.I was looking at the PC forums, and I noticed something: There was no thread explicitly for bragging about hardware. I could not stand for this travesty, and took steps to rectify the problem immediately. This is the result.

Ok, anyway, here's mine:

OS: Windows Vista Business x64/ Ubuntu 8.10 x64
CPU: Intel E8500 (OC'd)
Mobo: XFX 780i SLI
Memory: DDR2 800 OCZ Reaper (4x2GB)
Video: SLI ZOTAC 8800GT (x2)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (3x500GB)
Case: XCLIO Windtunnel

Other thoughts: I have aftermarket cooling on both GPU's and on the CPU. It is really more necessary on the CPU though. I have the CPU OC'd to 3.8Ghz (brought FSB up to 1600). I have gotten the cpu above 4.0GHz stabely, but the RAM is the bottleneck, unless  I have it under 800MHz, and getting the CPU that hight isn't really necessary. Also, I am not sure I have ever used all 8 gigs of memory, so unless you are gonna do multimedia editing, I wouldn't bother putting that much into a gaming rig.


Anyway, thats all for me. Ask questions, make comments, or post your own configuration. or even all three. Really. I won't stop you.

I don't know my exact specs, all I know is it chugs when playing GTA San Andreas. I think it will catch fire if I try to run something that came out within the past 12 months

P.S I totally stole the guys layout above me.

I will add to my hardware list -- I use a Logitech G5 mouse, a G11 keyboard, and occasionally an Xbox-360 controller (mostly on ported games without good kb/m controlls).

Also, just a general hardware comment, I am glad to see, as an Nvidia loyalist, that they are back on top (with the new GTX295 topping ATI's 4870x2, as well as being (very slightly) cheaper).

Processor:	Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory:	4GB RAM but according to 32bit vista, 2556MB RAM
Hard Drive:	739 GB
Video Card:	Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 SLI
Monitor:	Samsung 50" DLP HDTV
Sound Card:	Speakers (Creative SB X-Fi)

and Vista 32-bit
Some wireless Logitech Keyboard and Mouse and for a mouse pad I'm using the Snes Mario Paint mousepad lol..."

MrGetBonus: You have a kick ass setup, but really should upgrade to x64 OS as guy above me mentioned.  That GTX 280 SLI alone is taking up 2GB out of 4GB.

Vista HP 64bit
AMD Phenom 9850BE 2.5gig Zalman cnps 9700 cooler 28c idle 35c load, fan almost off.
Biostar T-Series mobo
Radeon 4850 Thermalright T-rad2 cooler OC 700core 1k mem 30c idle 40c load
4gigs G-Skill DDR2 1066mhz mem
Western Digital 7200rpm 250gig HD
Sony cdrw/dvdr drive
Coolermaster lan case. Don't remember the model, but it's convenient as hell.

If I could get the phenom to OC I would, because my cooler isn't being pushed at all, but I can't get the damn mobo to let me do it. The black editions were supposed to have unlocked multipliers, but the mobo doesn't give me the option to overclock at all besides the custom OC feature it has, and even that doesn't work. sigh.
