Your PC ATM

My PC at the moment.

Lauren's PC.

Yes, she still plays the Poke'mon games. (Honestly, I play them now and again too, guess it's a part of my childhood I can't quite let go of. )

lol

Pokemon is fun

I'm considering disassembling my PC and putting it on a mobo tray

 

[Velvet Wafer]

pokemon was fun, when i was a child... but every clone that followed after it got worser and worser,sadly

 

[Radical_Edward]

The new games are pretty fun. But that's just my $0.02

Oklahoma State Case!!!

Here's my back up rig. It's a dedicated folder/cruncher. Thinking about trading the 5770 for Nvidia?

Is that a Xaser? I don't know about switching up for invidia, I know they want to push the CUDA/Scientific computing angle, and I've been wondering about folding/crunching clients that are CUDA specific or CUDA optimized or some such. But somehow I doubt the academic world will alienate half the GPU owners out there, they realizing the benefits of having their crunching clients available to anyone with a decent GPU. But whatever makes you happy.

yes it's the xaser VI... I don't use the 5770 for gaming or anything so it'd get better prodution with an equal valued Nvidia card

Problem is it wouldn't be half, not even close to half, it would be barely 30 % if you believe Steam. All the same, they should just step up and offer optimized versions for both flavors of video card IMO!

How are those cases? I was curious about them, but I already had my armor+.

ATI just surpassed invidia in discrete graphics shipments, not that that means anything about the actual distribution. Nor did I mean a literal 50%, more like, since there are only two major graphics chip designers, they probably don't want to alienate a significant portion of users when there could be a widely compatible client.

I agree, that's why I think they should offer an optimized client for each flavor, as i fold with both.

To be honest I would even be willing to throw a few bucks to them provided they gave 50'ish % to a cancer foundation or for more cancer research.

I'd like that too, What I'd really like is for AMD to take a cue from their competition in the graphics realm and do better software layer optimizations. But w/e.

I like it... it is a behemoth though lol... good air flow and lots of room to upgrade

What size is the two fans at the top?

What size is the two fans at the top?

140mm

 

[Velvet Wafer]

both the top and bottom fans seem to be 140 mm....notice the red 120 on the right, compared to one of the bottom blue ones

you are correct sir!

 

[pantherx12]

So, I've a 8800gt now ( and a running rig) plan on using it for phsyx when I get a new card, how ever for now how much of a performance hit have I taken?

Also do I need extra heatsinks for aftermarket cooling?



*edit* disregard above, something killed the graphics card : / probably faulty pci-e slot or psu.

Either way, done with rig in system specs!

Roll on AM3+ upgrade.

My armor+ is similar, 38 lbs (17.3 kg) prior to adding any components, I'm presuming now that it weighs probably 50 lbs with everything in the case.

around there it is a heavy case for sure!

How hard would it be to fit a 200mm fan in the top of either the Armor or Xaser? How about in front of the harddrive cage?

Need more room than the 932 I've got. Right now its between the 600T and the Ultra version of TR cases.

My i7 rig, caseless ATM (sorry about the crappy phone pics, my bro has my camera):

Currently w/ the GTX260 and a 9600GT, by next weekend it should be a GTS450, GTX260, and maybe a GTS250 as well.

don't know about the armor but you can't without modding on the xaser... i have a 932 as well and get better air flow out of it
