my spare parts rig used to be my gaming rig, but once dual core hit and PCI-ex i thought i better jump on the band wagon so my 2100 just sits there folding hapily all day all night lol. with very high temps(keeps the room at a nice 27degrees!!!, CPU is running just under 60)

Well, I've been a long-time reader of the forum(z), but I'd never felt a true calling to make my own contributions. Upon seeing this thread, I couldn't help myself any longer -- I simply had to register so I could share my mind-bogglingly-awesome specs with the community. Without further ado, here is my supercomputer (oh, and feel free to laugh me off of the internet):

CPU: 2.0GHz P4 (Northwood, baby!)
Chipset: Intel 845
Memory: 768MB PC133 (SDRAM!)
Hard Drive: 60GB Maxtor 4D060H3
Optical Drives: CD-RW and a Sony DVD-ROM
GPU: ATi Radeon 9600XT 128MB (4 pixel pipelines!)
Sound: AC '97 Audio
Case: The Generic Beige Box (stylish!)
Monitor: 15" Viewsonic VG150
Keyboard: 104 keys!
Headphones: Sony MDR-G52 (most of the foam padding has fallen off...)
Mouse: Razer Copperhead w/ fUnc 1030 sUrface (ok, so I enjoy my Counter-Strike 1.6...)

Jealous much?

P.S. I plan on building a new rig in the mid-May to July time frame, so don't cry for me just yet.

The kid's gaming box:

DFI Lanparty UT nf4 Ultra/Opteron 146/OCZ Titanium DDR400 2x1GB/GigabyteX1900XT/74GB Raptor/OCZ 520W Modstream/Zalman 7900/TT Tidewater/Antec HD Cooler/LG GSA-H10AK DVD-R/Aerocool Jetmaster JR

My photo,video and music editing rig is torn apart undergoing big change so till it's more together, I'll hold off spec'ing it. HD space is going way up, and I'm proving how huge an idiot I am by attempting to get an ATI HDTV All In Wonder running on it. See the grip marks on my ankles?

Son #2 now wants a gaming box, so I'm considering which way to go there but if it doesn't compete with the rig listed above, then I'll be a bad man. Birthdays done got expensive, Batman.

Hi Flakes, i just noticed your 3DMark05 score and mine is very close yours :? 8307. Its wierd cause youve got an overall much better rig than me, specially CPU. Whats up that?

 

[PX7800GT]

It`s Because 3DMark 2005 Is Very GPU Limited Program ... The 95% Of Final Score Is For Your Graphic Card , 5% Is For The Rest Of Your System ... But Hey You Got A High Score in 3DMark05 (8307) , I Got 7600 Point
