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?

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

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

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
