Oh dear, mine's not exactly a RIG, it's more like.....a Geo Metro....compared to some of your gaming RIGS. Here's my wonderfully stable but rather poor graphical computer:

Dell Dimension E3100
Intel Pentium 4 HT CPU 2.80GHz
Upgraded to 2GB DDR2 RAM  ;D
80 GB Hard Drive

Soundblaster SigmaTel Audio (5.1 surround capable)

Handstands Laser Pad (Wal-Mart rules!)
Windows XP Media Center Edition


By far nothing fancy, but it gets the job done....when taxes come, I plan on getting tires for my truck, and a new PC. Then this one is going on EBAY!

512MB DDR RAM (Anyone got ~$50 so I can get a gig?)
Geforce FX 5200 (AGP 4x :P)
ASUS A7N266-VM (nForce 220)
Seagate ST3320620A (320GB?)
Seagate ST340014A (40GB?)
ASUS CRW-5224A
ASUS DRW-1608P2S

Lucent Winmodem
JASS Speakers
A4Tech (OEM, unbranded) Keyboard
Gigabyte GM-R03 (v1)
AOC LM520
XP SP2 (SP1 up until mid 2007)

Stunningly reliable system, despite the rather outdated components. I almost cried when I got my first BSoD last year.

    Video card driver: BFG/nVidia
    OS & service pack: XP Pro SP2
    DX version: 9c
    Monitor size/type/qty.: 24" LCD 1920x1200 Westinghouse L2410NM

I'll be the first to post from the Mac end of the spectrum:

Apple Mac PowerBook G4 (15")
1.33 GHz processor (from the pre- dual-core days... machine is about 3.5 years old)
512 KB L2 cache
1GB RAM
64MB ATI Rage 9600

... and some other mumbo-jumbo stuff that 'Medic can tell you about.  It gots a "on" button, a mousie-clickie thingy, and it's all silvery and stuff.  And an Apple logo that glows on the back. I also run an extra monitor (20" Dell flat screen), so usually when I'm racing I only get 32 of that 64MB from the video card.

I am just a humble man.  A simple man. I need no glowy-flashy-mouse, no illuminated cooling fans!  (Yeah, sour grapes, totally).

   ^^^^ See! It's NOT MY MACHINE!  It's MoNsTeR's!

  My machine is over THREE YEARS OLD and has a Prescott chip from the first run of them!  (Folks: That's OLD SCHOOL! It's the first hyperthreaded CPU!)

 My screen is all laggy and stuff, and I run it on the LOWEST SETTINGS!

(I'm hoping to get MoNsTeR's machine when he goes away to school!  d_b )

May I ask how much Monster's Rig cost? Aside from the monitor and accessories.

:o

That's quite the machine there Mxy/Monster!


I guess I'll be the second to post my Apple rig.  I know most of it, but had to look up some details using an app called Mactracker.  Apple has their own pages for it but I don't remember how to find them and I'm lazy.  ;D

Model: MacBook Pro, the first Apple laptop with Intel processors
2.0 GHz Core Duo (Yonah), 2 MB shared L2
667 MHz bus
2 GB SDRAM - DDR2, PC2-5300 (2 DIMMS using interleaved mode)
100 GB internal HDD @ 7200 rpm
500 GB external HDD on eSATA through an ExpressCard ... card
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, 256 MB GDDR3 (dedicated, I believe)
Built-in 15.4 inch LCD @ 1440x900
External ViewSonic VA720 LCD @ 1280x1024
External mouse Logitech (laser; wireless, not Bluetooth), no model number on it and I don't remember
External keyboard, Macally iKey (full size; I hate laptop keyboards for extended use)
Mac OS X 10.4.10 dual boot with Mac OS X 10.5.1

It's about 2 years old now (my previous one was at least 4 when I replaced it).  Incidentally, yes, I can play with the maximum graphics options on Halo. ;D

~$1200

Over half of which was spent on the graphics cards, I think?

Well, um, we got it mostly because it WAS ON SALE, and kismet (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kismet) said that he HAD to get it because of the blue LEDs! (By that point he had a thing going for the blue LEDs!  ::) :LOL: )

But we loved the specs, and the dual PCI-E connectors and AMPLE wattage, which was needed to heat up, er, run the dual BFG cards.

I'd advise getting it, either the 530W or the 630W depending on your needs.... (It's really quiet, too!)

Read review of it here. (http://www.devhardware.com/c/a/Power-Supply-Units/Raidmax-Volcano-630-Watt-Power-Supply/)

It also has very clean cables, that conform very well to almost any shape, making it extremely practical. I would recommend it.

  My machine is over THREE YEARS OLD and has a Prescott chip from the first run of them!  (Folks: That's OLD SCHOOL! It's the first hyperthreaded CPU!)

 My screen is all laggy and stuff, and I run it on the LOWEST SETTINGS!
Should have got an AMD :P
My pc's older, and I don't have to run halo at 640x680 (or whatever it is)

Although I've little doubt some things'd be better with a brand new pc.

Okay, so I might be the idiot here, but where do I find all this information for my computer? I wanna post mine :)
You know it off my heart :P

That's quite the machine there Mxy/Monster!


I guess I'll be the second to post my Apple rig.  I know most of it, but had to look up some details using an app called Mactracker.  Apple has their own pages for it but I don't remember how to find them and I'm lazy.  ;D

Model: MacBook Pro, the first Apple laptop with Intel processors
2.0 GHz Core Duo (Yonah), 2 MB shared L2
667 MHz bus
2 GB SDRAM - DDR2, PC2-5300 (2 DIMMS using interleaved mode)
100 GB internal HDD @ 7200 rpm
500 GB external HDD on eSATA through an ExpressCard ... card
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, 256 MB GDDR3 (dedicated, I believe)
Built-in 15.4 inch LCD @ 1440x900
External ViewSonic VA720 LCD @ 1280x1024
External mouse Logitech (laser; wireless, not Bluetooth), no model number on it and I don't remember
External keyboard, Macally iKey (full size; I hate laptop keyboards for extended use)
Mac OS X 10.4.10 dual boot with Mac OS X 10.5.1

It's about 2 years old now (my previous one was at least 4 when I replaced it).  Incidentally, yes, I can play with the maximum graphics options on Halo. ;D

Niiiiiccceeeee!!!!   :drool:  You and 'Medic can swap specs... he's usually on a MacBook, too.  Looks like I'm going to have to eke another year out of my machine before I can upgrade.   :'(

If I may be so nosey and ask:
Does anyone mind admitting how much $$ you've got in these rigs? I'm thinking I might drop some bucks and build me another. I've got about $500 in my current, crappy at gaming rig. Of course I have to admit, I didn't build it for gaming. Wasn't even into games at the time.

While we're at it. Lets spec out what we would like to have and proposed cost. Maybe it would be better if I changed that "we" to "you" cause I don't know what it takes to make a gaming rig, nor how much it will cost. You guys tell me what I need, I'll build it, and  then I'll get in your way on the tracks. :dance:

Fancy-shmancy case side - that will never be seen!:

(http://i25.tinypic.com/2hfnv4m.jpg)



Front, w/ door open. (Top-to-bottom: Hammer 3-sheep DVD-RW, LG all-format DVD-RW DL, removable PATA drive bay, two hot-swapable SATA drive trays. All were parted out from my previous/other systems I have.)

(http://i28.tinypic.com/jl6ird.jpg)



New rig (left, aside desk) in place.  Previous rig (inside desk computer bay.)
[Note bifold desk doors, above and below desktop.]  Doors close to completely hide everything. (See next pic to better understand....)

(http://i31.tinypic.com/208tnxs.jpg)



Mxy's Desk Of Action: Bottom-left: See old rig in compy bay? Then 48" pull-out tray 4 kybd/mouse/junk, beneath is foot bay, then some shelves to right of that, completing lower portion of desk. (And 1 pair of double-fold doors....)

Monitors: [ left] 17" Envision flat glass CRT as secondary "old rig;" [ middle] 19" Envision flat glass CRT as dual primary for both rigs (on KVM switch); [ right] another 17" Envision CRT as secondary for new rig. ['Had to get rid of one 19" for a 17" for balance....  ;) ] [more about monitor setup] (http://www.bfmracing.net/forums/index.php/topic,9512.msg106703.html#msg106703)

Remainder, top portion: Logitech 5.1 sound system, junk, and more junk, fold up light and another pair of double doors closes up all this and looks nice, clean and pretty in my office! (Me? Gaming?!?  Nahhh!  See? No computer to play anything on here in my office, right?!?  :muah: )

Your Tri monitors and what I would say OVERKILL lol

I probably should've explained the tri-monitor setup a bit more, so you get the gist of what's going on here....

To recap: The middle monitor is on a KVM switch, and acts as the PRIMARY monitor for both systems. [Call it "ON1."]  The left-hand monitor is secondary for my old system ["O2"], and the right-hand monitor is secondary for my new system ["N2"].

I can play Halo from either machine - on ON1. (COMPLETELY diff. video settings tho!!) basically game-play or the "work-at-hand" for the moment is on ON1, one way or another....

O2 usually displays any combination of a variety of other things that I might have going on at the same time.  E.g. Disk burning, remote log-in to other machines doing backups, market quotes, w/e. It is also home to my TV display which is built-in to my old system (ATI 9700 All-In-Wonder,) so I often have the "news," Letterman, or Ferguson there....

N2 usually displays Ventrilo and xfire if I'm in-game, but that's ONLY IF I'm NOT running in SLi mode (with the two cards ganged together as one, which limits me to only ON1 use in that case....)  Halo doesn't benefit from SLi at all, so I usually have those applications up on N2 when I'm racing with y'all....

So while it may look like "overkill," I had three, 21" Sony monitors on my desk throughout most of my computing career and came to make excellent use of all that landscape then, as I still seem to be able to do now!  (FYI: I also ran "virtual desktop" software on my old 3-monitor "work" system, making each monitor act as if it were NINE SCREENS, so I had 27 desktops!!!  :o  :o  So having a mere three now, is SOOO NOT overkill!  :winkgrin: )

Nice Myx and for just $870, yours beats mine as well :'( in graphics, Power supply and mobo

I got same process and twice you RAM (close enough to the same PC lol), mine cost a little over $2000 when I built it in October 2006 (I only recently upgraded the RAM though) prices have surely dropped alot since back then lol

Your Tri monitors and what I would say OVERKILL lol

I probably should've explained the tri-monitor setup a bit more, so you get the gist of what's going on here....

To recap: The middle monitor is on a KVM switch, and acts as the PRIMARY monitor for both systems. [Call it "ON1."]  The left-hand monitor is secondary for my old system ["O2"], and the right-hand monitor is secondary for my new system ["N2"].

I can play Halo from either machine - on ON1. (COMPLETELY diff. video settings tho!!) basically game-play or the "work-at-hand" for the moment is on ON1, one way or another....

O2 usually displays any combination of a variety of other things that I might have going on at the same time.  E.g. Disk burning, remote log-in to other machines doing backups, market quotes, w/e. It is also home to my TV display which is built-in to my old system (ATI 9700 All-In-Wonder,) so I often have the "news," Letterman, or Ferguson there....

N2 usually displays Ventrilo and xfire if I'm in-game, but that's ONLY IF I'm NOT running in SLi mode (with the two cards ganged together as one, which limits me to only ON1 use in that case....)  Halo doesn't benefit from SLi at all, so I usually have those applications up on N2 when I'm racing with y'all....

Oh boy, this is gonna be sad, but just for kicks here's my rig.

eMachines t2825 - circa 2003  *ducks*
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ @ ~2.1Ghz
1 GB RAM of, I dunno what
Nvidia GeForce XF 5200 w/ 256 MB (iirc)  Anyone remember AGP?
Realtek Audio built in to MOBO
2 HDDs totalling 320 GB
Win XP Home

About a year ago my southbridge fried due to the cheap PSU's they were using in these boxes, but only after about 4 years of constant, somewhat heavy useage.  Replaced with a Foxconn MOBO and a 300w Hipro PSU.  Thankfully everything else was fine and I was just able to do a straight swap-out.  It's actually been a really reliable machine other than that.  Getting ready to do a new custom build, will be my first.  I'll post when it's up and running.  My old rig will become my dedicated editing machine.  Now to figure out what to do with the third one.  Anyone need an old P3 @ 800Mhz?  *ducks*

Later

Wow.  It just keeps on getting BETTER!

I just got another after-the-fact $25 off EACH of my 9600 GT graphics cards, dropping my system total by another $50 to $820! (Numbers have been updated in my system post, too....)

It really pays to keep an eye out for price drops AFTER you've bought your components, and go back to the retailer and take them up on their price guarantees!

*edit* Note: My system cost eventually ended up at US$720!  :o  :yesyes:

Yay, my new computer parts came in today!  Got everything put together and it seems to be working just dandy.  So here's the upgraded specs.

Manufacturer:  home build 1.0
Mobo:  ASUS M2A-VM HDMI AM2 AMD 690G HDMI Micro ATX
PSU:  SeaSonic S12 II SS-380GB ATX12V 380W
Processor:  AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+, ~2.5GHz
Memory:   GeIL 2GB SDRAM DDR2 800 Dual Channel
Hard Drive: 120GB WD ATA100
Integrated Video: ATI Radeon Xpress 1250, ~700MB hypermem (don't know how)
Monitor: 17" CRT
Sound Card: Realtek HD Audio output
Keyboard: Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
Mouse: PS/2 Infrared Mouse
Operating System: Windows XP Home

Basically, it's all new except for the HDD, and thus the operating system et al.  Don't know how the onboard video is reporting 700MB of memory, specs say it's only capable of 256 shared max.  I'm not complaining, it seems to be running just fine.  Haven't yet tried some more graphically intense games than Halo.  Will likely add an SATA HDD soon, and am considering a graphics card as well.  Lower budget to fit PCI-E x16, non SLI.  Any recomendations?  Later.

1. I don't know why we have a wirless router, the only wireless device in my house is my iPod, and I got that after the router. :|

2. Yes the cables are messy. Those go up to the modem, the router, then back into the switch. It's a very interesting setup considering the internet goes to 3 bedrooms, and 2 others, then there are two more switches.

3. Yeah, I don't have a land-line phone which would be part of the setup, so I use my phone.

Also how do u play with your monitor so close, would kill your eyes in the long run (u will be far sighted by the time your 19-20 :P). I play in a window and with a 2000DPI mouse, so nice small people to shoot at with fast mouse lol

The computer stands at:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (comes up as ~2 - 2.2 GHz)
Memory: 2GB DDR PC3200 (Upped from 1 as one of the old 512MB sticks was corrupt - would be 2.5 if the mobo supported having 3 sticks... apparently it's 1, 2 or 4 only)
Mobo: NForce KN1 SLI (ECS chipset, I believe)
OS: Windows XP SP3
Graphics: ATI Radeon X1600 (256MB)
Monitor: 22" Widescreen, native resolution 1680x1050
HDD: Samsung 300GB
1 DVD reader, 1 DVD writer
Realtek sound card (built in to motherboard), with a brilliant 4-speaker + subwoofer set (originally rubbishy 2-speaker+mini woofer - would not work unless volume set to a particular level, otherwise at least one channel would cut out)
RALink wireless card

Mostly prebuilt apart from the memory which took 2 years to diagnose and replace...
And the task manager apparently didn't realise that I had a dual-core processor until the first time I reformatted the PC.

While we're on the subject (maybe a little off topic) - how do I get Halo to run in a widescreen resolution? At the moment, 1680x1050 does not appear in the list (just 1200x1600, which is unsupported by the monitor)
I think I'm using 13something x something else for Halo. It's just that using a 4:3 resolution on a 16:10 monitor causes everything to be in stretch-o-vision, and 16:9 resolutions make text input invisible and output odd.
Any ideas?

Ok... I bought this stuff so that I could play Crysis on all high settings... so it's a little excessive for Halo, but I enjoy watching the FPS go in the 500's, so I don't care that I just wasted a whole lot of money.  I still go and do Crysis MP every once in a while to remind myself that I'm pathetic at slayer, so it wasn't a total loss.

Antec 900 case, (I put sound dampening material all over the inside)
EVGA 780i motherboard
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz quad-core
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro (I can OC the processor to 4.0GHz, running under full load it goes to 42C.  I love it!)
Intel 370GB hard drive (for slow programs and word processing, etc.)
Western Digital Caviar 320GB hard drive (not all that fast, but it's plenty)
2 x MSI NVidia 8800 GTS 512MB (G92) graphics cards (which NOW WORK!!!! they didn't until yesterday!)
Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card
Antec 850Watt power supply

...And those are the main attractions.  For some reason, the NVidia drivers were faulty for the MSI type of video cards, (they are PCI-E 2.0, not regular PCI-E), so I couldn't do SLI with a 3D program for longer than 2 seconds without artifacts.  That was before their newest driver, but now the problem is fixed, so I'm happy.  However, there is one strange thing going on, still.  When I start up Crysis (it's the only game with this issue), during the logos, they play at a very slow rate, maybe 1/2 speed.  (not a big deal.)  But after installing the 1.2.1 patch (and the 1.2 before it), there was, and is, a high-pitched humming/whistling sound from inside the computer.  I'm positive that it's not from the speakers, it's from inside.  This never happened before I installed the patches, and I'm rather clueless as to how a slight program modification can make computer hardware oscillate.  Any ideas?

502 MB RAM? I'm surprised you can run things decently.

Heck, I'm surprised I can do medium settings on some games, and I have almost 1 GB on XP. (Vista == resource hog)

Wow, where to start?!?

2) Your "video card" (i.e. "integrated Graphics Adapter" [iGA]) is listed as "not supported" by MS/Bungie.

3) It's NOT POSSIBLE to have 502 MB of memory in a computer.  Nope.  No way.

1) You got Windows AND Halo installed on a 22GB HDD?!?
I'm still trying to figure it out myself personally. I try to put the least ammount of stuff on, just the essentials. I can barely, BARELY fit Itunes on here, I had to get rid of Limewire just so it fit. I can't put any movies on my Itouch because I can't download anything without going over the limit. Right now it's in reformatting so I have to put everything back on it when I finally get it back. The thing that ticks me off the most is that it has 2 hard drives, one for school, one for home use. The school side harddrive is somewhere around 40 gig I think, but I have to check on that


2) Your "video card" (i.e. "integrated Graphics Adapter" [iGA]) is listed as "not supported" by MS/Bungie.
What they don't know won't hurt them I suppose. It's amazing how a school computer can take really bad components and find a way to put it together. The good part about possibly the worst graphics out there, absolutely NO LAG


3) It's NOT POSSIBLE to have 502 MB of memory in a computer.  Nope.  No way.
Again, still trying to figure out this myself. On every site I go on it tells me I'm not supposed to be able to run anything on it, guess they need to remake that. I'm getting an extra gig worth of RAM (I think) in my computer while they are doing the reformatting for a class I'm taking, so hopefully that issue will fix itself. And yes you are right, it isn't possible to have 502 MB, I lied, it's actually 512 (I know, huge difference)


"Gimme the LEAST I need to play what I want to play ... and be happy with it!"

Story of my life, we think a lot alike I suppose. And yes you are right, I am very happy with it. It's the first computer I have ever personally own, how can I not be?

That's what I was expecting to see: 512MB of memory! (Not that it was much more, but comp. memory can only be powers of two, or combination of them....  ;D )

And yes, I've seen a lot of iGAs that play Halo just fine, esp. ones a lot more recent than ... Halo itself!  ::)  :LOL:

Yeah, Apple does allow some of that high capacity RAM and such. Pretty nice to say the least, though it is really expensive.

But either way, he is talking about hard drive space, not RAM. Even if it was possible to have 154GB of RAM, which I've never seen, never heard of, and doubt that it even exists (Other than possibly the Roadrunner system by IBM (Not sure how much RAM it has)), his computer wouldn't be able to run it.

Trust me, once you get a second monitor, you can't go back to one. (it is so helpful for things like programming)

Yea, I've always wanted to have two monitors but I don't have enough space on my desk, and I don't have a second monitor! I am looking forward to having a really kick butt computer with two monitors in college though :)

DUDE, that is a crazy case, and not only does it look cool it has some power behind it.  i would die for that case.  and as for noise, who cares.  i think it makes your computer sound more powerful if it is really loud.

Lol all those fans and not even amazing specs. LaWL wheres the Quad core at 3.5 GHz overclocked and wheres the SLi XFX nVidia 280 Gfx 1GB each<----Best ones out and most expensive 300-500$ lol 150-£250 in UK. Then theres the 1TB hard drive missing and 6gb ram :LOL: Also no overclocking or nice watercooling, its missing quite alot of good things for such a power cooling case. I am amazed that it doesn't cool the processor much at all.

Thank you!  :)  I can't take the credit for putting it together - I got the head of our IT department where I work to do all that (plus he got the parts a bit cheaper).  We worked together on choosing the parts that went into it.  Onlly thing I myself decided on was I had my heart set on the Gigabyte Aurora chassis and it cost a fair bit, had to be shipped in special, but I HAD to have it, lol.

Lawl, nice Noctua there Nemi, that working out good for you? I love the cooler, but hate the skin color of the fan, rofl.

I'll post my new rig one I get the video card back from RMA. It better be here by next week, and I'll get some pics up something after then. Totally need a non-stock CPU cooler too with this dang overclock I got.

Thank's, I love the cooler it got the Q6600 running at 35 'C without making a noise! ;D But i have to agreed about the bad colour (Performance > Looks) :P Ordered a new case + some more stuff,  so I'll post a new pic when i get the parts.

Right at the second,
-Windows Vista Home Premium
-Intel Core2 Duo 1.83GHz
-22" screen (but more likely 12)
-3GB RAM
-Oh yeah, Intel 965 integrated graphics.
...
Aye, this be my laptop for when I be at uni. Serves well for most things, but darned if it doesn't act rubbish with most games, can't even run some things with all the settings down as low as they get (See: Black & White 2 demo :P).
However, a 10-second test tells me that it copes quite nicely with Halo! Even better now that the game doesn't need the disc in to run! (So they finally put that update in, eh?)
No frills really, as I desperately need the battery life. Certainly serves. If anyone's interested, it's a Samsung Q45 (Specifically the NP-Q45A00D - there's different specs of them apparently), and with all the power saving settings on (including 25% max. processor power - don't game with that but it's fine for word processing) it'll EASILY last 4 or 5 hours.


Oh and also, hi. (Will say it "properly" later!)

Oh Hlao u still know me well and my absolute HATE FOR LIGHTS on the computer case.

My computer is at the bottom left of my bed. So flashing likes drive me mad all night since I normally download all night. I used to own this case (looks cool, but good god it was bad):

http://www.amaxpc.net/image.php?productid=16370

It had an LCD display that changed colour every 3 seconds. Try sleeping with that going off.

Flashing lights normally result me kicking the computer or manually cuting off every single useless LED.

It makes me angry because every time I open a simple program I get spammed with "No Disk" errors because EVERYTHING is apparently hard-coded to use the C:\ drive for some stupid reason.

You can say that again.

I don't think I've ever seen Windows XP install itself to a non-C: drive (except when there's a previously created partition with a Windows installation on it - which I doubt was the case with a card reader :\)

Well seeing as i only just looked at this post....
The name of the RAM is from where i purchased it from which is called "Corsair DDR3 4GB PC-12800/1600 (2x XMS3 2GB) TW3X4G1600C9D Ram"
On the side of my RAM and on the box it came in it says Corsair Dominator so i just added that in, i dunno what the difference is?

This is correct but as waty said XMS3 (Xtreme Series) are still dominators slightly but lower range and the ones people want are the Dominator GT's as they are the beasts and ridiculiously powerful and come with a air flow cooler.

Nice system.

I have 2 things I noticed. Dont get the caviar green HDD's they have rather bad read/write speeds, but they do consume less power. Have a look at some other HDD's from Western Digital

Also a UPS? Can you give me a link to a $31 UPS that can supply a computer for 3 days because that sounds a little suss. What VA (or watts) does it supply?

Also would like to add the ATi HD5850 is pretty much the same price and performance to the 285, however it has DX11 if your interested. However if your an Nvidia fan, they will be releasing their new GT300 series (Fermi) later on this month (Nov) so dont buy anything until after that date since card prices will go down because of it. Plus they might have something equal price to the 285, but DX11 and possibly better performance.
Title: Re: Your Rig (Lets see them!)
Post by: McSkittles on November 03, 2009, 08:05:07 AM
How bout a Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB? I've heard they work quite well. Only other WD I could find that was 1TB and was of good quality is the Caviar Black, and their all of out it :doh:

The shipping is basically the standard shipping of Newegg :P(but as you can see it went to $54 instead of $31 when I changed the HD :XD:)

And I originally planned on an ATI 5850, but didn't the 285 beat it in the benchmarks? Or were they about equal? Although I do like the DX11 feature of the 5850. But this card is overclocked as well, which means its going to cost more and will have slightly better benchmarks ;D

Here are the overclocked stats on it:

Core Clock: 675MHz ( v.s. 648 standard)
Shader Clock: 1548MHz ( v.s. 1476 standard)

Memory Clock: 2538MHz (v.s. 2484 standard)

Although I COULD buy a standard 285 and OC it myself, I'd rather just buy it OC'd already(I'm quite good at OCing, at least with processors, but I'm a bit shady on video cards :haw:)

Title: Re: Your Rig (Lets see them!)
Post by: fLipSIDe on November 03, 2009, 09:26:11 AM
Definately stick with the 260, 275, 285 or 295 as they are much more powerful eventhough, the new ATi's have DX11 and on benchmarks the fps is basically double especially on the 295 :XD:

Also if you're going for that price of build dont go for a AMD or Intel Quad go to the i7 because in testings the 2 most powerful Quads for AMD and Intel were against just a standard i7 920 and from that the Quads gave out 4000 processes with all 4 cores running maximum output whereas, the i7 gave out a massive 8000 so thats double the power and more amazingly it was only using 2 of the 4 cores. :drool: P.s i7 is rated much easier to OC too :clint:

Post by: McSkittles on November 03, 2009, 06:55:17 PM
Especially with an O.C.'d 285 ;D

i7 fan eh? Well obviously your forgetting that most of the Phenom II's are running dual channel DDR2, whereas the i7's are running on triple channel DDR3, so of COURSE they are going to have better stats on the tests. The AMD, while a little bit older, still has a very good price v.s. performance ratio, and doesn't cost an arm and half a kidney :winkgrin:.

The AMD is also quite easy to O.C., and keeps pretty cool, even when clocked up to 4.0. Although any higher and you should probably get water cooling, but that's pretty much the requirement for any highly O.C.'d processor.

Lol here in UK in Currys you can get a 42inch Panasonic on sale for just under £400 so thats $300 or less :LOL: p.s got a 38inch ;D and pioneer (Top of the range)

£400 in USD is $594.24 :winkgrin:

Most 30"+ monitors here in the US are going to cost around $500-$600 minimum, unless you find a really good sale. Plus, like I said before, its overkill. Unless its going to double as a TV, then its unecessary and a waste of money. I'm planning on going with something in the 20"-24", which is reasonable. :keke:

Benny I think you have a good system. Especially with the 64 bit OS & 4 Gigs of RAM. I have all I bought posted not to have a better than yours attitude. Everyone that has been in BFM for at least 3 years has heard me complain about what I was running. IT got me by but barely. I would have been plenty happy to have had what you are running right now. I was finally blessed to be able to do something about it and Newegg.com & Best Buy had everything I wanted plus. And at a super great price for what I was able to afford.

I think your system for playing HALO will last you a long time to come my friend.  BFM ROX !!!!!!!!!

Well your either a forum troll and/or know nothing about computers, but considering you have said best and extreme you are trying to impress. SOOOO we need proof of this awesome computer.

Download CPUZ from here: http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz/cpuz_154_setup.exe

Once you have install it, open it and make a print screen of the CPU and Memory tabs

Download GPUz from here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1788e/GPU-Z.0.4.2.exe

Once you have downloaded it just open it and take a print screen

Put your print screens on photobucket (or whatever imaging hosting site you use) and post them up to validate your "awesome" computer.

Example (my computer):

That link is for a solid state drive which is basically a hard drive not RAM. That article was made in 2004 :P There are alot bigger SSD out now not to mention you can connect up multiple SSDs in a RAID array.

Yeah it can exist though will be very expensive and def not for the average consumer. You can create a virtual RAM disk with your normal RAM, but obviously will be no where near 2TB. Solid state drives are becoming the new high end stuff. PCie x16 SSD arrays can achieve insane speeds. While the latest SATA sandforce chipset SSDs can get to 285MB/s read, 275MB/s write.

Wow, that's nice I think my next PC will be 2 or 3 TiB SSD, and yeah if it exist why that guy need a large capacity of RAM for? does his home run a bunch of servers?

When I ment it exists and expensive I ment in the order of maybe $100,000+ for a 1-2TB RAM disk. Anyway for 2-3TB of SSD it would cost about $6500-9500 (for 256GB cheap SSDs it is around $800).

Most people that want high end computers get like a 64GB or 100GB SSD for about $400-500 then they get a 1TB-1.5TB normal HDD for 150-200ish as a secondary drive for large files/data. And just have windows and games on the SSD.

Anyway I am basically saying it is impossible for him to have anything more then 24GB of RAM in a computer. Also it is impossible to have 6 x Core i7 CPU's (unless he ment to say he has the $1400 6 core Core i7 980X). It however impossible to have 12x Core 2 laptop cpus in a laptop. Highest is a quad core.

Considering he doesnt even know how to spell Nvidia or even how to just google his word for the right spelling and he has used words such a best nvidia and extreme cpu's means he both doesnt know much about computers and says he has an awesome one. So best way to know for sure if he posts up some screenshot proofs :)

nvididea best graphics card(nvr checked the model just bought it)
and now my good rig
alienware sometin or other laptop
12 intel core2 extreme proceeser chips
3 terrabytes of memory
and best nvidea card

any ways how do u spell nvidea?

Well your either a forum troll and/or know nothing about computers, but considering you have said best and extreme you are trying to impress. SOOOO we need proof of this awesome computer.

Download CPUZ from here: http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz/cpuz_154_setup.exe

Once you have install it, open it and make a print screen of the CPU and Memory tabs

Download GPUz from here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1788e/GPU-Z.0.4.2.exe

Once you have downloaded it just open it and take a print screen

Put your print screens on photobucket (or whatever imaging hosting site you use) and post them up to validate your "awesome" computer.

Example (my computer):

No we knew you lied and were a forum troll hence why we wanted proof.

I will believe you have a Nvidia 240, however I dont believe you have a Intel Core i7 980X with it. Why would you have a fairly low end graphics card with Intel's current flagship $1400 hexcore. Please download CPUZ and post up screenshot using your photobucket or other account that clearly shows it is your image account (e.g. an account with TraelBlazr in it).

Just upgraded today from a 5600+, runs so much smoother, recording full screen high settings isn't a problem on most games.

I do intend to OC my 1090 to 4GHz, no idea how to go about it though, tried through BIOS multipler 20x and stock other thing which is 200MHz like I watched on a YT vid and then I run Prime95 and my PC restarts itself after 30 secs? But yeah, just testing things atm, not really tried seriously. Some tips would be good though Taipan :P

Hehehe. 6GB RAM uses though it pretty insane. My graphic card only has 1GB memory per GPU (2GB total). So I guess it started using normal RAM. Next card I will look for some more memory.

yeh 7.0 isnt bad however compareing that to my old phenom ii x3 unlocked to  x4 that gets a score of 6.6 thats only 0.4 of an improvment not alot when you see it that way.

yep the AMD 970 is way more powerfull and the reson for this is the i7 950 is only a 4 core prossesor but it has 4 vurtial cores ( not pysical ones ) now in theory you would think this more powerfull however all i7 cpu,s are throtled back so they can have the so called turbo boost feature that for a short time runs the chip at is full potential but for 95% of the time its running at the lower speed and its not even something you can disable were as the AMD 970 runs at its top speed at all times granted amd have coolnquiet but you can disable that in the bios

The "Turboboost" is a great feature. It may seem counter-productive to have the chip underclocked on a daily basis, but it easily (and without any user input) ramps up to full power when it is required.

Think of it as saving energy while not really having an affect on the user.




And ye, I haven't OC'd it. I've yet to find a good guide and I'm somewhat afraid of trying it out. Don't want a hunk of molten metal sitting in my case :P

I'd have to say that most of these systems probably run Halo PC pretty well =]

I need to get a new PC to run Diablo III, but it's so expensive.  D=

I'd build it myself from individual parts, but it's still expensive if I get something that's going to last me as long as this PC has.

FYI - something I've said here before but can no longer find:

If you keep and use the same computer for three years, you've gotten your money back out of it.  (I.e. It's depreciated to zero.)  Every DAY you use it beyond that you're "making money" off of it.

I usually build myself a new machine every four or five years.

Note: This all depends on whether I see a PC "sweet spot" is coming up.  That's when I see any two of mobos/GAs/CPUs a good step up, but now "commoditized" and two new developments in general technology - usu [disk/storage] device speeds and PCI-E. Then I design and build a machine that's basically "one step BELOW" the latest and greatest of everything.  hence I usually get all my components on sale/clearance and can build a pretty beefy - albeit "just-out-of-date," cutting-edge-wise machine. see here (http://www.bfmracing.net/forums/index.php/topic,9512.msg105433.html#msg105433) for latest example.

FYI: I've just recently begun looking/considering my next machine, since USB 3.0 is now commodity and I've seen this mobo (http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=j02KziJq95KbCQNm), although it will likely NOT be the mobo that I end up choosing, it has the advanced feature set that raises the first flag for "it's time to start looking around" for me now.

I'll post a pic up when I'm done putting it all together!  (A couple items are still being shipped)

How much did it cost all together? And could the Rig run Crysis 2 on Hardcore Graphics?

I want to build a Computer that can :)

BTW: What type of cooling does it have?
Title: Re: Your Rig (Lets see them!)
Post by: Lucky on April 08, 2011, 12:48:55 PM
All the new parts put together cost about $1,000.00 USD.  Some of the parts (like mouse, keyboard, headset, sound card) I already had don't factor in to the build.

I doubt it could run Crysis 2 on Hardcore :P  It would need a more beefy video card.  But if it had an NVidia 570 (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-PCI-Express-Graphics-Lifetime-012-P3-1570-AR/dp/B004EHZD5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302292214&sr=8-1) or something around that (or higher of course) it could probably handle it.

As like you, I once had A gaming mouse..some Razer thing...I think I through it away after...3 months? It felt like trying to grip a rectangular brick to hold, and moving it was worse...Still..the 3000...most reliable and comfortable ever held in my hands...ever...And can you even run C2 on High?

Ughhh.  My power supply got delayed for over a week because they ran out of stock RIGHT before I ordered.  However all my other parts are here :D

Update:  I decided not to use the sound card because I don't have a good set of speakers and I rarely use speakers anyway.  (Thanks for the advice Bru!)  Even though I didn't buy it new (I took it out of another computer in the house).

Ok I decided to post the specs of all the random PC's I've built but never needed to use(They're from old random parts from scrapped computers.) And my Laptop's specs.

PC:1CPU:Pentium 4 HT 3.06GHz
RAM:2gigs
GPU:Geforce 8800GT(I would put this card in my main PC but I only have a MicroATX slim tower case..whereas I'd need a Mid Tower+...)
HDD:80GB something...
OS:TinyXP

PC:2
CPU:Sempron 2800 2.0GHz
RAM:512mb
GPU:Ati Radeon x1300(My old card from main PC)
HDD:60GB
OS:Ubuntu Linux

PC:3-6(Servers)
CPU:Intel Pentium 3 1.0GHz
RAM:512MB
GPU:4mb Board Integrated(limited to 640x480 res...k-switched for all on 1 monitor)
HDD:10GB
OS:XP HP SP2

Laptop(Tis fairly new)

and I'm getting 2 random computers from my grandparents this weekend, random as in I know they work, but never used them, and don't know the specs..
Title: Re: Your Rig (Lets see them!)
Post by: Lº§tMyMiNÐ on May 11, 2011, 02:46:47 PM
L°§tMyMiNÐ here.

I don't know whether or not to be ashamed of these specs, but at least these machines can run Halo good. Soon as I get some real cash, I'll upgrade one or both of them with superior specs, but for now, they're what I've got.

Okay, without any further ado, here's my specs:

Computer #1

Computer Type: Desktop
Make and Model: Compaq-Presario SR5010NX (retrieved from the Compaq support site)
Operating System: Windows XP Professional w/Service Pack 3
CPU: Intel Celeron D (single core) 3.47 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 7100 GS, 1GB (possibly hindered by weak power core)
DirectX Version: 9
RAM: 2GB
Hard Drive: 110 GB, est.
Monitor: One CRT
Current Resolution: 1280x800

[Originally a Windows Vista machine until the hard drive got wiped, then I had Windows XP put on it, because I liked that OS better, due to superior compatibility with my programs, games, etc.]

Computer #2:

Computer Type: Laptop
Make and Model: Toshiba Satellite A205
Operating System: Windows Vista
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2370, 1.73 GHz
GPU: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family (Integrated), 251 MB (approx.)
DirectX Version: 10
RAM: 0.99 GB (1014MB)
Hard Drive: 149 GB
Monitor: LCD
Current Resolution: 1280x800

[The drastically inferior machine, but it still runs Halo at a decent framerate when optimized]

Anyway, there's my specs.

Lucky,if I remember right, had an ATI Radeon HD 4670 1gig card, whereas I have the 4650, essentially the same card with a lower memory and core clock rate. They aren't all that powerful cards panther, so just stick with something else, if you go with ATI/AMD cards get the 48**/58**/68** series cards or higher. And Nvidia-wise, go GTX460SE or higher, but to add, the 560's have been going cheap lately and their quite powerful.

Well, since my previously-stellar rig (http://www.bfmracing.net/forums/index.php/topic,9512.msg105433.html#msg105433) had a mobo death, I took the opportunity to upgrade. (Heh, no one even makes those 3-year-old types of mobo any more!  No one even STOCKS THEM!)

First time I've ever had a machine that didn't last at least five years....  :'(

Here are my upgrades:

Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD80 (B3) [$185]
CPU: Intel C15 2500K (3.3GHz, LGA1155, 6MB cache) [$149]
CPU Fan: ThermalTake Frio (only using 1 of 2 fans, the exhaust fan) [$50]
Memory: Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600 (two 4 GB sticks) [$75]


...So I just got myself a "new computer" for $359.... (And MAN does it run QUIET and COOL AS A CUCUMBER!  OC here I come!)


I'll probably get a SATA III HDD or an SDD to use as my main (OS) drive sometime mid-late next year now.


And I guess I'll start looking at updating my graphics cards in a couple of years....  (I hate doing it piecemeal tho!  :-\ )

No pix: All you can see in the case is the HUGE CPU FAN!  :siderofl:

Thx, but nah - my SLI'd dual 9600GT OCs have a good ~2 years left before they're pushed past the limits of what's out and what will be out during that time frame.


However, if Skyrim doesn't look absolutely gorgeous and play well I may be back in the market!

This thing flies. The GPU's work together somehow, not sure how its done tbh.
CoD4 maxxed 1600x900 just amazing. MC just amazing. TheHunter plays maxxed flawlessly. I just love this thing.

Title: Re: Your Rig (Lets see them!)
Post by: ËQINÖX on November 16, 2011, 10:20:59 AM
That looks like a nice rig however a few things would concern me.

Primarily the  Lowcapacity  SSD at only 60gig you wont beable to do much with it at all as windows will eat around 20gig leaveing 40gig and by the time you install other suporting programs you will only beable to install maby 1 perhaps 2 games if your lucky. You could  install a standard HDD and install the rest of your games to this but doing so would negate the point of haveing a SSD drive in the first place. The other problem with low capacity SSD drives is that they have a very low operational life becuse all SSD use write leveling.  This is were the data is always writen to random parts of the SSD thus proventing nand cells getting warn out to quickly and the drive failing befor its time.  But on a low capacity drive if you fill it up and have very limited space  then the drives firmware will be forced to use what little space is left  for its write leveling proces and it will use this little area over and over and thus this little area will ware out rapidly and eventualy fail causing you to loose data / crash / fail to boot.
(As a side note Do not defrag your SSD)

Secondly The Usb Wirless Adapter Isnt gameing spec its great for simple online tasks  tho.  I had one simular and i receved nothing  but extra lag becuse of its low end design upgradeing this i would concider as a prority  if you want to have any level of online gameing  performance.

Thirdly The motherboard well you cant fault it it is a very good motherboard  the only thing you can faul is the price becuse quite simply uoi could have got a gigabyte equivilant for alot cheaper and it would perform just as good and you could have then used the extra cash to buy a larger capacity SSD

Rig has arrived and is built

Some of the issues you said equinox I am trying to deal with, specially the memory one. I should be able to get around it. It has a 2tb storage hard drive but accsesing it is a pain for some reason. as for price they are a bit different in Australia. And I need a wireless adapter or its nothing, I have no landline in this room.  anyway here are the pics. Bad phone camera but what are ya gonna do

With Southern Islands and Kepler just around the corner it is probably not a smart idea to upgrade any graphics cards until then unless obcourse you don't care about money :)

Also since all games are just console ports these days you only need to buy a card that can play everything now and it will still play anything until 2014-2015 when the next generations of consoles are released.

It's a shame that everything is all console now a days.

Possibly buying an i5 2500 in the next day or so, depending if I can get my paycheck before the Amazon sale on it ends.
Getting in contact with a guy for a GTX 295, so I'll try to score that too.

You should've seen that coming when you think about it, because:

1) It gave the computer/OS makers TOTAL control over the hardware with the ability to be COMPLETELY custom and therefore "closed" to everyone else, and

2) It therefore also gave them total control over the software distribution as well as multi-player "services" WHICH THEY COULD SELL FOREVER AS SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES.


What business would NOT want an environment of total control over the hardware, software, and distribution - and therefore pricing! - FOR THE REST OF THE PRODUCT-LINE'S LIFETIME?!?

The only saving grace to sole total domination by one manufacturer is the fact that there's a somewhat competitive market due to the three(+) players in game. (Pardon the pun!  ;D )


No other business has ever had such TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE PRODUCT, ITS DISTRIBUTION AND USE SO NAILED! (No other business except illegal drugs, maybe?  ::)  :o )


Go ahead.  Ask me how I feel about the gaming console business!  :winkgrin:

This is true and yet at the same time not true.  Yes games are now primarily developed for consoles but when they adapt them for PC use they may look the same asfar as game play goes but as far as textures / resolition / graphical detail the PC versions are totaly diforant from there console counterparts and as such require more powerfull hardware than a gameing console. For example in a PC version of crysis 2 it uses compleatly diforant textures that run at a higher resolution offering greater realism / lighting efects are also enhanced / explosion damage and flying debrie is inhanced as as intended / water detail is greater / Pc version also have  greater enviromental props like cars / neon add boards and many morethings.

Where as console versions have low quality textures that offer almost lifelike textures / lighting efect is redused  / explosion damage is redused and flying debrie is reduced massivly / water detail is redused / and some props like cars , neon signs even helocopter fly bys are removed.

Have a look at the vid and you will see what i meen tho its not as good as it  realy looks becuse its only 720p. Its PC v 360 and you may ask why 360 anf not ps3? well fact is ps3 despite its claim to be the moast powerfull gameing system its games still only run at 720p were as 360 games consistantly run at 1080p.

I just wish I could plug in my Xbox 360 controller into a PS3.  Old consoles (like "Atari 2600" old) could do that :P

consoles are a good and bad thing. it offers people who do not have as much money a way to play many games. however look at exclusives for PC in 2011. there were barley any that wernt console ports. RTS and MMO's are some of the few things that consoles cant release properly. Consoles are in a way holding the industry back, because PC's are far more powerfull and could potentially handle bigger better games, which companys are not making because console ports would be impossible without gutting the game. And there is to much money to be made that way. I do use my nintendo as its releases are only for it, but there are literally no games I want on 360 or PS3 that I cant get to work better AND buy cheaper for my PC. To many other people cant afford a PC and so consoles hold back everything else.

Thats my view on it all anyway.

Also anyone have any recommendations for a gaming Keyboard?

I recommend you try and get your hands on one to test it if you can. Some people have strong preferences for mechanical/non mechanical keys and other factors. I still love the original G15 by Logitech. Now I use a G110 which reminds me a lot of it. I like it a lot and it does what I need to. If you have friends that are into gaming have a go at using their keyboards and see. :)

I was talking about the 3rd pic haha. Zip ties are an amazing thing to use, plus try to keep every single wire you can routed behind the motherboard tray, then instead of messing with airflow or causing issues when you try to change stuff out, they'll sit nicely behind there. But I do see you have quite a few running back there.

So unfortunately my power supply decided it would die. Apparently the fan stopped spinning and it overheated making a nice thunk noise in the process. Typing from it now but I am sort of passively cooling it from the outside. It also seems to have damaged my motherboard which keeps producing a few errors on start up. I just picked up the parts for my new computer :)

Case: Fractal Design R3
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
CPU: Intel 3750k (will overclock)
RAM: G-Skill 2x8GB 1600MHz Ares Low Profile
PSU: Seasonic X-560
SSD: Intel 520 240GB
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 260 Core 216 Edition (recycled from old build, will probably overclock now)
CPU Heatsink/Fan: Thermalright Silver Arrow

The remaining (functional) pieces of the old build I am giving to Dad to power his observatory system... I think my Q660 and 4GB or RAM will be quite an upgrade from his old pentium!

Note that my main storage is on a 4-Bay QNAP NAS so the SSD is only to run the core of my system. All my music and documents are stored and accessed directly from my NAS.

I love my Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse, which I got about 5 years ago for £10  :LOL: but I find it so comfortable. My little finger has worn away some plastic on it from driving hogs  ::)

Yeah it's a Gigabyte SKT-1155 Z77X-UP5 Thunderbolt MB. I spent a LONG time finding the best deals for my parts. My motherboard was half the price it normally should be due to an amazon glitch where they thought they were selling the UP4 =P The case I also got at the lowest price it's ever been in the UK. I'm a bit of a fiend for deals! Just saving up for a thunderbolt display now to finish the rig.

Apart from perhaps some cool drive bay mods, I can't think of anything else I want to add now. I'll probably SLI it when a single overclocked 660Ti can no longer handle the games being released, but I think I'm good for a year or two with graphics. I'm not fussed about LEDs or other lightning as no one ever sees it but me and my partner and she doesnt give a monkeys xD I just know I wanted a white case due to fairly restricted light in our flat - London is a squash!

Finally got round to upgrading my PC granted its not top of the range but its way better than what i had.

CPU:  AMD FX6100 Black Edition 6 Core 3.3GHZ
CPU Cooler: Zillman CNPS9900NT (From my old build but its so good i decided to reuse it)
Mobo: ASUS M5A78L-M USB3
Ram: 8GB total - 2 sticks of 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 at 1.5v
Hard Drive: Gskill Phoenix PRO 120GB SSD
Sound Card: Creative BlasterX-Fi Xtreme Audio ( Card from my old build but is still better than the rubbish Via one on the mobo )
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX550Ti 1GB ( A little disappointed with its performance boost when compared to my old GTX 260)
Power Supply: iCute 600 Modular Gamer Edition
Case: iCute ( This is my old case that i repainted to the colors I wanted with a few other cosmetic modifications

Over all i'm pretty pleased with the  build and i can now run all my games including crysis 2 at there max yet to see how it handles newer games. The only let down is the GTX550Ti as it only moves up 2 points to 7.4 on the windows index compared to the GTX 260 at 7.2 and isn't much better on the bench marks so might upgrade this at some point depending how it stands up to the new games.  The CPU also runs at a cool 25c at idle and 31c under gaming load so I might overclock this at a later date as i have seen these chips go over 4GHz and be stable and my cooler should be able to handle it as right now its hardly doing any work.

I've just performed an upgrade of my own. I built a new computer last year but recycled the old GTX 260 Core 216. Given the graphics card is now around 5 years old I decided to take advantage in the clearance sales of the old cards.

Case: Fractial Design R3 Titanium
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z77-UD3
CPU: Intel i5 3570k @ 4GHz
GPU: Asus GTX670 Direct CU II 4GB
RAM: G.Skill Ares 1600MHz 2x8GB
PSU: Seasonic X560 Gold
SSD: Intel 520 240GB
Speakers: Swan M50W

Why 4GB on the graphics card? Because when they were clearing the model it cost only $4 more than the 2GB model of the same card... so why not? (I do run dual monitors)
I might post some pictures... once I clean my office up a little. It hasn't received its clean since I got out of exam mode. Bad Exodus.

Its been a few years since I posted my big Gigabyte rig, so I was due for an updated system.  Picked it up today.  It was custom built by the guys at NCIX.

In fact, I bought two of them... my youngest son badly needed one two and it was easier to just say "I'll take two of those" and have them put orange lights in one (his) and blue in the other (mine).

Wow Nice rig Wic and even better looking desk setup :P.

I haven't upgraded my rig since 2009 except for 24GB 1600Mhz RAM. It is in need since I have noticed sub 30FPS in some games recently.

I did however recently buy a new gaming laptop since I seem to be doing a lot of moving around to places, so be wiser to invest in a laptop rather then haul my 20kg tank of a case around. I waited until after the new generation consoles were released so I was 100% certain it would be more powerful than a PS4 so it would future proof games atleast for the next 6 years since all triple-A titles are almost always console ports.

I also go traveling a fair bit and go SCUBA diving a lot. So having a laptop to travel with that was powerful enough to encode and sort gopro footage was a key issue as well (powerful but light)

Laptop from MALIBAL

Laptop: Lotus P150SM
Screen: 15.6 inch FHD Matte Display - 15inch since I wanted to keep the weight about 3KG and smallerish size so it's easier to travel with
CPU: Core i7 4900MQ 8MB L3 Cache 2.8-3.8Ghz
Memory: 32GB PC3-12800 1600Mhz DDR3 - 4xSO-DIMM
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5
Storage: 512GB Samsung 840Pro SATA III 6GB/s SSD
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Extra displays: Dell Ultrasharp U2410 + BenQ XL2411TE

I have a theatre room where I sometimes hook the laptop up to an EPSON TW9200 projector + Bose Lifestyle 535 system and sit in a beanbag with the keyboard on my lap and a little stool thing for the mouse for some pretty fun gaming hehe. Still need to get the carpet laid and room painted so I will take a photo of it and post it here when it is complete.

Nice blue water cooling loop. I have given up with full loops because draining them whenever I want to change something was very painful

You sound like an old man, Taipan.  I drain full loops for the fun of it. I have a water cooling loop just sitting on the desk, not even attached to anything. Drained twice today. Loved it.

I am getting older now. Seems like forever when BFM was a big part of my life :P.

I still hate LED's on computers. I even tape any lights so I cant see them and haven't plugged in the Power LED pins. Prefer my PC a silent box

Notes:
  • This PC has 2 main purposes. First is a gaming machine and second is a virtual machine host. I can create multiple VM's for network protocol and application testing which I can allocate 4-8 threads each and 3-4GB memory, hence the 16 core CPU instead one better for just gaming.
  • My CPU I can OC all cores to 3.9GHz before thermals get to ~75-80C under Prime95, however I leave it with just XFR enabled because that automatically overclocks the first 4 cores to 4.2GHz, which is better for just gaming.
  • My 3TB is disconnected because when I bought my Mobo I thought it would have 8 SATA ports and it only had 6 -__-. Need a PCie SATA Card.
  • Next upgrades are the monitors. I am waiting for the Acer Predator X27 to be release early next year :). The other upgrade planning is the primary SSD which I am looking at the Samsung 960 PRO M.2 drives

That looks like a pretty good PC and I must say I was tempted by the Threadripper but then i relised just gaming on it would be a waste lol.

As for the water loop its not really hard to drain and i thought of that when building it as the Mayhems pastel coolent is recomended to be replaced at around 6 months,  to make it easier to fill and bleed I have a fill port that goes through the top of the case and as you can see in the pic I have a drain tube at the very bottom of the loop that goes to the basment of the case that has a tap on it, So if i want to drain it i just take of the back panel lossen the fill port at the top then open the tap at the drain tube and it drains the system with no mess in a few seconds.
