Ok so here's my rig finally, nothing special.

Desktop:

Side view:

Front view:

Top/Front View:

In the dark:


*AMD Athlon 64 6000+ w/ Thermaltake Mini Typhoon heatsink.

*320MB 8800GTS (Soon to be G92 512 GTS)

*Seagate 7200rpm 320gig Hard Drive

*ECS GeForce 7050M-M Motherboard (Crap I know)

*2GB of Kingston Hyper-X Gaming Ram.

*Antec 500w power supply

And a Lian Li PC-7B Plus II w/ black finish.

Gets the job done for me, I know the blue lights may be cheesy or whatever, but they were the only 3 speed ones (Change speeds with a switch!) that the store had, so I didn't hesitate.

I also seriously need a new desk, but I'm moving soon so that is all about to change.

We have almost the exact comp specs except the motherboard & power supply. Mine is Asus M2N-SLi deluxe and Thermaltake 700w. Oh, the case is different too lol. My case looks like a bimmer. I'll take a pic of it.

I'll post my laptop pretty soon here, and maybe a few other PC's around the house, but mainly the laptop.

I have the same speakers are you. The bass rocks considering how much I paid for them (4 bucks because they were discontinued by Creative).



Look ma, no wires!

Well, I love my 2007 version Logitech G5, best mouse I've ever put my hand on.

The laptop is using a crappy Microsoft notebook mouse.. cause the other logitech wireless mouses went through some.. incidents and don't work now.

The two buttons under the scroll wheel of the G5 adjust sensitivity?

Yeah but I never use that, I just leave it on medium and its perfect (after some system adjustments, didn't leave it at default).

  • 2GB DDR2-800

Laptop: HP Pavilion dv9720us

specs:

Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
RAM: 1983 MB
Hard Drive: 160 GB
Video Card: nVivia GeForce Go 7150M (its integrated I know, but runs Guild Wars on high graphic settings just fine)
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Sound: Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221

Nothing at all special...but its what fit into my price range, and it runs all my games just fine, and even on high graphic settings. So eventually I'll get a good gaming computer....eventually.

Edit: And to prove it runs GW just fine: (I kinda took the screenshot when the animated green bar wasn't up at the top but you can see that that's where my computer is on the scale.)

I finally threw some LC on it. It looks a lot messier if you ask me :<
Compare it with my high end air post (on this same page, scroll up)

It looks nicely done though, was probably a pain in the butt to set up that stuff though, removing and dismembering all your parts.

So did you overclock massively since you got that now?

How are the temperatures compared to your other setup?

I'd love water cooling, but it'd have no use to me other than looking neat and keeping the PC cool when it's not really needed.
