Your PC ATM

[[Ion]]

She games now and again on my rig, but she does have her C2D laptop, it's not that good thou. Which is why I wanted to build her a PC, since the Laptop can't do very much really.

Yeah, I'm familiar with laptops

I actually use my C2D laptop for most things.....but for gaming, I always use my desktop. Intel GM45 + any modern game = :shadedshu

Very Nice Mr. Strawberry, I like that rig very much.

Ah that's a nice little rig there. What are you using it for? Also, what's the name of the case?

how does that rig run? I'm going to take a punt and assume the CPU is an Atom Dual core, how does it do at feeding the GTX470? and does it ocerclock?

List the specs! I'm quite interested. It will be on sale in a few days I assume.

The Atom does clock to an amazing 2.2ghz from the stock 1.6

Its the SG07 in my FS thread. All I really did was fold in it for a day, to see how capable it was. Everything gets cooled with help from the 180mm fan that sits in the top

Zotac
2GB of Gskill PC6400
EVGA GTX 470
Standard 3.5" Seagate 80GB
slim optical
Silverstone 600W 80+ Bronze PSU (comes inside the case)

i want bench marks!!!!!!

 

[sneekypeet]

lulz...13.5K PPD Didnt run any benches this time. Ran a few with a 9800GTX+. Think stock 939 proc with a little love from DDR2 and cripple the GPU score, yup that seems about right. Perfect for an HTPC for streaming of browsing though.

Maybe a bit overkill for an ATOM/ION setup, no? Why not build it with a GTX460 & the SG05? How well does it OC?

 

[sneekypeet]

I just threw it together with what I had.

 

[[Ion]]

Oh. Well. That's cool

I think w/ my username, an Ion would be cool, but I can't justify it for the price

Currently resizing pictures and stuff for an upcoming sale thread.

[Chicken Patty]

I need a rack like that for all my stuff!

Well when you got the dosh grab an silver gel pen aswell then use it to fill in the Tuniq and detailing on the top It'll make it look a hundred times better (see Pic below)

Not a bad idea.

It's not much of an issue if someone posts one off topic post replying to someone, but if the topic is completely unrelated and drones on post after post then it's best to just take it to our general nonsense site:http://www.generalnonsense.net/

Nice systems people, keep it up!

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i didn't notice how dusty my rig is till i saw the pic
will have to clean it.
changed some things around slightly but nothing much. I know the fan on the ram is ghetto but it gets the job done and was just a random fan i had laying around. I have it on a fan controller so i can run it at a low RPM and its silent and keeps the ram cool(i also have every fan but the top one on the fan controller)

*front was off in this pic,it is no longer off*

I get you you like Norton, great, good for you, but "Kaspersky and NOD32 being on a steady downward trend" is your opinion not fact. I don't care I will not be using norton EVER! not after I was treated so badly by their customer service. I've moved on you should to.






MOAR PICS PLZ!

No, it's not my opinion. Look at their performance progress over that period of time. It's fact. Both have gotten lower on all tests.

And I don't actually use Norton, I use Kaspersky.

I just know enough not to knock something blindly. It's just as bad as people blindly bashing Intel saying that AMD is so much faster, because they are stuck in the P4 era.

Trying to give it a second life (it's been down for 5 years).

Ahhh, good old ECS purple. lol

I still have a KA3-MVP board sitting here. Decided to give it a chance when the 3200 Crossfire chipset first released. Yeah, regretted that purchase from day one. The potential was there, but the BIOS was coded my monkeys with keyboards. Works great as long as you run it at defaults, not so good when you have high perf ram you need to set.

 

[Athlonite]

an nForce2 mobo is it

I almost got that board when i built my first dual core setup but i went for a Gigabyte board because i decided i didn't need Xfire.

have you looked to see if there is any updated BIOS for it? I would be interested to see how it does.
