see id love to post pics here but mine is just an old scungy case with:
Amd PhenomII x4 965
Gigabyte Ga-890xa-ud3 motherboard
2x Gigabyte ATI HD 5750 1GB
Corsair 4GB 1600mhz RAM (2 sticks of 2gd)
Corsair hx650 650w power supply.
And i cant remember what hard drives i have but there is 2x 2tb.

And the best bit was it was sourced from our local friendly computer man Kev.

[convict paul]

still a decent setup you got there
what are the 2 5750s in crossfire like? i tried another 5770 and my fame rates actually dropped :/ lol i dunno what went wrong but it didn't like it.

Xbox FTW

What games do you play?

[convict paul]

dont game much anymore. useto play the crysis series and battlefield series, played cod 4 alot got to good then got bored. lol

[Sarah Jayne]

Bored of cod? Never heard that one before!

[Neakit]

it also helps i have pcie 2 ports so the graphics work better. in cod 4 im seeing 90 fps and in wow with the effects turned to max im seeing 61 fps solid, its not moving on wow its orsom.
xfire works well in my case. Just wish windows would sort it crap out, my os on the comp crapped its self and i lost my windows disc...... spose its a good reason to upgrade to windows 7.

[hellrazorone]

It's a very dusty rig at the moment, but I'm running ...

• Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
• Intel Q9650 (at stock 3Ghz)
• 8GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 800 (4 x 2GB)
• Antec Twelve Hundred
• Silverstone 750W modular
• Noctua CPU Cooler
• 80GB Intel X25-M SSD R2 (primary)
• 5 x 1TB WD Caviar Black (storage)
• Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1
• XFX GTX 470
• DigitalNow TinyTwin USB Tuner
• Logitech Z-2300 Speakers
• 2 x Dell 24" 2407WFP (Rev A04)

... and I'm picking up a Pioneer DVR-216BK (Blu-Ray burner) tomorrow.

Guess it's more of a "do everything" than a hardcore gamers setup.
I'm hoping this rig will see me through until the release after Sandy Bridge.

If there's one upgrade I'd recommend switching to an SSD for your primary hard drive, they've come down heaps to what they used to cost.
(I guess it also makes it *really* difficult to figure out what industry I work in )

[convict paul]

yeah im also waiting for sandy bridge but im still probably just going to run this thing till it basically dies, just get some new ram, it still keeps up with everything that the i7s do especially at 3.6GHz just need to wither get a new motherboard and get some DDR3 or just keep my motherboard and get 8gb of DDR2

Finally fixed the windows issues. i think windows 7 will be the way to go

[convict paul]

it sure is best OS by far

[convict paul]

no other pc gamers? where is KEV? haha

[golden_dase]

I'm here... but too busy for gaming these days.

[convict paul]

im sure your pc would rip up the games what are the specs again?

[golden_dase]

Atari 2600..

[ozjayok]

Very impressive set up you have there convict paul. whats the thing with the dial on the bottom right?

I love gaming (MW2 and Black Ops atm) and have just upgraded my PC but it does not look anywhere as neat as yours. My cables are everywhere.


Mine is :

INTEL CORE i7 950 3.06GHz 8MB
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD
COOLERMASTER CENTURION 5 II BLACK 500W
Thermaltake Toughpower 750w
KINGSTON 6GB KIT DDR3 C9 HYPERX 2000MHZ
XFX HD6870 900M PCIe/1GB/DVI/HDMI/DP
Panasonic Viera 32 inch

Want to get a solid state drive next and tidy up the cables in mine too.

note : in the pic it shows the 4890 which has now been replaced by a 6870. 4890 is for sale or swap for a L number!

[convict paul]

thats a pretty nice set up
its a asus fan controller. i need a new graphics card as the 5770 is kinda getting a bit slow for the new games coming out.
you should be able to tidy your cables nicely in that case .
