Just curious as to what the average pirate's system is like. =P

To kick the thread off, here's my specs. I enclosed it in spoiler tags, so as not to have a 2 page long post. :D Just click "Show" to see each one.
Gaming Rig: (still arriving in pieces)
Intel Core 2 Duo e6600
ASUS p5n32-sli d
xfx 7900gt
ocz 2x1gb pc6400 cl4
msi turbostream 600w
wd raptor 74gb
diamond xs71 sound card
(cooling: custom phase by reggie wing
on custom wb by freddy stinger (direct die)
and wchill loop (maze4, mcw30, eheim))

Media Rig: (using as gaming rig for now)
Intel Celeron D 2.53ghz
ASUS p4s800d-x
radeon 8500 (swap with download rig when gaming rig is finished)
kingston 2x512mb pc2700 cl2.5
ultra 400w
1TB JBOD on RC-200 (3x250gb, 1x300gb)
turtle beach riviera sound card
masscool hsf

Download Rig:
Intel Celeron D 2.53ghz
ASUS p4s800d-x
volari v3 (swap with media rig when gaming rig is finished)
kingston 512mb pc2700 cl2.5
hipro 300w
speeze hsf

Router/Firewall Rig:
Intel Pentium III 667mhz
Intel (???) motherboard
crucial 2x256mb sdram
hipro 300w
dell hs w/ case fan aimed at it

Common components:
ADI MicroScan 21" CRT
Rosewill RK-500B Keyboard
Logitech MX518 Mouse
Zonet 3004 KVM (4 port)
Insignia 600W stereo with KJH 5.1 speakers

Notes: All computers use radimax 528b cases (looks great when they're all lined up). The Download and Router boxes both network boot from the terabyte jbod, the router has onboard video. The three cases not belonging to the gaming rig are bolted to one another (looks damn good). And for the moment, I can't get the Volari V3 to work with cs source, so I'm using my worse video card simply because it's compatible.

I've been looking at suches on Newegg and can't decide what to get.

2.05 but was thinking of upgrading :blink:

Seriously though:
MSI K8N NEO4-F
Athlon 64 3000+ (@2.23GHz)
1gb PC3200 Dual Channel
Geforce 6600LE 128mb
Seagate 160gb 7200RPM Sata
NEC 16x dual layer dvd burner
500watt Ultra power supply (Not the best brand but the voltages seem fine...)
Black case with side window
1 side intake fan, 1 bottom intake fan, 1 rear exhaust fan (All volt-modded 7volts)
CPU Fan is stock, running at 50% speed (CPU Temp is ~35c idle like this, when it goes above 36c speedfan will increase speed to cool it back down)

Yeah, Ultra is kind of flaky, mine came with a case, but it seems t be alot more reliable than the other relatively unheard of brands like powmax etc. One of my powmax psus (in the download rig) actually blew up, fried the mobo.

And to justify my having 4 pcs on 24/7, I fold for the cure on them 24/7 (except the gaming rig, with which I only fold on at night)

http://folding.stanford.edu/I would be folding but that would make my cpu temp higher and mean my cp fan would e running 100% all the time...much too noisey for me.:cry:

That's not true. It can be done to make your PC(s) be able to run at full load and yet still remain almost silent. I'm doing it.

In the process of getting a 4800X2 and another newer model of my epox mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813123258

In the last 3 years, most of my friends bought epox and was pretty good. The features on it are great and the price makes it REALLY worth it.

The features on it are great and the price makes it REALLY worth it.Before I heard about core 2 duo, I was certainly getting an epox mobo for my 3800 x2, but epox doesn't make core 2 mobos, so I had to sacrafice all the nifty features and go with the only board currently capable of both sli and core 2 duo =P

Well that really should have it's own thread, hct, but here's some pics of what's on my desk right now. (the specs I posted is what I'll have when all my stuff arrives, for now I'm caseless and only one computer is up and running, the others are chilling in a cardboard box across the room until I have the parts to finish building them)

Pic 1, the computer, from above. The fans really are spinning, I just use a high shutter speed cause I've got shaky hands. (the gfx card on top of the dvd drive is my volari v3, I took it out until xgi's site is back up and I can dl the drivers)

Pic 2, the power supply without flash (the lights are cool!)
http://24-7gaming.net/$/$/100_0363.jpg (http://24-7gaming.net/$/$/100_0363.jpg)

Pic 3, the terabyte jbod. I'm really proud of it. =P

edit: lol! I just realized combined, those four hard drives are over 100x the capacity of the hd atop the dvd drive in picture 1.

If you can't remeber any of your system's specs, you can download cpuz from http://cpuid.com and run it. It'll tell you everything you could possibly want to know about your hardware. =P And the best part is, it's not an installer, you download the actual program, no need to intall, just double click and it runs.
