I'm running THE most lopsided system at the moment i challenge you to top this.

AM2 4600+ dual core processor
2 gigs of Supertalant DDR2 800
some oldschool gigabyte mobo i cant be fucked finding the model number for
800 Watt Gigabyte ODIN power supply
Creative X-Fi that has given me nothing but trouble and will no doubt be the last creative product i buy
and the finale, a 4870X2 that is CLEARLY not running at its full potential due to crappy cpu clock speeds.

In an antec case i dont think you scumbags could handle if you saw, i think ill keep the horrorshow of untied cabling and unsecured parts all to myself thanks.

Antec for the lose.

Oh hey yeah the core i7 comes out this month, ill replace my cpu with one of those bad boys and put a proper benchmark up here for you guys to look at with envious... envy

stop ur whinging nasty!

ive got a e6300 duo at 1.86.....1.86 my computer chugs like a piece of shit all the time... ep45 mobo.. 4850 gpu... 300 watt psu... 300!!!!!!.... shitty old 2 buttom microsoft mouse and shitty like 2 year old keyboard.... 2 gigs ram at 800... shitty stock case like 2 years old.. dude my computer shits on yours... its a piece of shit everything stock except mobo and one gpu!!!... i reckon my benchmark would be under 10000 for sure!!

300 watter lol, i bet thats gonna make a nice popping sound when it goes...

wats with the white case milk? looks at bit homo if u ask me

Damn one thing im extremly jellous of how neat your space is...

Wow you have a G25, there fucken awsome, ever played Rfactor??

Currently I'm running a 17" (1650 x 1080) Macbook Pro with 2.33 GHz C2D, 2 GB Ram, 160 GB split 32 GB for XP with the rest for OS X 10.5 and a Radeon X1600.

However, with my pay on Tuesday I'll have the money to build a proper gaming computer which will most likely be as follows.

Intel Q6600
4 GB DDR 800 Mhz 5-5-5-15
500 GB HDD
GTX 280/HD 4870
XFX 780i mobo


Hey MilkandCereal, what fps are you getting?

I usually play Wars at 1680x1050 on medium detail, which looks awesome, and I get roughly 50-60FPS but sometimes it drops down to about 40. And yes, I have played rFactor, but not very much of it. I prefer GTR2 and Test Drive Unlimited for my racing games.

CPU: Q6600 2.4GHZ
RAM: 4GB RAM DDR2 800MHZ
GPU: NVIDIA 9600GT
HDD: 320GB
CASE: XCLIO A380 (Check it out)
MOUSE: G9
KEYBOARD: SOME SHIT
SPEAKERS: LOGITECH Z-5500
MOBO: P35

Thats a cool case. And not as dear as I thought it was going to be when I saw the picture.

The Q6600 seems to be a really popular CPU.

yeah i got that too..

yeah its the cheapest outta the intel quad and pretty good clock speed.. every1 try play crysis with a 1.86 duo like me ...lol and the 300 watter matches it pretty good too lol

Ive got a e6300... but mines at 2.8 haha.

Hurry up and get a new Psu and we'll clock that baby up.

God that camera flash makes everything looks heap brighter than it really is lol. There is blue LED's inside my case but you can't see them thanks to the camera flash.

lol bob... in a coupl eof weeks i will hope to be gettinga antec 900... q6600 and 750 watter... then i will oc a bit

ok bout time i put my hunk of shit in:

Carts:

CPU: Q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz
Mobo: Asus P5N32-E SLI (but i don't have sli)
RAM: 2GB DDR2 600
GPU: 8800GT
Keyboard: Some shitty dell one (8 years old)
Mouse: Some shitty logitech which is like 5 years old.
Monitor: Shitty Dell 18"

Need more or better ram.. but oh well, i'll get over it.

ur comps alright!

yeah buddy dont need more ram if your running xp at least you wont be able to move to 4gb without it scaling back

xp ftw tho fuck that vista shit they just extended the life on xp AGAIN because vista still isn't business ready and they've finally ready to close the gap between xp and windows seven when it gets released in the next two years. Basically thats microsoft going back on all that "omg xp is obselete" and providing people who buy new hardware with the option to roll back to vista.

end of rant

yeah q6600 bro, still gets some supa fast benchmarks i must say
realistically you wont be needing an upgrade for a while.

Nah, vista..

windows seven can suck my left nut!... and vista can suck my right one

OK here is the Cosmic setup:

Case: Antec P182
Mobo: XFX nForce 790i Ultra
CPU: Q6600 (G0) 2.4ghz @ 3.6ghz

Now i'm happy with my rig...next tune will be water cooling to get the CPU to 4ghz

nice rig you got cosmic

I bought a GTX280 and an Antec 900 today. I get the PSU, CPU, RAM and Mobo tomorrow. I already have everything else.

Nice system Cosmic.

hey Z what's the full specs of ur system ur seting up?

look back a page and add a Xigmatek 750W modular PSU. Unfortunately I got an email and they don't have the PSU in stock so I'll get the mobo today set it up and then add the CPU, RA and PS when I can pick them up.

Well its made and the only thing I need to do know is install the graphics drivers. I have a few pics which I'll post later when I could be bothered to go upstairs to get the cable.

Final Specs
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: 4GB
GFX: Gigabyte GTX 280
Mobo: Asus PQ5
Case: Antec 900
PSU: Xigmatec 750W
HDD: 2 x 250 GB (I already had these)
Optical: LG DVD-Ram/RW
Monitor: 19" Proview 1440x900
Speakers: Logitech X-530
Headphones: Senheisser HD280
OS: SP SP3 (Will be Vista 64-bit once I have the money)

As I have typed this it has finished as is now ready to go. Well I'll forget the Windows updates.

Next Upgrade: Vista 64-bit OEM with 2 or 4 gb ram purchase.

Nice mate, you need a bigger monitor though but so do I.

Can anyone reccommend a good 22" widescreen

*cough cough* wouldnt that be illegal cos

OOOOOOOO GOODY LTTLE 2 SHOE who gives a fuck. Mr Gazz i am the law hmmmmm lol

I had already thought of that, but last year I had a make everything legal phase. I bought something like 24 games last year. I didn't buy another one after Crysis until Spore then Warhead and I've pre-ordered Far Cry 2. Everything on my mac is legal, except for XP. I'm going to try to keep my pc as much as possible legal. Plus I'll have 8 GB ram once I've bought Vista.

BTW I'm writing this from within this strange but cool Asus thing. Basicaly there's a really cut down version of linux on the mobo which allows you to use the net, look though pictures, chat and skype. Its called express gate and I might use it more if it would support my monitor size.

I've been playing Wars and outside I'm getting about 45-70 fps outside (except beach) and over 120 inside buildings on all high. I'd be lucky to get 30 fps all low at 800x600 before.

@sgtkiller life is just so much easier when you use legit copies of things.

damnnnn zygurt thats some nice frames ur getting on those setting!! good stuff

Wow. I didn't know that the GTX280 was much better than SLI 8800GT's... But I see here that it is is lol. On Warhead I get those sort of frame rates, but not on Wars.

I haven't installed Warhead yet. I wanted to play CS:S again after ages. Oh I suck at that game. Beach seems to be really strange. At points I only get 20. Although it may have been a leak. I just updated my graphics drivers and BIOS so I'm going to see how much things changed. Its cool because I can actually update my Bios from within windows. If you could already do this ages ago, keep in mind that the PC that this one replaced was built in '05 with parts that were top in 2001-02. Good ole Radeon 9550 and XP3000+.

thought i would jump on the bandwagon

yay ordered new psu... 650 watter lol... new case antec 900.. and new cpu e8400 ... upgrade fromt he 300 watter.. shitty stock case and e6300 1.8 hahahha

What GFX card are you getting/have you got?

My new 260GTX OC arrived yesterday.

From 8800GTS 320, I could bump my Cyrsis settings from lvl 3 to lvl 4 with AA on x2. A significant difference in visuals, but such a small setting change for an extra $200.00
