This is one of my P.C's (Custom built by me!)

Dual 9800's SLI
Dualcore Processor
2 2gb Corsair sticks
MSI Board
1tb HDD
Dual Boot and much more.



This is my Desktop. The elongated pic with the standalone anime girl is the computer detecting my Philips Ambilight Plasma is hooked up to it. When I take a screen shot, the t.v is somehow captured as well. FyI: Not the same background. It changes every other day it seems.



Now... Let's see yours!!!

WarHead sucked IMO. The graphics were blah and the story was blah. Expansions are great but this one could have been better. I think Crysis came out too early. The average pc gaming world couldn't even play this game.

On another note, I love the Half-Life 2 and the episodes followed PLUS Portal!!!

hadn't started warhead yet although i have it . and def half-life2 deal keep on playing.
as for not aible to play crysis thats why i built this at the time just havn't got the time or the money at the moment to rebuild. with in turn gives me the chance to save some cash and waite for the new amd am3 serie's kit to come out .thats my next step i think.

Weeelllll One of these threads hehehe

I voted twice. Once for my desktop, running XP, and once for my Macbook Air, obviously running OSX.

I can't do screenshots of my desktop since my PSU conked out the other day and I haven't bought a new one yet, but I took a picture of my tower, at least. It's getting a bit outdated but it still does well.

And as for the Air? Pah, I love it. Couldn't speak higher of the hardware OR the software. Love everything about it. Apple's stuff is damn expensive though... ^^

These are mediocre pictures... And of course it's off, so it doesn't have all of the cool blue lights xD

It's a Pentium D 940... I have a Scythe HSF on there, it's absolutely massive, but it's totally silent, since it's a 1,000 rpm fan - just takes a tiny little bit of flow to cool all those fins.

2 GiB or Ram, and around 900 GiB of hdd space

tbh i don't even remember what the graphics card is. I'm looking at a new one.

I'll build you one twisty! What do you want it to do? Gaming, Downloa/upload, media, other?
I'm looking for a basic 1.8 ish for online shit like this.. play a few games.. mostly civ. 4 and a shooter or two..nothing too hardcore on graphics.. I'm using a win 98, 667mhz, old booter, but I can't really watch you tube stuff its too jerky, on a slow day page changes can take minutes... I don't need to be able to launch the space shuttle..just a basic comp..I've asked a bunch of guys and had prices from $150... to about 250, used .. a new Dell is about $377. what price range sounds right to you for a rebuilt..?:eyesmoke:

Im sure we can transfer parts from your old pc to the new one. But you will need some new things. GPU @ about $80 ddr2 ram @ $20 and a mobo @ $40. Everything else can be taken from your original. I'm sure you have an IDE HDD and your processor is hopefully an LGA 775. All together your looking at $140 for internals. Add about another $30 for a black case. Total $170 and we can have you gaming and surfing properly in no time!!

Use this site to get stuff. Its super reliable and dirt cheap. I use it all the time with no hassles.
