My other machine, the one Im on right now, is a retail HP. AMD 3800+ dual core. I bought it the first Christmas the AMD Dual Cores were available.  When I bult the Gamer I posted above, I also upgraded this thing. I pulled the 3800 and installed a Retail Box Opteron 180 Dual Core, an ATI HD2600XT video card and a 500W Antec PSU. Runs pretty damn good. Already had 2 gig of DDR Dual channel installed. Running XP Pro, factory install |

Been a while since I've worked on it, but it's still pretty cool. My Computer  Lots of things have changed. Upped to 1 gig Rambus Ram. ATI Radeon 2600 HIS video with 512m of DDR3 Ram 2 160gb Hard drives A bit outdated by today's standards, but still runs great. Graphics on FarCry are smokin!  Oh, and I still have my original working 8088 in the basement if anyone is interested. Even upgraded from 5.25 floppies to one floppy and a 30 megabyte hard drive ($300 at the time!) |

I have the exact same case as in the OP, so no pic needed. Abit IP35 Pro motherboard Intel Core2 Duo E6850 dual-core CPU (3.0 GHz, very nice) Bigass Rosewill CPU cooler 4 GB Kingston DDR2 SDRAM (800 MHz) Four Seagate 500 GB perpendicular recording drives, 3 GHz SATA part in RAID 10, part RAID 0 The old 200 GB IBM IDE drive from my previous computer for easy access to old files, extra space FSP power supply, 700 Watts with four 12 V rails NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS video Windows Server 2003 VMWare Server 1.04 (for "throwaway" virtual servers running on the RAID 0 partition) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Microsoft Office 2007 Sony do-everything DVD drive Adaptek AHA-2940UW SCSI controller Two Princeton 19" flat-screen monitors HP keyboard, mouse, etc scrounged from work (they weren't mine, but BECAME mine) Audio patched into my old Marantz 2015 receiver from when I was in college + Bose bookshelf speakers that need new cones I built it just under a year ago and am VERY pleased with the performance and stability. I just have to vacuum out the dust and cat hair every few months when the processor starts running a little hot.
YES! The air flow is good too. |
What could you possibly game on that? |
 I don't have pics of the system I'm using. But these are the components: Dell Dimension 4500, as shipped when new (almost six years ago) it had a 2.0 GHz P4 processor, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB hard drive, and an NVidia MX420 video card. I have two of these machines. The second I picked up recently for use at work. They've both been hotrodded as far as the stock motherboard will go, except in terms of memory. Now they're both running at the limit without overclocking, 3.06 GHz, 1 GB RAM (I tried 2 GB and there really wasn't any difference I could detect), 160 GB hard drive in the home unit and a new 500 GB drive in the work unit, and NVidia 7600 AGP 8X video cards in both. They're really quite respectable for 6 year old machines. I can run Quake 4 on them just fine, at respectable detail and resolution settings. For monitors, I use the best I can get:  I use one at home, two on the work PC in a dual head configuration. The good old-fashioned CRT won't leave my desks yet! I can run any resolution I want including resolutions that'll make the most expensive LCD monitor choke and say "Sorry, I'm not worthy of QXGA!" (2048x1536). I have an old Compaq Presario 433 (486, 33 Mhz) at work that I use specifically to program some older two-way radios that require programming software that isn't able to run on Pentium or newer machines. I'm building a midrange gaming machine, too. It's based on a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (E6700) on an Intel DG965MS micro BTX motherboard with 2 GB RAM and a video card I haven't bought yet. NVidia, definitely, but will it be an 8800 or 9800? I haven't decided yet. It's being built into a brand new surplus Gateway 6-bay case with built-in media card reader and matching DVD-RW drive. Everything's a cosmetic match and the motherboard is a drop-in exact fit for this case, with all plugs to the external connectors matching right up. The board I'm using is really just an upgraded version of what Gateway used in these cases. Hard drive not selected yet but the OS will be XP X64. True 64 bit operation is a priority for this machine. CJ |
Cool, a Colonial Viper. Only the best deep space fighter ever built  ETA: where did you get the Deter cutout? I have read all the books, and I think they did a great job with the series. |
Nice! I have dual 2.5 ghz G5 5.5gb ram ATI Radeon 9600 XT graphics card PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D Maxtor 152.67 GB Internal HD Acomdata external 250 gb hd for backups Wacom Intuos 6x8 drawing tablet Viewsonic 18" monitor |
I work for a cable provider we had a bunch of them so I took one. |
Just built my budget gaming machine. Intel Core 2 Duo E6550, Gigabyte P35-DS3L motherboard, XFX Geforce 8600GT 512MB video card, 2GB RAM(going to be upgraded to 4GB before too long I think), 500GB HD, DVD+/-RW/-RAM optical drive, forgot to get a damn wifi card for it so I have to connect it to my laptop with an ethernet cable. I REALLY have to get this place wired for gigabit ethernet... Had it hooked up to a 15" LCD TV initially, went and picked up a 22" Samsung LCD. COD4 kicks ass on this thing  Not much to look at, but my last gaming PC had a window on the side and a shitload of LED's lighting up everything. Since I keep this thing in my bedroom, I wanted something not so bright this time. It's in a Thermaltake M9 case. Very quiet compared to the Pentium 4 I built before. Power supply is also a Thermaltake, a 500W I think.  I think I did this back in December, needed a DVR box for the new HDTV(a 40" Samsung. I like Samsung LCD's ). E4500 in a Gigabyte G33M-S2H motherboard, using the built-in HDMI output. Linux doesn't seem to support audio via HDMI yet, so I have the audio going through the optical port to a stereo. 500GB HD in there and 2GB RAM also. Hauppauge HVR-1800 HDTV tuner card. It's in a Cooler Master Elite 340 case. That huge honkin CPU cooler is a Ninja Mini Scythe. Barely fits inside the case, the full size model would have stuck out the side by about an inch! Haven't decided yet if I want to try one of the full size versions on the gaming rig yet.

I built it two years ago. AMD 3200+ Nvidia 6800 GS 80 gig HD SATA 2 gigs of ram. It is still plenty for web browsing, BF2, and whatever else I wanna do. New games it might run a bit choppier though. I have been feeding my gaming habit with the 360 recently though. I do have a dual 19" monitor setup though

Until it springs a fricken leak!...

Piece of advice buddy... start with the curtains...

as soon as the warranty expires I'm popping the seal and adding another stick)
