I don't know if there's been a thread like this before but anybody here up for a post your PC thread? I know a lot of you have some sweet computers so they must look cool too.
I'll post mine tomorrow... I can't find our camera at the moment.

My PC has a shitty aluminum case. I made it to play games, not to 'rice out' as it were.
Specs are in the sig with a 20.1" widescreen and a 19" monitors.
Oh yea, and the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speaker system.

Now I want eggrolls... fucker.
My PSU has blue LEDs inside it with a clear fan. My motherboard has red LEDs on the bottom.
Those were things I found out after I bought them. I'm really glad I don't have a window or anything. All that light would make it a bitch to sleep.

My PC doesn't look anything all that special. Just a standard Dell E510 case (generic pic (http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewer/0,1205,l=&p=1&s=1564&a=161102&po=1&i=1,00.asp?p=y)). It's really nothing worth taking photos of. I'm much more happy about what on the interior of the case after some upgrades.
Here's the specs:
- Pentium 4 3.4 GHz w/HT
- 2GB DDR2 Ram
- 160 GB hard-drive (7,200 RPM)
- 200 GB hard-drive (7,200 RPM)*
- EVGA 7600 GT*
- Auzen Tech X Mystique sound card*
- DVD-rom drive
- DVD+RW drive (Dual layer)
- 520W OCZ Powerstream PSU*
- 4 port USB 2.0 add-on card*
- extra 80mm fan case*
Accessories/peripherals:
- 17" Dell E176FP LCD monitor
- Logitech G15 keyboard*
- Razer Copperhead mouse (blue)*
- Silver Icemat pad*
- Logitech X-530 speakers*
- Dell AIO 924 Printer
* - upgraded after purchase
I didn't plan on doing so many upgrades when I first got it, but thanks to some decent deals I was able to get most of the stuff for pretty cheap. The $20 Google Checkout promo at Buy.com (along with their surprisingly decent prices to begin with) helped reduce the cost of a lot of the accessories. The Razer went from its retail $80 to $33 or so. The most expensive upgrade was the PSU and I got that for about $90.
Is it the greatest PC in the world? No, but should last me for quite some time. I'm pretty damn pleased with it.

I have a 4ish year old Dell which I've been upgrading to keep up with the times.
- P4 2.53 GhZ
- 1 Gig RAM
- 64 MB NVidia GeForce 6600
- 120 GB Hard Drive
- 80 GB Hard Drive
- DVD-ROM Drive
- CD-RW Drive
- Some Altec Lansing Speakers and Sound Card
- 17" Kogi Flatscreen LCD (which is still working perfectly after 4 years, go figure)
- Logitech (not sure what model) mouse
- Standard Dell Quietkey Keyboard
- No Printer (had one, but I get free printing at work/university)
It's still Ok for gaming, I can run the stuff I want to play on here, but it's starting to wane on old stuff.
I also use a 1 year old 15" Apple Powerbook, which has nearly identical specs, but I use it for audio/video editing and very minor gaming (Civ IV mostly),
I'm planning on upgrading to a Mac Pro desktop (if I can get Windows/Mac OS on the same computer at that time). My gf and I will split the cost, but it's still about $2k a piece, but the machine is a beast.

I had the wiring very well hidden... but when my first PS died and I replaced with this Corsair, I just didn't bother re-hiding most of the wiring. Way too much work.
Anyway, here's the PC from the side.

Haha, I have that heatsink in my other PC, it's so huge and heavy that I actually bent a large paper clip and used it to hook the heatsink to the case for weight support.
SpreadTheWord
04-08-2008, 05:34 PM
I got it because I was THIS close to snapping my motherboard in half with Intel's push pin style heatsink. Gotta love screws.
It's great though, I'm running a $120 CPU at 3.0Ghz and when I get a dual core, I can use the same monster heatsink to overclock/keep cool.

You didn't get the H2C cooling system, I take it? Lucky you. I saw one last year in the dorms and the guy hated it because it took up so much room and wasn't that great of a cooler.:lol:
BTW, how long are those 8800GTs? I want to get one my I can't find anything on how long they are... I'm afraid they won't fit my case.
