Hi Guys,

Skimming through your forum as ours is down and caught this thread. I will post some pictures of my budget banger. Runs great and cool but the CPU is holding the card back a lot even clocked @ 3.8.

E8400 @ 3.8-4GHZ

4gb of Crucial Ballistix

XFX 260GT O/C

X-Fi X-treme music

Windows 7 Ultimate 64

Silly P182. Might have to get a lian li :P

SwarleyAUS · 12-03-2010, 10:16 PM

My system recently got and upgrade to an Intel Core Quad Q9650 @ 3.0GHz (12MB of L2 cache =O), 4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM, and an old ATI HD4850 512MB running on an ASUS P5Q. im using W7 Pro 64, but having problems with driver compatability so anyone who uses old programs i would recommend staying with the 32 bit edition for the time being.

for peripherals i use a 2005 model G15 which i love =D and an awesome Microsoft Sidewinder X8 mouse, shame about my now tiny 17" LCD, but until i finish uni and get a better job im pov; so can only either save money for cars, or spend money on my PC... i hate saving =(

while i7's are all the rage now, this thing runs everything except GTAIV on full graphics (including Crysis... until Crysis 2 comes out =/) and i love it!!

Intel C2D E6600 @ 3.2 ghz

Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3P

8Gb Kingston Hyper X 1066Mhz

2 x Seagate 500Gb single patter in RAID 0

4 x WD 750Gb

XFX 1Gb 4980

Thermaltake Tough Power 750W PSU

Coolermaster CM Stacker 830

Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit

Logitech G15 Keyboard

Logitech MX518 mouse

Razer Exactmat mouse pad

1x 24" Acer LCD

1 x 22" Acer LCD

Monitors stacked on an Adtec vertical desk stand

Logitech z5500 speakers

Couple of years old but does the job, waiting to see what comes after i7 before upgrading again. Its got enough slots for tri sli, but not needed as the 4890 does everything i need.

Would be nice to have a quad core but i don't do enough encoding work to justify the extra cores

MazdaGTI · 15-03-2010, 04:47 PM

We have Touch Pro 2 in shop 659$ and new.

And my PDA and Smartphone is in use not been or broken. Now I thinking about Tatto to place of 8310, let the granny to oldnes wacation. For replace 9000 is best Shift but price is overpriced, sheeper is to buy somekind 8,9" netbook.

Clean_Cookie · 15-03-2010, 08:40 PM

why the touch 2 pro when you could have LEO

outbakoz · 15-03-2010, 10:35 PM

RustyKaos · 16-03-2010, 08:15 AM

70NYD · 02-06-2010, 11:19 PM

niice

i just got a new comp last week cus my old one shat itself (well the 8800GTX512 did but i need a new procesor anyway

Asus P6T SE and a 960 (not oc, not going to be

) so at 3.2Ghz
triple channel matched 6Gb of ram 1600Mhz (board has room for 3 more

)
GTX470 1280MB
powered by a corsair TX 850
all on a 7 64bit system

2233BW samsung screen (will be replacing it with RX, this one is almost 2 years old now and i want 3D)
and a whole heap of crappy hard drives haha (i tend to keep **** from over the years and rather than deleting i just get new hdd

)

my old comp was amd athlon 64 X2 (6000+ yeah right more like 5600lol) with 4Gb of ram and the GTX8800 with 512mb of ram and a 600W power supply (mind you i got this just before crysis came out, the original one in jan 2008 and it ran fine up untill sunday 2 weeks ago when it went belly up and kept blu screening from what i gathered was either a total cpu failure or a gpu overheating and failure)
