Iszuka™ 10 Posted August 2, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post

Iszuka™ 10 Posted August 2, 2012 This is seriously overkill though... It's pretty standard in today's market. I regret buying such a cheap case and PSU though. Quote Share this post Link to post

Biggles 44 Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks storm, now a picture of you standing in the tub with nothing but the computer covering you Quote Share this post Link to post
Iszuka™ 10 Posted August 2, 2012 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?

Shadow 0 Posted December 10, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post

Iszuka™ 10 Posted December 11, 2012 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 Posted December 11, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post
Tiny 16 Posted December 11, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post
