What are you guys running?

Post pics if possible.

I recently built myself a new computer after my old one fried.

AMD Bulldozer x6 core 3.3GHz

4GB DDR3 Kingston RAM

ATI Radeon HD 3850 1GB Graphics card

WDC 300GB HDD

Compared to my old Dell Xeon server box i've used int he past, it's a monster.

I used to play at 30fps on a good day with all graphics on low.

Now i can get 100fps on full graphics settings.

i would but you know what i run, this is seriously overkill though...

[Iszuka™ 10]

This is seriously overkill though...

It's pretty standard in today's market. I regret buying such a cheap case and PSU though.

[Not So Heavy 0]

yeah you should get that yellow one with the big fan, itll be perfect

[tweep 3]

I can't be arsed to take pics, but I have:

Saphire radeon 6870 graphics card

3.1GHz i5 processer

1TB hard drive

4GB ram

So yeah, this is a pretty decent PC - mainly due to the graphics card. Built this in February, so it's quite new.

Currently I have this desktop ( 5 years old ):

NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.40GHz

600GB Hard Drive ( have a 500GB external )

4GB RAM

Soon I'll be getting a laptop for my studies:

A picture:

The specs:

OS Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

CPU Intel Core i7-3610QM Quad Core

Chipset Ivy Bridge

Memory 8GB 1600MHZ DDR3 1DM

Hard Drive 24GB Flash Module + 750GB 7200RPM

Optic Media Blu-ray R/RE DVD+/-RW SM DL UB

Monitor 17.3" LED-achtergrondlicht anti-glans met volledige HD WVA 1920 x 1080 / Full HD

Graphics card AMD FirePro M4000

Connection 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR , Gigabit Ethernet , fax/modem

Battery 6-cell, long life 3yr warranty 55wHr

Normally costs 3500€ as it's a business laptop, but school sells to us for 1800€. I'd say it's pretty nice for a laptop. Will still be using my desktop at home though.

Thanks storm, now a picture of you standing in the tub with nothing but the computer covering you

[Iszuka™ 10]

I've never been happy with HP, im my experience they're pretty cheap when it comes to hardware.

This Dell Inspiron 1545 i use for everything except gaming, has never failed me. Heck it's running as well as it was the first day i got it, and more.

And Biggles what crack you on?

gravedigging ftw. What I posted up here is what I have now. It can run sooooooooooooo much shit so smoothly. Still wondering why Photoshop can take up over 2GB RAM though. 3DS Max doesn't even take that much as is far more advanced ( but also fucking glitchy as shiiiiiiiiit ).

I still say desktops are better for gaming even though this can run anything. for specs scroll up.

I'm scrolling, nothing Is happening :(

Currently thinking of getting a new chassis.

I like the look of Bitfenix designs...

Shinobi

It comes in black or white, with or without a plastic window. The logo on the front is replaceable with black, chrome, gold or white logos. The two grill things down the front are also replaceable with different colours.

It's compatible with liquid cooling.

[McLovin 4]

I dont really pay much attention to the chassis. However after saying that I just realised my chassis has a touch screen and multiple moving slots. Aswell it has 2 Brackets for 2 harddrives..... Yea DEM irony.

[Tiny 16]

Guys, wuss the best cooling system?

I know you can get normal heatsinks, tubular heat sinks and liquid cooling. I heard that liquid was the best but thought i'd defer to you lot just in case.
