Awesome PC. Runs COD2 on full EVERYTHING. Great framerate and no lag at all, even online with my wireless card. Gaming as never been so much fun.

Bought this case for the spacing and internal architecture, not for the looks. (And I have the silver version, not the black.)

Taken when I was building it 2 or so years ago. Added a second CD-ROM and changed the PSU after my old one burned out. Fried a cap. I think I have a picture of it somewhere.

I'll be upgrading when the DX10 cards come out. I'd like to keep the case, but the five fans make it really loud. Maybe I'll try installing a water cooling system or something. Gonna have to find a way to plug the holes if I take out the case fans though.

Bleh. LED cases r lose. I've already got enough lights in my room, what with the modem, two routers, switch...

It'd be damn near impossible to get to sleep with that thing on.

Which is why I have it in my living room and I sleep in my bedroom. Small apartments and living by myself FTW. Also, I bought the case from ThinkGeek, and they didn't advertise that the fans had LEDs. I'm don't like it myself, but I don't want to replace them with standard black fans. I'd have to find some clear ones.

I don't have that many leds on mine and I have trouble sleeping with it on, so I just turn it off at night except when I'm downloading stuff. (not torrents <.<) If I do have to leave it on, I end up building a fort around the desk with a few blankets, a big leather chair in front of the case and pillows.

I have another computer that somebody might bring up that's sitting in a box in my closet. It's extremely expensive, and I've vowed to never connect it to the internet. It's my LAN machine... Lian Li PC60, Dual Athlon 64FX51 procs, 4GB Crucial 3200, Radeon x800XL, and a vapor cooling unit == way too pricey.

Jeesa Croops! Thats alot of HDD space!

6BG shy of a TB!! too bad that 120 isn't going to last too much longer. But when it does die, I'll replace it with a larger drive.

Do you do any video editing?

none at all. I have the largest page-file known to man though. :p

Honestly, I got most of the hard drives for free. So I installed them.

Two words: Circuit City.

Nice, I got my second seagate 160gb as a gift myself.

Case: piece of crap

System: piece of crap

I think that pretty much covers it; I don't bother posting specs anymore, now that everyone and his dog has a better computer than mine.

Mine's getting up there.

Athlon XP 1800+ (~1.6 ghz)
dunno motherboard
768 mb of some sorta ram
tiny hard drives and crappy rpm
128 mb radeon 9800+ pro

It's still hangin' in there.
It runs games like HL2, CivIV quite well. Quake 4 is very sluggish on it.

Freelance, you might manage a pretty good framerate in Quake 4 on high at 1024x768 with 2x AA and 4x AF. I used to manage that with my 9600 XT (128mb) and a similar rig. The only true difference is I had more RAM. Of course I'm not saying you'll hit the 50s, but you'll have something playable with a few small slow downs here and there.

I have a G4 Powerbook 12"

Really? What resolution are you running at? AA/AF? What fps are you getting? Also, install the large HDD drive from MS, so you're not limited to the smaller size.

It be's quite true!

My rig (got an X1900XT instead of a 7800GT) runs the game maxed out, 4x AA, 16xAF, Bodies on full, smooth smoke edges on everything, all texture options on extra, 1600x1200, etc. and I don't even have to overclock it.

Haven't had any stutter in the game yet.

You shouldn't have bought an ATI card.

Good luck doing that on a 7800GT. Knight Rider must be running at 1024 x 768.

The X1900XT more than holds its own. I'm starting to doubt your reasoning behind the hate on the cards--the X1800 was actually a much better card than you portrayed as well. They've found a way to more efficiently use the technology nVidia is pushing.

I like this case a lot but I'm kind of looking to get a new one because this one is so big.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]I'm starting to doubt your reasoning behind the hate on the cards[/QUOTE]
....you're starting to doubt the fact that ATI hasn't released a X1000-series Linux driver?
I've never complained about the performance of my X1800 either. Where did you get the idea that I was upset with ATI's hardware? Do you even read what other people say, or do you just think "LOL NVIDIA FANBOY" and then make up crap like this the next time the subject is discussed?

Basically I'm asking if it's a congenital issue or something that's drug-related.

So then why did you say I shouldn't have bought it? Why would I regret buying an ATI when its held true in every single game and has totally blown me away, not to mention that its blown away the 7800GT. It runs great, keeps a very good temperature, has excellent drivers and overclocking tools. Not to mention that the few games that I did bother to buy a new computer for are shader-based games.

Nor have I ever had any trouble with any of my previous ATI's. The 6800GT was one of my first nvidia cards and while I liked it, its temperature was aweful. My x1900xt is much cooler. Perhaps it was a defect in the 6800GT, technically it shouldn't heat as much as the x1900. But then... there you go. I've had more trouble with nvidia. :p

As for Linux? I use windows, and i have no intention to EVER use Linux.

Either way. I'm not one to get biased towards a company, I'll take the best any of them had to offer, and right then it was the x1900xt. Of course the 7900 is out now, its a bit stronger, sure, but bleh, now (even my x1900) is pretty much overkill. Not to mention that I got an extremely good deal on the x1900xt that saved me quite a few 100$s.

You shouldn't have bought it because ATI is not interested in supporting their products beyond the absolute minimum necessary to make a sale. The implications here should be obvious.

I won't show my current case as its no longer available (and its too emabrasing), But i will show you my planned upgrade for this year:

Current Specs:

• 160GB HDD
• BenQ DVD+-RW
• LG DVD-Rom

Planned specs for my next machine:


Silverstone Sugo SG-01-E Case

• AMD Athlon 64X2 4800+
• Biostar TForce6100-939 Motherboard (u-ATX)
• 2.0GB DDR400 RAM (Dual Channel)

You guys buy the ugliest cases.

PITY ME!

MHz. M = Mega. Hz = Hertz, the unit of frequency. It was named after a man who made important contributions to physics, which is why the first letter is capitalized (Hz instead of hz). Combined it stands for "megahertz".
I'm not sure what you were aiming for, but given that the only 'G' in "megahertz" is part of the metric prefix I believe you should no longer be allowed to post anything on this forum that involves the use of a unit of measure again.

I do, but not for the reasons you want me to.

*Things I already have

I am currently buying stuff to build with. It will be my college computer. Not great, but it will last a while without becoming obsolete. I have been using this computer for like 5 years. Its still kicking.

Pretty much everything is at stock, except the RAM which is underclocked to PC2700 speeds, mainly because of the motherboard. Though, with this system, it's not exactly like it would make a noticeable difference at the higher speed.

Oh yeah, and a 620W Enermax Liberty which will be going into my next rig.

And the case... er... yeah. It's some no-name brand case that I got when I upgraded to an Athlon 1200 a few years ago.

Oh, and my case is almost exactly the same as the one above, just a darker metallic grey and a window in the side. Nothing fancy besides, but it is a kick-*** functional case.

Actaully I'm ran it at MAX resolution. The only problem was my monitor did not support it, so iI took it to 12 somethin or other. I have an 7800GT with a FACTORY OVERCLOCK. Like Jepman, everything else was at max. He knows his stuff, and if you have been reading the posts lately, you'll know he was the one that helped me pick out the parts for my new PC .

Even at 1280 x 1024 your look at frames often in the mid 20's. Still, that doesn't bother many people in COD 2 much as the frame rate's pretty stable. Also, a factory OC gives very little performance, it may make the game slightly smoother, but it won't be a humongous difference over stock. (~5% difference if your lucky)

EDIT: You weren't running at full AA though. That would have butchered your frame rate.
