Post Your Rig

[Cheesecakenomnoms]

PCs are ones of my interests and
I am interested in what you guys play on.

My rig is:
Custom Built
Cost:$1400
Antec 902 w/ LED Side Fan and Cold Cathode lights (All Blue)
Evga x58 3x Sli Motherboard
Core i7 920 Quad Core Cpu (Running at 2.8ghz0
6g DDR3 RAM 1600mhz
GTX 280 Graphics card (Plan on running SLI when the drop in price)
Corsair 750 watt PSU
500G Western Digital Hard Drive
Some DVD drive

Descriptions are nice but pics are even better!

Man, I haven't upgraded my rig in several years.

Custom Built
Cheap case I found online (it has blue LEDs!)
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (2.0 GHz)
2 GB of RAM (DDR 3200?)
GeForce 7600 GT
80 GB primary drive; 300 GB secondary drive
Some DVD combo drive
Audigy 2 sound card

I'm thinking about picking up a video card upgrade probably in January, since I'm gonna be picking up Dragon Age and L4D2, and figure that's where the major bottleneck is (barring RAM speed and advancements in CPU tech, but either of those would require a motherboard upgrade and I might as well just gut the whole thing in that case - not that I have the funds to do so in any case).

What in the hell do you use 6 gigs of ram for? Do you do tons of video processing or 3D model rendering?

[Cheesecakenomnoms]

I get that a lot.
The story is that the ddr3 ram was on sale and it was either get 3g for 70 bucks or 6g for $100
And since I am 17 and at the time was pulling 9 hour work days. I don't have many financial responsibilities so i got 6g.

[pneuma08]

Must be nice.

Random fact: cheesecake can fit an entire single-layer DVD on his RAM, and still have enough to game.

Carbon fails at images.

Is it just me or are Carbon's jokes bad?

My Rig is a Horrible amalgamation of computer parts that I have come across over the years. My favorite is my speakers from a 1998 IBM computer. They are Altec Lansing and are ghetto-rific.

[Whatsit]

Custom Built
Antec Sonata III w/ 500w PSU
Asus P5N-E SLI mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (64bit, 2.66 GHz)
6GB RAM
Geforce 8800GT
500GB / 320GB primary/secondary HDDs
DVD Drive, Floppy drive, card reader
Vista ultimate

And yeah, it's old with only one video card. Bout my 8800GT the day they were out, which was about two weeks before nvidia decided not to make them any more. Yeah I could throw something bigger in and let it clock down, but there doesn't seem to be much point. The one card is doing me fine right now anyway.

And pneuma, if you're running Vista, you NEED 4GB+ of RAM. Upgraded from 2GB to 6GB a couple months ago, it's was like night and day.

[Cheesecakenomnoms]

Pre-ordered windows 7, coming out October somthing somthingth =)

[Number 9]

Same case and mouse as Cheesecake. Everything else is your standard 1 year old computer:
8800GT
Q6600
4gigs
WinXP

[pneuma08]

I'm running XP Pro x64. Never got into Vista.

I want to know what Vista does with all that extra memory. There's too much crap on computers these days...

[FadedOasis]

pneuma, you can disable most of the processes that take up memory. Most of it is the damned see-through window frames. Luckily, those are *very* easily disabled.

Awesome as always, church. I was wondering when you'd chime in on this thread :D

The second one reminds me of the "2 girls, 1 CPU" ctrl+alt+del comic.

Incidentally, if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about DO NOT INVESTIGATE.

[Cheesecakenomnoms]

Are the hard drives water cooled on that beast?
Sweet PCs church.
I would post pics but my camera is out of batteries.

[churchofvirus]

Haha, ctrl+alt+del is great. ;D

Only the cpu under water on either pc.

Pics when you can get them Cheese.

[Number 9]

Check out these bad boys!


And then after you're done with those, go backwards in time and check out round one.

Also, there's this one too.

[Cheesecakenomnoms]

The pictures are god damned awful, but you get the idea

[churchofvirus]
