i built it a while ago, it was damn nice back then and is still a very nice machine to date. works very well for me. P35-DS3L mobo / C2D E6550 CPU / Gigabyte 4GB DDR2 RAM (2x2GB) / XFX 8800GT GPU / WD 500GB HDD / CoolerMaster Mystique Case once i get some money together i'll probably put together another machine. this one does great though it was funny because i bought it with intentions of playing all the latest games (this would play Crysis fine) and i still just ended up just playing CS1.6

i used to have a pretty decent pc but i sold it in june. 320gb HDD 6gb ddr2 geforce 9800gtx+ core 2 quad 3.0 ghz running a dell xps laptop now which can pretty much only run css. i miss my computer games
Built this last summer: Q6600 @ stock 9800GTX+ OC'ed slightly 4GB @ 1066 Asus P5K Deluxe Nothing really special but it plays Crysis @ 1280x1024 decently with everything on High. The quad helps a lot for rendering 3d scenes too.

Holy shit maybe I should come out to the public forums more often, I didn't even know GC had created a computer section. My rig is a couple of years old now and running solid. It was built with silence as the primary goal: Antec P182 lined with a shitload of sound-absorbing foam Biostar TP35D2-A7 mobo w/Intel P35 Northbridge and integrated Realtek 7.1 audio (I do NOT recommend this mobo due to SATA problems I've had which are now resolved) Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33 GHz w/1333 MHz FSB and 4MB L2 cache, passively cooled with a Thermalright HR-01-775 fanless heatsink 2 GB of OCZ DDR2 @ 800 MHz MSI GeForce 8600 GTS w/256 MB of 128-bit DDR3, passively cooled by a fanless heatsink Hitachi 160GB hard drive FSP 400W fanless power supply Asus DRW-1814BLT SATA Dual Layer DVD±RW/-RAM w/2 MB Cache, LightScribe (this drive is a fucking piece of crap, I was able to burn a single Lighscribe label and now it refuses to do Lightscribe at all) Three Noctua 120mm case fans running at either 600 or 1200 RPM, I don't remember It used to be almost silent when I had the HDD enclosed in gel packs inside an aluminum box. Unfortunately one of the gel packs sprung a leak so I had to take the drive out of the enclosure. Now I can hear the hard drive.
MY setup is: amd athlon FX-57, (o.c to 3.2ghz) Asus a8n-sli premium Ati radeon X800GTO 2GB OCZ ram 3x WD RE3 1TB disks 1x Seagate 250gb disk 1x Maxtro 80gb disk 1x old IBM 10gb disk Power LC 550w pioneer dvd drive I'ts a little old but still running good, I don't need it for gaming a lot cuz I have a 360.
