.
I build all of mine too, and I built this gaming rig with the latest stuff a few Christmas's ago.
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f98/...-sound-133230/

Changed a few specs, here is what it currently has.
Case - Antec 900 Gamer | PSU - Thermaltake ToughPower 650 Watt | Motherboard - Asus P5N32-E | CPU - Intel Duo Core 3.0 GHz E6850
Ram - Corsair PC-8500 2 GB | Hard drive - Seagate SATA II 320 GB | Video Card - EVGA 8800 GTS 512 MB | Soundcard - Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
Logitech Z680 Speakers | Asus MW221u 22" Widescreen | DVD/CD - Pioneer DVR-112D | Deck Legend Keyboard | Logitech G9 Mouse | XP Pro

I will probably wait a few more years to build my next gaming rig.
This one has plenty of life left in it for todays games.

 

Yeah, i just need a new cpu like i was telling super. im running a pentium 4 2.93ghz. Nothing to fancy, but i do have dual 8600gts and some other fancy features lol

 

I wish I had a comp like Super. haha.

I built mine back on 06. it was mostly middle of the line stuff.


AMD 3000+ over clocked to 2.4ghz
I forget what mobo im using.
Evga 7800gt 256mb ram.
2gbs of PC3200
120gb and 160gb SATA HDDs from western digital
550w PSU
Huge 120 copper heatsink from Zalman.
4 120mm case fans from silverstar (adjustable to sound like a jet)
Moded case to fit them, 1 at the top, 1 at the back, 2 in the window.

19'' flatscreen, 2ms responce time.

It was awesome back in 06-07. now its all full of movies and music, thanks to my neighbor for the unsecured wireless N.

 

Not too bad look'n!

but I only spy a single 8600gts you need to put some zip-ties around those wires man

I had a Zalman on my previous computer that this one replaced; definately worth every penny

nothin too special; Dual Core Pentium D 940 @ stock 3.2ghz, 4gb RAM, 2 300gb HDs, MSI 8600 GT. Just wasn't enough for me so I gave it to my sister when I built this one, and it's working fine for her


lol, oh and the "Sheet" sticker on the side, was made from a StreetGlow stick

 

yeah that was when i only ran on, now im rocking sli config!

 

that looks hawt

 

ah ok, got cha!


later on, I plan on getting a second ATI 4800 and cross-firing those bad boys

when the time comes that I need it though... my single's doing me perfectly fine for now, lol

same with the memory; I'm running 6gb right now, but later I plan on doubling that up with another 6gb to have 12gb total that's the one thing I love about a 64bit OS; you can have as much memory as you can stuff in it

 

holy crap, im only at 4gigs of mem

 

how much are one of those 6gb bad boys

 

well it's actually 3 2gb sticks, running in tripple channel. I still have 3 more slots upen that I can use

I COULD run a total of 24gb in this computer, but let's get real, I'll never use that much... hell I'll probably never use all of 12gb

but they came matched in a kit, like $150 I think... Corsair XMS3... really not as much as you would think!

 

lol imagine the people who are using 1gb of ram like me on vista.

 

you can do math?!

 

actually, I had to use the Windows handy-dandy calculator for that

 

hahaha.
