Gigabyte 4890OC (Zalman cooled from factory)

Great looking system. Aside from the PSU cable mess at the bottom (will eventually go modular) the case is real clean inside. It took me forever to put it together because I was being so meticulous with cable routing.

The FT01 is awesome too. So quiet, yet decent air flow (huge, low RPM fans)

I love this new rig <3

Next on my upgrade list is a 5770 and at some point an SSD =P

5770 is a great card for the $.
I almost went with it, but I decided on the 4890 as I got a good deal on it. It has lots of raw power, its just not as forward compatible as the 5xxx series.

As for the SSD... Go X25 Intel.

[chuckerants]

Yup, I had a friend buy it for me at a Microcenter that sells them for $200.

The MoBo I bought used, but it can take advantage of the new Hexacore when they are released and become cheaper than a used car, I have an upgrade path.

With this i7 system, I'm Folding on the CPU and Folding on the GPU and I can still use the computer without getting annoying lags as I work, burn or rip a DVD, etc.

Have two computers:

1. Gateway CT5654 w/ an AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor and 3GB memory w/a 19" Samsung Monitor ( my Wife's computer-- sweet monitor but I DESPISE this computer.)
2. Toshiba Satellite Laptop W/ an Intel core 2 Duo processor, 3 GB Ram, 320 GB HDD, 15.4" screen, DVD Burner (my computer and it is sweet!)

 

[Cutehumor]

We have three computers in the house.

1) compaq presario sr 1800nx, 3.0 GHZ celeron. 2gb ram, linux mint/windows xp dual boot, 100 GB HD. just a basic pc for internet/email/watch tv shows online. I bought the tower off ebay for $200 two maybe 3 years ago. Intel celeron sucks with Windows XP but with linux mint, even faster.

2) sony vaio, 3.0 HT P4, 160GB HD, 2 GB ram, windows xp. wife's pc for her crazy obsession with facebook. gawd, she talks too much junk. hand me down pc from her family.

3) Free HP Compaq business 6510B laptop from work. It's a core 2 duo 1.7 GHZ processor, 2 gb ram, windows XP. this is used almost 12hrs a day/5 days a week. I use this laptop for free wifi when I go on vacations.

 

[Geonerd]

It's been a few years since I've suffered the upgrade bug. I haven't had time to play any bleeding edge games (race or flight sims, mostly) so have had no need...

AMD LE1620 single core x64. OC to 3.2G, 1M L2
Middle of the road Gigabyte board.
4G medium grade DDR 3200
ATI HD3850 vidcard.
Monstrous server case and PS rescued from the 'Dumpster of Corporate Stupidity.'
An odd assortment of 100~250G drives.
Optiac DVD R/W. (Also rescued from the DoCS) No Bluray or similar until the prices become realistic.
Audigy 2 ZS sound card off ebay for $15. Kills the on-board sound in terms of fidelity and CPU use.
Sennheiser HD280 phones, driven buy a big stereo amp/tuner. (They sound great, but aren't very efficient!)
Windoze XP / Ubuntu dual boot.

Several secondary computers that get occasional use. Most are AMD XP-class chips. 2G RAM, X800 level graphics, etc.

I build my own and tend to loiter in the 'sweet spot' of the price/performance curve. If a component costs much more than $125 it will have a hard time making it onto my system. (Occasional exceptions for Vidcards, which have a $200 limit.)

Honestly, now that the Xbox is my primary gaming device (and a far superior one

), I wish I had done a SFF build with my i5 machine instead of a gaming rig. I guess I already had the case and video card from my last build, so that pushed me to just do an update of the big machine.
