Even when I upgrade my computer, it won't beat that set-up. When I get rich and land myself a nice job, I'll be upgrading much more often! :)

My PC is huge in size with loads of room to upgrade (4 Bays 5.25, 2 Bays 3.5 etc.) and is very loud! It's pretty fast as it is when I upgraded my RAM from 256MB to 768MB and my GeForce MX 440 to the GeForceFX 5600, my performance went through the roof (especially in N64 emulation @ high resolutions and PSX emulation with Pete's OpenGL2 plugin). Upgrading computers can be addictive and costly! I've spent ~ÂŁ700-odd on my current PC (a bargin since I hand-picked the components myself from an independant retailer). I wouldn't have the courage to overclock though.

My Uncle got his rig (3000+, GeForceFX 5600...) for almost nothing, because his wife got some sort of subsidy from her work, so he bought the best PC that PC World had and cost him ÂŁ200, less than my planned upgrade. Lucky bastard! I'll have to get one of those jobs! My comp will be slighty better than his when I upgrade though, which will majorly piss him off!

yeah im gonna have to say sxamiga on this one....

i dont mean to belittle you viper but you "only" have a Soundblaster live (come on, they have audigy Platinum ZS out now), you didnt really O/C your 5900u that much, and you have a puny hard drive setup. 2 Raptors in a RAID 0 would be better, IMO. and a 400 watt PSU....from what brand? any case mods? i really like your monitor man, im jealous...but have you heard of the Sony F520? what kind of optical drives are you running in there?

those are only a few things, and i sure as hell aint a hardware guru at all....however, when ANYONE comes in here, making a thread about how they have the "best" computer you might say im a little defensive :)

When does having good hardware dictate you as an intelectual about it? or a Guru?

there is no point of the thread. i seriously dont get it. it's like "look what new stuff i just bought"....big deal. Seta-San has a 3200+ and a 5900u. fivefeet8 has a 2800+ and a 5900u. plenty of people have 9800 pros and high end processors too....you dont see them going around bragging about it. (ok well seta-san made a thread about the XP game advisor...but it was a joke thread, come on)
