main unit is an XPS 600 duo core 3.2 with full 4 gig ram, 2 x 240gig drives and a pair of nvidia 7800's running in tandem on PCI-e.
This thing is huge (think piece of furniture....)
I also have an older unit with 3ghz processor and 2 gig memory that I use for the dedicated halo server when needed. Finally, theres a really old 2.4 ghz machine that has a bunch of hard drives jammed into it for accessing on the home network.
Dedi works, I'll leave it on tomorrow while im at school so no one can play on it (my bro gripes about it being loud so I cant leave it on at night, yet he sings to songs on itunes...we share a room. Please kill me now). System specs:
Celeron D 2.133 ghz skt 478 ($30 on newegg)
ASROCK PM4800 (free from Bro)
6800LE w/ pipelines and vertex shaders reactivated (bought for $100 god knows how long ago)
768megs of Crucial Ballisticz successfully run at ~500mhz on DFI mobo (soon to be replaced with 1 gig pc 3200, freeby)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 80 IDE drive (All the way back from my first computer, an Athlon XP 2600+, about $40 when I bought it)
NEC 4570A DVD-RAM ($30 on newegg)
Apevia XQ-Pack case ($70 birthday present =D)
what I plan on adding:
*SB Audigy 2 ZS if I can find a deal on an XFI or whatever is out when I upgrade
*as mentioned before, 1 gig total of ram
*silent fan (so it can stay on at night)
*passive CPU/VGA coolers (same reason as above)
*I might attempt to Watercool it, I just need to get a hold of my $5 waterblocks that actually perform well when youhave mounting hardware that fits xD
*gigabit ethernet card that works/wireless card.
*beefier PSU (using the stock Apevia 460 watt unit)
*Seagate 7200.10 320 gig SATA drive if I can save up some cash)
*set of cheap speakers for it xD
*If I have any budget left after my upgrade to K8L/C2Q next year I may get a skt 754 mobo and put my current system in there.
thats about it. I cant get any pictures now since my camera has been taken hostage, but you probably get the basic idea of what it looks like from my first post. Anyways, please dont spam this thread! Post pics of you computer and brag! make others feel lowly! DO IT NOW!
Brother called the big bedroom first, so I get the small one.
