and tons of noobinating skillz ;P

I have no recent pictures, but an older setup (back in the old flat too )

i like the board without a case idea. seen some without a case on =FaRT= forums. makes it alot easier to switch shit out.

yep, makes it a lot easier to get at stuff - especially since the board has a power button built onto it etc., - I couldn't find a suitable case to hold all the hard drives and ones close to it cost over £100 and required shed loads of cooling.

Instead I used the case money for other things, it's bolted to the wall (making theft tricky), also it doesn't really gather dust - I found cases mean forcing high volumes of air through them, so gather dust Lots of fans to cool also means lots of noise

. Without the artificial airflow forcing dust into the system the heat just convects up and away, the components are still cool and everything is silent since there are only 2 low rpm fans with the chipset and voltage regulators.

Thorougily approve of the commodore case - I'd buy one myself if I ever intended on using a case
Out of curiosity (I'm nosy) you've got win7 which handles lots of ram, so why have you 6gb with only 3 usable?

32bit at a guess...

fair do's; although the 32bit limit is 4gb except on the starter os which is 2gb if I remember correctly

<br /><br /><br />

i thought it was 3.25gb for 32 bit?

it all depends if your sharing memory with other hardware like gfx card etc. i think windows does this automatically... long time since i used 32bit and had to worry about these sorts of things

It's rather out of date now but built it from scratch when everything was just released... well, when most stuff was released. Had to wait a longggggggg time for the HDD and was 1 of first in the UK to get it.

nice

most of you guys are missing the point...........

post pictures......PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!

Until I find the camera, you'll have to make do with specs...

2GB DDR2 @ 1066Mhz
Asus Striker Extreme motherboard
MSI GTX280 Gfx card
Creative X-Fi soundcard with an old audigy 2 bay attached (Yes, it DOES work)

Logitech G11 keyboard
MS Wireless Intellimouse
Razor-somethingorother headset
Creative Cambridge yada-yaya 7.1 surround, running @ 3.1 currently
Antec 1200 case
Pair of slightly cranky DVD writers
Enough dust to fill a pillowcase.

what the bejesus is 3.1 sound?

surround sound for the partially deaf ?


but on the rig note , nothing spectacular

Athlon x2 7750 @ 3.4 ghz
Amd 790GX Mobo ( sapphire )
4 Gigs Corsair 1066 DDR2 (that flat out refuses to POST at 1066 in this mobo )
GTX 260 ( rev 1 192 cores )
2x Hitachi 500 gig HDDs
Xfi Extreme Gamer Sndcard

Some nameless nondescript black case to hold everything
Saitek Eclipse 3 Keyboard ( yes its a bit OTT but i liked the way the keys feel )
Mouse - currently microsoft sidewinder - as it is one of the few big enough for my hands

Its where I can only get the front 3 speakers and the sub wired in, because unless the rear units have developed the ability to float in mid-air without wiring, then I cant hang them on sod all, can I?

theyd make nice earings ;p

I suppose I could get two lanky twats to come and stand behind me, and hold them while I play? Dan, Marc, you guys up for it? ;O)

rofl jog on, I'm the perfect height, neither lanky nor short

6:

Bah, you're the same height as me so by your own logic you're a Struthio Camelus! Yeah, have some of that biatch!

My new gaming area. almost finished with it

K, I don't see the obsession with pictures. Personally my rig could look like a turd for all I care as long as it was ninja-fast.

oh, and Munkey, WTF how old is that UPS? If those are the original cells in it I will be impressed cos that thing must be 8 years old at least.

Anyhoo, specwise my current pre-BF3 rig is:

Case: Antec P183 (no pimp windows or flashing dials so no point in pictures but might do if I decide to airbrush it)
Mobo: Asus P6X58D

RAM: 6GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
GFX: GTX 275OC (until BF3 then might upgrade if required)

Sound: PCI Audigy 4
Mouse: logitech G500
Mat: Steelseries
Keyboard: bogo standard HP freebie

......USB cup-warmer

ninjas do normally look like turds
