good luck trying to steal my comp, im 6'7 17 210lbs and a basketball player, kickboxer and my dads 7 feet at 280ish lbs and was a heavyweight kickboxer/boxer/mma fighter plus he was in special forces in yugoslav army in 70's, 80's so he knows how to kill :arrgh!: plus hes teaching me his moves from the army:arrgh!::arrgh!::arrgh!::rock:

Very modest


1. Intel Pentium 4, 3.06GHz (Dual-core)
2. OEM 2048Mb DDR Ram (Dual-channel)
3. BFG GeForce 6800OC, 128MB DDR

Otherwise - 80GB HD plus a 120GB external; a small 15" monitor; a Sound Blaster XFi sound card and a pair of Creative speakers, as well as Sennheiser HD515 monitors... what else? :hmm:

Holy cow! I know who to hire when I need a bodyguard now. :yep:

Oh yeah? Well, my dad's 10 feet tall at 500ish pounds and was a viking plus he singlehandedly liberated Kuwait in '91. He could definitely beat up your dad ;)

My aging, but ever faithful mule:

- AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2GHz)
- Asus A8V Deluxe (Socket 939)
- 2GB OCZ PC3200 DDR
- Sapphire X1950 Pro 512MB GDDR3
- Sound Blaster X-Fi
- Enermax 620W PSU
- LG 20" widescreen
- Antec SOHO enclosure
- WinXP Pro SP2


Edit: Well, I was planning on building a completely new system this weekend, but decided to wait. With AMD's upcoming R600s, Intel's new 1333MHz FSB CPUs and price drop, as well as possible DDR3, I'd rather wait a few months and let the dust settle. With that in mind, I replaced my X800 XT graphics card with a new X1950 Pro 512MB to hold me over for a few more months.

My hella old a$$ comps:

AMD Athlon 1200+
256 RAM (I took the RAM from this comp so I can use it for my other comp)
ATI RAdeon 9200 series
128MB video memory
30GB HD
1.25 GHz

and the comp Im usein before I get a new comp this month:

AMD Athlon 1900+
used to be 256MB now 512 RAM
ATI Radeon 9200 series
128 memory
40GB HD
1.47GHz

Used to use those big bulkly 17" screen monitor now I use a Flat screen 17" monitor.

Geforce 2 in superglue SLI

4 ram sticks soldered to the motherboard to give 12 mb of ram

and the processor is a old toaster.... good thing is i get breakfast when the comp overheats :rotfl:

Na still using my old alienware

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz 4MB Cache 1066MHz FSB
4GB DDR2 PC-6400 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 x 1024MB

(Dont ask me what half that stuff means... i just copied it from a email i got from em) :-?

Athlon 64 X2 4800
2gb Kingston DDR 3200
ATI Radeon X1950XT 256
22" Acer widescreen

And I have to list my Hard drives...

Internal:
2x 320gb IDE, 320gb SATA, 500gb SATA

External:
80gb IDE, 200gb SATA

1.7tb total

I just love these threads! There´s always someone wanting to show off with some über machine, then a computer wizz comes and points out that there´s not a PC like that. :rotfl:

Anyways, my humble workhorse:

AMD Athlon 64 +3500
Asus A8N-SLI SE
2 x HD ~400GB total
2gb RAM
Geforce 7800GTX 256mb
17'' Fujitsu Siemens LCD

It's in my sig but to stick to the format requested here goes:

1. Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ stock speed 2.4Ghz (intend to overclock to over 3Ghz)
2. 2 X 1 GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4D DOMINATOR @ 4-4-4-12
3. XFX 7900GS 256MB Dual PCI-E modded with Zalman VF900-Cu LED HSF

As mentioned earlier my full spec is in my sig. I intend to overclock this system in the future when the need arises. I built this system from scratch with overclocking and low noise levels in mind. All in all I am very happy that I built exactly what I needed at a very good price of under GBP £1000.00.

It has been running now for just under two months with only one problem being that the Seagate hard drive has started to make quite a racket and is probably going to fail some time soon. I do have an external 400gb backup hard drive so in the case of hard drive failure I am covered. :smug: Still it is a bummer if the hard drive does die but I guess it is just luck of the draw with this component at times. :damn:

Wait until you get married and then you will find it a very hard task convincing your other half why it is such a great idea forking out $3500 to $5000 on a computer that in 6 months time has halved in value.

Seriously that is one ridiculously powerful system. :rock: Couple of questions for you. Why did you go down the AMD route considering Intel right now have a major advantage over AMD? Secondly did you build this system yourself or was it built for you? I would love to see some photos of your system. :|\\

amd has always been better in performance like i said earlier C2D will be th pcu from intel for the next few years. Intel is known to release something good and wait 3-4 years and release something new again, this is bad cuz comp tech is advancing every 1-2 years, AMD released K8 (amd 64) which murked the pentium 4, now intel released C2D to counter the K8 and they wont release something major aenytime soon , while AMD has already planned to release a quad core even faster then the intel quad core, this summer!!, after the C2D hype is over(c2d is a small bump) amd is releasing K10 series which is better and even faster then their AM2 and C2D. so in terms of gaming and server computers AMD's athlon X2 and FX for gaming and for gaming and server their opteron series beat the xeon and c2d

ive built this system my self from carrying the heavy ass case, to screwing in the motherboard, to the fans screwed in, to the cpu socket installation (was a bitch cuz of sensitive pins,) graphics card installation (those cards are tooo damm big)


basically from empty case to fully loaded with lights and etc.

cameras in for warranty fix something about internal lens orsomething idk the pics will be up soon :arrgh!:

Can you back up that claim with data please? I don't hear too many people if any claiming that the AMD Athlon X2 line and FX CPU's beat the Intel Core 2 Duo as you claim. Please point me to where such a claim is corroborated? :-?

P4 3GHz (Northwood)
1 GB RAM (2x512)
Geforce 5700 256MB
(about 4 years old I guess)

The monitor is a Philips 107MP (17" CRT), about 7 years old I think. I'm considering an upgrade, but it becomes hard to find good CRT monitors, and affordable LCDs don't seem to match the image quality of that old thing.


It can still run Doom 3 at high at 800x600. The new Supreme Commander demo is a bit much for it, though.

More than enough power for Dangerous Waters.
