Post up your rigs with pics if possible (I'll have some up of mine soon) and talk shop!  |
Very nice! I have a pretty weak/standard layman's setup that covers internet usage and WoW decently enough:
Phenom II 955 Quad Core 3.2GHz CPU
1TB 7200rpm Hitachi HD
8GB DDR3 RAM
GTX460 (768MB GDDR5) Graphics Card
500 Watt Power supply
Gigabyte motherboard
Cheap Dell monitor
Nothing else really note-worthy
I built my M4 carbine.
I paid off my debt.
I experienced owning a supercar and am about to down-size into a 370Z.
I am in saving money-buying land-building a house mode, now. I probably won't build a killer PC until I have the house built, so I hope this PC lasts me for a few years. I want to build when I am 30. Less than a month from 26, now. Goal is to have moved by the end of next year and have paid off the land I buy (25-50 acres I am looking for) by the time I am 29, and by 30, put 20% down on a house and build.
