My primary desktop: a little bit of old and a little bit of new. Inside this Lian Li PC-61 (which defies picture taking in the dark for some reason; soon to be retro-ified with one of their older back/motherboard trays when my order arrives) there's a nine year-old SoundBlaster Live! (the motherboard has a daughter card with a SPDIF-out, I just threw my old sound card in this tower a week ago, it can't be seen in these pictures), an AMD San Diego 3700+ (under a beautiful Swiftech MCX64-V; another Swiftech MCX159-CU on my Abit AN8 motherboard), a NVidia Geforce 7900 GT (with the volume tamed by a Zalman VF900-Cu), a Seasonic 500W PSU, Plextor CD/DVD burner, four Seagate HDDs (two IDE: a 80 GB and a 120 GB; two SATA raid-1: 160 GB), and 1 GB Corsair nothing-special RAM (2 GB can wait until I get bored and redo the whole thing in a year or two with whatever the current flavor is).

Quiet enough (always working to get it quieter, of course; I need new case fans with less bearing noise) and perfect for all of my uses (mostly programming in Linux, my home-OS for longer than I can remember).

Oh, and as long as we're showing off our respective toys, here's the new computer headphones too.

I waiting for my wife to send me BF2 and a couple other games. Right now Solitaire doesn't seem to be a problem for it.

 

[Bryce_H]

Try to do as much of this from memory as I can

10 GB Generic HD(for all my backup files - like Microsoft Money)

My computer is always in an evolutionary state - it is never done. I also built a computer for my wife to do basic word processing and email. In the middle of building an HTPC (once I get some more free cash) to go in the dedicated basement theater.

I couple of years ago I was big into OC my components - Had a Athlon XP 2500+ Barton at 3200+ that I had unlocked. But I burned out the memory and the MB, so I figured it just wasn't worth it anymore.

No pics of the new rig.

You think that red hook is sufficient to hold the headset? LOL

Nice picture and lights show.

Yes, but this IS the steam vent

Since you are so hard core, I have a Q

Recently, a few weeks ago, my computer started to reboot by itself more and more frequently until it was not usable. Had it looked at but to replace the hard drive, inexpensive, labor to recover old critical data enough to buy new computer, got one.
Then, I tried the old again to recover anything I could, I did much of it, but then another try, not even video shows up.
Afterwards, I tired the old hard drive as a slave in another computer, works fine.
Power supply issues maybe? The Bios showed low voltages and system temp in the red, even on start-up, before the video issue.

You probly answered your own question.

Bad psu? probly not. It's most likely overheating.

If it is the psu, I'd check the caps on the mobo to see if any are, protruding or blown.

Make sure your heatsinks are seated correctly.

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

Im no computer tech, nor do I do any gaming or anything that would require anything particularly fancy, but these are mine.

AMD Athlon 3200+ (2.2GHz)
512 DDR SDRAM
160GB HD

As for the other stuff???

LOL...... What other stuff?

 

[Haoleb]

Main PC:

Dell 8300


Pentium 4 3.2 ghz 800mhz FSB with HT (prescott & it runs cool)
512 ram (yeah i know)
160 gig HDD SATA
DVD rom
DVDRW
Geforce 5200fx or something.. (128mb) with DVI & Analog
Audigy 2 soundcard

Dell 17" ultrasharp LCD on the DVI and Dell (sony trinitron) 19" flat screen CRT on the Analog

Backup PC

Pentium 3 866mhz
80 gig seagate HDD
cdrom and cdrw drives
364k memory
some kind of creative sound card and generic video card
dell 17" crt (or maybe 15 i dunno)

I use the backup pc to keep my music and pics on incase i need to wipe my main computer or the HDD dies. Also good when one goes down and I need to get online or something. They are networked together and share a Canon printer thats hooked into the backup pc. The little thing on the very left atop my shelves is my headphone amp for use with my grado 125's but I mainly use it as a preamp for listening to music off the PC into my stereo on the other end of the room. which kicks the headphones *** into last century. Im currently just using my computer at work until i get my broadband hooked up at home which should happen next week.

That was my first computer. I was the third owner, but it was free. I saw the original invoice, it was something like $3500 for the computer and an extra $1500 for the ten meg hard card. Built like a tank. It never wore out, just became drastically obsolete.

Nice picture and lights show.

I used to have 3 sets of cans on that hook, so it needed to be big.

Hey, you buy a 200watt amp for little bookshelfs. My cans are never falling.

Wait till you see my new case. The lights will be Everywhere, and the PSU is modular, so there will be no wire mess.... arrarahghghara *drools*

Here is my machine, Ripper MkIX (ninth gen full-tower PC..all of my gamerigs have been full-towers)

Athlon64 4000+ San Diego core (no overclocking for me, I like my gamerigs quiet and cool running) w/ Arctic Cooling Freezer64 Pro (AS5 thermal compound in use)
2GB ram (2 x 1gb)
1tb hard disk space (1 200gb samsung (windows drive), 2 x 400gb Seagate drives, all PATA)
Nforce4 SLI motherboard (DFI Infity)
Geforce 7800GT PCI-e 256mb w/ Arctic Cooling Silencer (once again AS5 compound used)
Lian-li PC-72 full tower (sca rack gutted, mesh grille put in it's place, 14" acoustic foam lining on all internal panels, unused fan ducts blocked off with exception of the top 12mm duct since it fits in with my convection cooling design I came up with)
two 80mm Vantec stealth fans on the back of the case to pick up where the convection cooling stops (that cooling method was devised around an athlon XP system)
Antec Neopower 480w PSU

That machine makes me tingle just thinking about it. For all practical reasons it can be considered a slient PC, yet it's powerful enough for gaming.
