What we roll into battle with (Computer rigs)

[ThirdSin]

I'm setting this up so people can post pics, specs of their machines. Large or small, put'm on here!

[ThirdSin]

My Case and mobo, i'll add a pic of it all together later on...




-Core 2 Duo 6600
-Asus P5k Deluxe LGA775 P35
-2GB Corsair DDR2 PC6400 RAM
-3x SATA 250GB Seagate 7200RPM 16M Cache in Raid 5 Array
-EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB
-Antec Smartpower 500W w/modular cabling
-DVD/RW
-Vista Ultimate, running x64

At the time(7-14-07), this plus a couple other things like cabling and a spare part for another machine ran me $1303. I'd probably cry if i priced the same stuff out now.

Heres a front view...one of the things i dont like about my camera is the flash gets rid of the leds in my rig, but when i turn it off it comes out blurry


heres the blurry colorful pic


here is my beautiful inside. look how big my cpu cooler is. it is about an inch and a half from my side panel window.


my psu that i just got replaced. 520w 3 fans with blue led


WLAN... not too good but o well

i tried several times but my cables are way to stiff and dont move where i tell them to go

[2plus2equals5]

Tosh, what mod did you download to get the 3D background?

[toshinator]

the slanted windows are called matodate
the cube is called yodm3d

[2plus2equals5]

Word, I downloaded yodm3d last night, it's awesome. I ran across matodate in my travels but was sort of skeptical about the whole thing, is it worth it?

[toshinator]

matodate is an application like yodm3d you can exit it and delete it like any application. it doesnt modify your OS or anything. its free and it doesnt damage your computer so i guess its theirs no risk and it looks awesome so its probably worth it. i dont really use my eye candy unless i want to impress people cuz with all that stuff running it can get pretty distracting but i keep it on my computer anyway

and i thought i had it bad...

[haywood]

ok so now that you all have shown me how shitty my computer is, and that i would be better off chewing on lead painted chinese made toys than upgrading it further, ill tell you about my comp.
First of all it is the most frankenstien machine since... well Frankenstien.
At one point it was a really nice top of the line dell mid tower, in 2003.
well i got a hold of this Radeon x-800 pro video card out of an alienware comp abandoned at work (retail is so awesome for random acqusitions)and then put it in the dell, well it was great except my 256 mb of ram was terrible so i put more in only to put it in backwards, and shorted the mobo out.

so i bought a asus mobo, well it didnt fit the dell case so a new case was in order after all the ordeal this is what i got

Intel p4 2.0 ghz not even hyperthreaded
768mb pc2700 RAM
30gb western digital hd 7200rpm
asus mobo
400w powersupply
various fans
all in a ninja case- pretymuch the gayest and most embarassing case ever but it was 20$ with a 400 power supply.
samsung 930b 19 in lcd monitor
logitec g5 lasermouse
steelpad mouse pad
altec 5.1
stock keyboard

dont cry for me ill get a new rig by christmas

[2plus2equals5]

Alright well some extraneous circumstances prompted me to open up my case today, and I figured I would take a couple of pictures for this thread, so without further ado:

Overall


Processor, GPU's and RAM


A close up of the dual cards and SLI connector.


Put together... yeah that's a 3 1/2 floppy drive from my former Computersaurus Rex.


Just an example of the power supply LED and front temperature gauge. Pretty rad, but has nothing on Tosh's crazy LED case lights:)


My keyboard. This picture came out a little blurry, but I thought it looked tight anyways.


And of course, eye-candy.


Specs:
AMD 64 Dual Core 5200+ 2.61Ghz CPU
2x nVidia GeForce 7800GT connected through SLI
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe MOBO
2 GB RAM (soon to be 3
550w Power Supply with that sexy blue backlighting

[toshinator]

when i tried to take a screenshot of my cube it didnt work. what program do you use for the screenshots

[2plus2equals5]

I just slammed the Print Screen key like 10 times.

[toshinator]

alright i found the print screen key, but if i press is will it print the screen or take a picture of it?
