Yes. I was worried about the fan being damaged in shipping and then I realized the CPU didn't need it.

:lol: It's doing great right now. Running Vista x64 Enterprise. Just cos.


Gets 3040 in 3DMark06.

Sharp Aquos 32" 1080p (LC32D62U)
 

system specs on the left. new screen today. Needs calibrating though. Red text is over-saturated. Damned dynamic-contrast...

Sold the motherboard, processor and RAM on Fleabay and bought my new stuff. Should be here 9/11 :bleh2: currently it's in New Mexico....

Still havent done my room but ive moved everything round hehe

looking at youre room crip, it doesn't make me feel at all bad on the craptastic painting job i did in my flat. ahh. :heart:

haha well i keep getting asked by my mom to do it .."James i'll help you decorate your room"


but it never gets done :cry: but on the other hand i love it because of the history behind peoples tags and names on my walls :)

Seems as though we have a gang bangin R3D member -.-

Don't be offended but how the heck have you gotten yourself in that kind of a ********? The floor looks like someone took a dump on it and the wall seems to have damage caused by water.

Dude WHAT IS THAT RESIDUE ON THE FLOOR!.

Get a bottle.

Ns looking rig btw.

so why are youso into the twin towers? I know you drew that a long time ago... but i see it on your background as well. Just curious.

im a big believer in the 9/11 conspiracy ... it dosent show it but i have loose change DVD's on the left and other random 9/11 stuff :)

And the moon landing was staged also.......:rolleyes:

On another note..



This is my "new" desk I got at a garage sale for 7 bucks. I like it much more than the old little desk.

And my cat has a stool to sit next to me and sleep while I game or whatever.. :D

I like the setup... but what wrong with your LCD?:confused: It looks like its missing viewing space on both sides:p ... i am j/k:heart:

That cat is scaring me :(

so your saying you are scared of pussy:bleh: ......:lol:

ahaha im still a 18 old virgin -.-

is your computer next to a wet bar?
..and a fridge?
almost looks like your computer is in the kitchen
with.. carpet :hmm:

The "kitchen" is just to the left of that picture. That is part of the kitchen counter there. At first it seemed a strange place to setup shop for my computer. When my wife and I first moved into this house, we decided that instead of using the "spare bedroom" or the basement as a computer gaming area, we'd setup in the living room (its a pretty big living area). Being able to see out the front of the house (big front windows) while sitting and playing some games is nice.

That and this is an old house, without furnace. The woodstove is here in the living room. We could probably put the computers in the spare bedroom and use the computers to heat the room, but we dont want to have to hibernate in a bedroom to stay warm all winter either.

Edit : And where do you see a fridge?

:lol: at surround sound speakers 6" apart :cool::up:

ROFL:lol: NS job painting the case btw.

I had little stands for them to have them sitting behind me. They just kinda get in the way. Here on the desk, they take up too much room. I'm likely just going to end up hanging them on the wall above left and right. If Im gaming anything important, Im using my headphones anyways.

:drool: Love the customization!

New Internals are here!
 

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
CPU - Intel Xeon X3210 2.13Ghz Cloverton
Cooler - Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
RAM - Buffalo Firestix DDR2-800 PC6400 2x1Gb

Got my new stuffs in last night, here's the :Pics:

Now, which cooler to use? Hmmmm...
Yeah, lets put the stock cooler back in the box. I wiped the pre-applied stuff off the AC Freezer 7 Pro and laid some lines of Artic Silver 5 down.

Assembled :Pics:, with my X1950Pro, Hauppauge WinPVR 500, 80Gb Raptor (System disk), 300Gb 7200.10 (Data drive). Notice I added a 40mm fan to the northbrige, happened to have a Gigbabyte fan from an old motherboard laying around, and decided to add it on.


And yes, my PC does have a sticker on it saying "Save The Ta Ta's!" - you get free stickers with shirts you buy from SaveTheTaTas.Com, so where better to put it?

Haven't tried OC'ing yet - watch for my thread about the coming soon...

Stock performance? Excellent. I ran the [email protected] WinSMP client overnight, and I'm getting 2000 PPD. :evil: Temps are 50C for Core 0, down to 45 for Core 3, under load. The noisiest part of the system is the raptor, when it's chattering away, but it doesn't do that much.

Its hard to get a good picture of the interior customization, but when I first got this case, I totally striped it down of everything, and coated the inside with that clear coat glow in the dark paint. (there are two simple black lights in the case for charging the paint) Its quite a nice effect when the room is a bit on the darker side, however with my camera, its difficult to catch the beauty of it.

The old side panel (the one without the huge fan) I replaced the plexiglass to rid the window of the ThermalTake logo. I still have yet to do that to this particular panel because of the fan. One day, I'll get around to removing the grill for the large fan and get the blue paint on it as well.

Nice new equipment there Jim. :up:

Show off :mad::mad:

Nice pc fella , sorry i replied late i got side tracked ;):lol:

Yeah it's definitely very nice. But I'm planning to get a 24" or 30" LCD monitor in future. :D
