My computer has a little symbol on it saying Hp, another saying Intel Inside/Pantium 4, and another stating that this system was designed for Windows XP. It has fans on it, and get dusty inside occasionally. It has one of those flat screens and broadband.


I called him Deceptacon the Destroyer, a name lossely adapted from transformers. He does all I require with relative ease, and he can even multi-task. He threw a bit of a tanty the other day and injured his little modem, but luckily we were able to find him a new one. I know jack about computers, but I bet you couldn't tell.

Well rooks, a system like mine costs about 4g's new, but the guys at Sunlit Technology hooked me up with cost price because of my degree in web design, so in the end only cost me 2grand.


Wrongie, sounds like a sick laptop, My laptop is fairly decent, but i don't think it's as good as yours.

Nice PC as well R33F.

Got a new blue neon to put in my fully clear case today:p

Haha, Red Rocket, sure does sound like a computer to rage through the Farkin forums, but for designers like me, we gotta' we picky about our computers to look proffesional :P.

[lotec]

athalon 3800 x2 (dual core, for those who dont know them) oc'ed running 2x2750 mhz totally stable
2048 mb crucial balistix running at ddr 548 3-3-3-6
ati x1800 xl, figure its one of the first in the country, wish i waited for an xt though
dfi ut sli-d motherboard, will get one of the crossfire ones when the bugs are ironed out and xx1800 mastercards are available
some shitty OEM 16x dual layer dvd burner, its black so it matches my cm stacker (full size server case, its frigging huge, fits my dual 120mm radiator inside, along with my pump, and still massive ammounts of room
10,000 rpm 74 gig raptor drive for my os system and games, seek time of 4.5ms contemplating getting a second and running raid 0
shitty 160 gig maxtor for file storage, getting a 300 gig drive soon as well, just cant jusify forking out for the 500 gig seagate drives, maybe if i wait a while...
600 watt silverstone strider PSU
asetek waterchill extreme kit, one of the only good watercooling "kits" out there, too lazy to go custom and didnt want to wait for parts, i also have an airconditioner thats on 24/7 ducted in the front of my case, so the cold air goes in the front, through the radiator, then cools the whole case, cpu temps at full load on both cores with 1.65 volts never exceed 25 degrees, im building a chiller at the moment though, hoping for around -50 idle and -35 load, need an all metal pump though so it doesnt shit itself from the extreme cold.
soundblaster audigy 2 zs with logitech zx-5500s, 1000 watts total with a 10" sub under my desk, the satellites sound insane but the sub could be much, much clearer
22" phillips brilliance 202p, CRT monitor cost more than most lcd monitors and im glad i got it, so sharp its rediculous, and with my system i can ALMSOT game at 2048x1536 in bf2 with acceptable frame rates, maybe when ati releases some REAL drivers for my video card i can clock it higher and it will be ok atm i just go to 1600x1200 and never drop below 40 fps mostly stay at 60-80 and ive seen it over 100, in bf2 with ALL settings maxed out
also have a 120mm fan blowing directly on my ram from inside the case cause at 3.1v they get kinda warm and toasty, as ballistix do, even at stock 2.6v :p
and of course im running xp pro :P

oh yea, my computer doesnt have a floppy drive.
if anyone wants some pics ill post some later



edit: scotty my computer is teh pwnz0rs urs, ive waited a long time to say that :P

[Caine]

:rolleyes: How much have you spent on that computer! and i'd like some pics to see if its worth the money

......its sad you waited to say that....

[lotec]

too bloody much, just under 3 grand just for whats in the case, not including monitor / speakers etc, it sorta got real expensive real fast, i was joking about waiting to say that to scotty lol, i just remember ages ago when we had a competition over who had more hdd space LOL (and i still lose there! :O )
sorry about shitty pics, taking pictures of a light is hard :(

as you can see my chiller gets really, really cold, that bin had 30l of tap water in it, and the chiller was only on for around 40 minutes, need denatured alcohol... (pure antifreeze would still freeze LMFAO) turned it off after then cause i heard cracking, i think coming from the bin :S
edit: yes as you can see under my sub i bought an oscillosope (spelling) to test vcore voltage, im such a nerd *insert nerd smiley*

[Ruckus_Lord]

I want to be like your computer when i grow up lotec.

Argh, it's so trippy!!! There's so many things in 1 big computer!!!!!

That's a very sexy...yet confusing machiene, i'm aiming to have mine somewhat like that....after DJ bike....

Oh and is the a DYI case i see??....Looks swish:cool:

What makes those pritty fluro green tubes light up??

Fuckn' awsome computer dude......

[lukethedork]

my computer isnt all that good but i'll post it anyway

Pentium D 830 (3.00ghz 800mhz FSB 2mb L2 Cache)
[2x512mb kingston ddr2 (somthing) ram +
2x512mb ddr2 (dunno, came with dell) =
2gb ddr2 ram]
ASUS Extreme 6600GT 128mb ddr3 (515mhz core speed)
Windows XP Home Edition (SP2)
Intel 150gb HDD
Logitech MX518
Dell 1704FPT (flat screen 12ms response? DVI)
CDRW/DVD (dont know what brand and dont care)
Intel 945P Express Chipset (dunno what board it is on. integrated 5.1 sound)
umm, what else is in a computer... =/ eh well dunno. thats mine anyway...

[lotec]

its a coolermaster cm stacker 810 case, the tubes are for the watercooling, they have uv reactive dye in them and as you can see i have 2 UV lights :D thanks for compliments, since i havent been able to ride its sorta all i do now :(
edit: im surprised no one commented on the fact i used bluetack as insulation on the fan wires and to hold my radiator in place, and a wooden skewer to hold the fan cooling the ram :D
edit x2: if you were talking about my side window being DIY then yep your right, the case comes with wire mesh over there anda filter, and normally has a fan in there, because i have an aircon in the case it just pulls warmer air in so i got rid of the side fan, to cut back noise i just cut out the sheet of perspex and was going to put in on there with the mesh, but then i saw it looked kinda cool by itself so i just left it, im not gonna cut all the supports for the fan off either, i think they look pretty good, just bring a bit of contrast, i hate full windows with nothing breaking them up :) (the edge of the windows a little dodgy because i used a drill bit in a dremmel to cut it :P
any my wire managment is horrible, i didnt put in too much work because ididnt have a window to start with, i might get around to cleaning it up a bit... one day
