Curse

Just half-upgraded my computer, still awaiting the funds for a better card and more hd space. Yay for 8800's recent price dropping!

New specs:
Intel Quad Q6600 @ 3.00 (AC Freezer 7, Idle 24c / Load 41c)
4gb Corsair DDR2 800
250gb Seagate
ATI X850 XT (upgrading to 8800 gt soon)
22" Chimei
...and some other stuff that makes everything else work (too plain / obvious to list)

GW has never been better!

Guild Wars was the first game I played on this rig when I built it:

BIOSTAR TForce4SLI NF4SLI 939
VGA SPPHIRE A X850 XT 256M 100106RD
2G CORSAIR D400
250G WD 7200 SATA2 16MB WD2500KS
ANTEC P180 SILVER CASE
OCZ 520W PSU
MS WINDOWS XP PRO X64
AMD 64 |3700+ ATHLON 64 939P
SOUND BLASTER|AUDIGY 2 ZS
LOGITECH|CORDLESS DSKTP S 510
DVD BURNER LITEON|SHW160P6S04 BK R
CREATIVE Inspire P7800 7.1

It's over two years old now, but it still runs new games without any trouble. Which is good because I just bought a house and can't afford to be throwing money away on computer parts

How much, in quantifiable terms, do you love Pepsi?

My 22 inch is coming so I'll re-post my system which is now in my office (long story).

Most likely gonna try to get a better picture of it this time though, and not with a broken Camera.

wow, awesome, what graphic cards are that?

Why_Me · Apr 20, 2008, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Is it just me or is that an enormous power supply?

Admael · Apr 20, 2008, 10:37 PM // 22:37

The power supply looks pretty normal to me, maybe the rest of the case is small, that's why.

I've never seen anyone sit two DIMMs like that.

I thought the same, doesn't look like it's capable of fitting normally into a standard box. Why on earth they would make a power supply that big, beats me.

I'm still trying to get pictures of my computer, looks a bit nicer in here. Just can't get the stupid camera working how I want it too, and I'd rather not take the pictures at night, but oh well.

I'm guessing Serafita is blinging a mATX...

The black one is a dell xps 710hc - The silver one is a self build 3ghz (my old one)

hmmmmmm, i can't see your soundcard

your wires are all of the place lol, looks like my machine xD

Lord Sojar · Apr 21, 2008, 12:46 PM // 12:46

Shame on all of you for having the sides of your PCs open. That ruins air current inside, and creates stagnant pockets of hot air. Put the sides back on your cases and get high quality fans, positioned correctly. Shame shame shame!

Brianna · Apr 21, 2008, 05:19 PM // 17:19

I took the sides off so you can see the inside, otherwise they are always on.

Also I'm cheap and use onboard sound, and my main PC has a micro ATX motherboard for now so I'm short on PCI slots, it's like half a motherboard -.-. I'll get a new one soon though.

And those fans are the Antec 3 speed, they are pretty high quality/fast, but I keep them on medium right now cause they are too loud on high, can hear my computer when it's this close on my desk.

I was going to say! Where's the rest of your motherboard xD
For 120mm case fans, I'd only buy Zalman (moves the most air) or Yate Loon (best price, but doesn't move as much air).

If you decide to keep that board, you could buy the Antec 180B Mini case, it's a cute case, my choice for a microATX chassis
