You car is HOT

Sorry about the slight mess, this is honestly the worst its been in a while, will have to do a thorough cleanup tomorrow. anyway this is my setup it's nothing fancy but it works(I'm basically adding good parts to a crappy base)but w/e.

Nice keg.

haha thanks its actually a money box to hold all of my spare change, weighs a good couple of kilos now

Well its been a while since i last posted my setup



Full Size!

If anyone in Perth wants a nice rig I'm trying to sell mine

~$1800 and you can have the tower.

X79-ud5, i7 3820, 16gb 2133mhz DDR3, real nice clocking 7970
128gb m4 ssd, 1tb Wd black, 2tb wd green
All housed in a purty silver stone tj11 with way too much money spent on water cooling! (Well over a thousand bucks worth, mainly aqua computer gear)

Bull **** fast rig that's damn near silent

Run the CPU at 4.5ghz and gpu at 1125/1575 but both can go a lot faster if you feel the need

Still got a few 24" dell ultrasharp ips screens to get rid of as well $200 each

Actually, 2k and u can have tower, 24" screen + KB mouse speakers webcam etc....
Note: the mouse even has an LCD in it lol!

Rig is SOLD!
Guess I won't be playing fridays nights for a while but I'll be back eventually!

FUN FACT: My Laptop has a touchpad without regular mouse buttons. So what I do is I redefine the controls for the mouse buttons to be the F Key and the Q Key. I aim with my finger on the touchpad and I move/shoot with the keyboard. It took me a very long time to get used to this method, but i've gotten pretty damn good at it.

If you never see me strafing right and shooting, it's because the shoot key (F) is right next to the strafe right key (d)...

Well This is an old topic but here is my setup


So the setup on the left is my computer and the one on the right is my server machine

Updated my rig again

User was warned for this post

Loving the CRT

Well here's my current setup at the moment.
Needs a bit of work but it will do for the time being.

Note the awesome monitor stand consisting of an old IBM and an old DELL machine with the base wedged between the desk and the wall for added stability

Need a bigger picture Nick

Sorry, stupid site changes it to thumbnail size.
Worked fine on my pc but when I looked on my phone I saw the tiny picture.
Should be fixed now

SWEET!

Fender stratocaster?

Noah just an old knockabout unfortunately

Gave my PC an upgrade today since I had to drive to Perth anyway. Rockin gtx 670s in sli now
Can't wait to get home and try out borderlands 2 with high physx. Hope it can keep up now!

edit: Heres some pics of my rig atm, wires are a giant mess thanks to only have 2 pci-e power cables, had to hook up 2 strings of molex cables and use adapters.. So ugly :/
Oh well, this case is only a temp until I get my hands on a 350D or something so I won't go to too much effort

I think I have the same CPU fan

I would hope BL2 is fantastic on the rig.

Haha cool, what sort of heatsink is it? lol
Came with the bundle when I bought the cpu, mother board and ram.
Is it a thermaltake or something?

Unfortunately BL2 doesn't make great use of SLI. It helps, but not much. Still does pretty well anyway

Still a powerful setup, Nice to play DayZ with everything maxxed out except for AA and getting 90+fps
Single card struggled regardless of settings.

Source engine games are a laugh, both cards underclock themselves to 200 mhz below the base clock and still only need to run at maybe 30% usage each to keep counter-strike source at its default limit of 300 fps even with 16x AA enabled hahahaha

Pretty happy with it so far, loving blood dragon

Almost tempted to buy battlefield 3, I got a cracked copy as I don't wanna install origin but SLI doesn't seem to agree with it. Need an updated version.
Still, few graphical glitches aside it was pulling around 180fps in ultra

Im glad you're smart enough to use 2 x EVGA cards for the SLI

Dear god, next round of upgrades start today hahahaha.



Gunna pick up a z87x-oc and a i7 4770k today

I really need a cheaper hobby, Just had a look at ple's website and I've spent over 2 grand just at the one shop in the last 3 months!

Let alone the ebay stuff like my shiny new 2560x1440 120Hz monitor....

*sigh*

So when am I going to be catch up with you and your car?

hahaha, knew I forgot something

Pay off the last of my upgrades tomorrow, then I'm gunna focus on the car.
Poor girls rotting away in the sun... :'(

Haven't really been bothered with it lately since I've got the work ute to drive around in anyway.

Plus I'm pretty well over this job now, so I'm thinking rebuild then engine, pack my **** up and drive back to QLD  

just looked at this thread again and lol'd looking at my old setup.
here's an update to show how bad I am at not spending money / time on the computer

still a long way off where I want it to be, but steady progress
....and no, the car still isn't running lol but I do have plans for that. (may involve selling this PC so I've got an excuse to start again later lol)



edit: still got the same case, ssd and video cards as the last photo anyway
