Mine totally blows all ya'lls outta the water.  hehehehe


CPU - P4 3.2ghz HyperThread
RAM - 2gigs DDR2 667
GPU - ATI x1300 PCI slot  (yes, original PCI)
Monitor - HP 19in 4:3 1280 by 1024
Speakers - Logitech z5500 5.1 setup
OS - XP Service Pack 2.something
HD - 7200 rpm 250gigs

So yea, end of thread.  I totally rock your socks off.

I'm pretty much wating for Diablo 3 to come out, by that time I'll be set with USB 3.0.  I have a PS3 and a Wii to hold me over until then, and my current rig handles Half Life 2 at realllllly nice mid range settings framerates.  It's almost nice not being able to play current PC games.  Only choosing to upgrade every few years almost makes it like you're buying a new console, with the huge back catelog you have to catch up on.

Vista HP 64bit
AMD Phenom 9850BE. Zalman cnps 9700 cooler
Biostar TA780G M2+ HP mobo. Board will not allow overclocking for whatever reason.
Even though it has built in bios auto/manual overclocking features, but it won't let me touch them.
so I guess I'll never know what this black edition phenom is capable of unless I get something else.
Radeon 4850 w/ Thermalright T-rad2 cooler. OC'd 700core 1k memory.

Western Digital 7200rpm 250gig HD
Sony cdrw/dvdr drive
Coolermaster lan case. Don't remember the name, but it's convenient as hell.

Updated system specs:

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.6GHz
Heatsink - ZEROTherm Nirvana
MOBO - EVGA 750i FTW
Memory - 8gigs of Mushkin DDR2 running at 4-4-4-12
Hard Drives - 150 Raptor, 320 WD, 500GB Seagate, 750GB WD, 1TB Seagate
Video Card - EVGA GTX 280

Monitor - LG 23" 1920x1080
Mouse - Logitech G5
Mouse Pad - QCK+
OS - Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP2
Case - Thermaltake Kandalf (removed panels and other junk from it)

Final upgrade will be a Q9550 with a CoolerMaster V8. Which will occur by the end of the year being that Q9550s are down to about 220 USD. So 300 dollar upgrade to maximize my system pretty much seems like a good idea :p

Built mine a little more than year ago. Specs are from memory.

Antec Sonata 3
Core 2 Duo E7200
Gigabyte EP35-DS3L
4GB Corsair DDR2
160GB Seagate Barracuda I had laying around
E-VGA 9600GT
Logitech G5 Mouse
No-frills Logitech keyboard
24 inch BenQ LCD

Wasn't anything amazing at the time, but I wanted something with a bigger screen and just enough power to push it in the games I was interested in. Still happy with it.

It's a piece of shit with a screen. Might as well be called the "Giantbomb and Asian Porn Rig" as that's pretty much all it does, and it can't even do those things together so no need to worry.

A X-Fi isn't going to give you much benefit from Vista onwards.  MS changed the way Windows handles sound so it can never work well for how Creative designed their system.  If they want to stay afloat as a business they're going to have to re engineer their entire system.  So basically don't get any Creative sound card for the time being.

A X-Fi isn't going to give you much benefit from Vista onwards.  MS changed the way Windows handles sound so it can never work well for how Creative designed their system.  If they want to stay afloat as a business they're going to have to re engineer their entire system.  So basically don't get any Creative sound card for the time being.

Thanks for that, I'll keep it in mind.

That's as much work as I'm willing to put forth. I have other parts, but I don't feel like getting that information out. This was all collected using CPU-Z.
