Yay for me!

[TentamusDarkblade]

I've finally got myself a good computer.

 

AMD Athlon 64 3400+

ASUS K8VSE-DLX mobo

2 x 512 Kingston ddr400 RAM

Seagate 200GB SATA 7200RPM 8MB hard drive

ATI Radeon 9800 pro 256MB

Spiffy ANTEC run quiet case

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers

 

Total = $1197

 

Next:

19" Acer LCD monitor

 

 

Ok, just had to share...it's not as much fun getting new toys if you can't brag about it

Bastard.

[TentamusDarkblade]

oh, the joy of basking in the love of fellow forum regulars

 

:D

[Judge Hades]

Hey, could you give me $1200 so that I can get a new system like that. I am a poor gamer that could use an upgrade. I'll give you "Spies Like Us" DVD in trade. :D

[TentamusDarkblade]

how about a hug...i'll trade you a hug for "Spies like us"

[Sarjahurmaaja.]

Your speaker config sucks.

[TentamusDarkblade]

how so?

[Judge Hades]

I would have gone 7.1 surround sound but 2.1 is decent enough.

 

 

Um, a hug? Sorry, I am not a touchy feelie type person.

come on visc, i know deep down there is a touchy feely huggy person just dying to bust loose

 

I looked at doing a 7.1 system, but with my gaming style and my apartment setup, i figured that i wouldn't get to really enjoy the positional audio. So i went with loud instead.

Bastard!

 

I mean, congratulations!

Thanks

 

I bought it so i could start modding, kinda getting inspired by you and the fanout crew (yup, even volourn).

I still love how my computer is almost 2 years old now, and still a kickass machine.

 

Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz

2 GB Ram

2x 80GB HD

GeForce 4 Ti4600

Samsung 19" Magicbright.

 

And my motherboard is something crazy. Needed to be to get the dual Xeons. Has on board 5.1 sound and gigabit lan. Bought it Jan 2003 for 4200 bucks CAD. Probably get the same thing for 2500 now.

 

Bought it to do 3D modeling. Ended up using it for gaming mostly. Once I have money I need to get me some new speakers and upgrade the processors.

Yeah, very solid rig. Only weak point is the graphics card, but thats an easy fix.

[EnderAndrew]

If you're running dual-Xeons, and you have all that processing power, I hope you're running SATA drives at the very least. It's a shame when the HDD's are slowing down a powerful rig.
