I'm getting mixed messages about what kind of gaming PCs HLP has. It seems like only a minority have l33t gaming PCs, but then there'll be a bunch who say they do.

While I'll most certainly watch this thread turn in to a nothingness, there is important thing here: it might remind FREDders about the number of ships they can put in a single mission, especially with SCP (which I haven't tried yet).
So:
Athlon XP 3000+ (or something like that)
ATI Radeon 9800
1 Gb of RAM
That's about all one needs.

Main case fan switched to a silent one, and CPU fan switched to bigger and silent version (with minimal use of violence to make it fit to the heatsink, had to drill the screws throuh the fan frame to get it stay in piece), plus an air duct made from Sprite bottle and duct tape to guide cool air from outside the case directly into the CPU heatsink, through the conveniently placed grid on the side panel.

No, it's a CM - Custom Made (I think)18.9 gb HDD.... you must hate yourself.
:nod: It does run out of space, but I can do with it (for now).
@ Herra T - Does that thing actually work? Because I could do that to mine - it has air holes in the side.
btw, can you make the fans quieter without getting new ones, as well as the HDD, because mine's pretty annoying sometimes, mainly the HDD whine.
-
Well quite obviously it makes the ventilation of the case a little more effective since the CPU fan is sucking fresh air, but how much is just imagination and how much is real is another thing...
Normally, on case like this the only thing that gets new air into the case are the rear fan and PSU fan creating a lower pressure inside the case, which drags air in from every hole and corner of the case, but directly pushing air into the case is a different matter altogether. I never did any benchmarking (and damn me if I can be bothered into changing the fans and removing the air duct to make experiments on CPU temps), but if I recall correctly, the CPU idle temperature was lowered somewhat, but compared to the retail fan, the idle temperatures lowered about 5-10 degrees Celcius, but I can't say how much of that is caused by air duct, how much by new fan increasing the air flow through the heatsink blades, and how much is from cleaning the heatsink from accumulated dust. Ambient temperatures dropped a few degrees too if I recall correctly, and that should be a direct result of the duct making the CPU fan an intake fan as well.
Right now, SpeedFan is reporting CPU temperature to be exactly the same as ambient temperature of the case air (35 deg Celcius), but I can't know how accurate the temperature sensors are and where they are. One of my MOBO sensors currently reports (or is interpreted wrong by the SpeedFan) 116 degrees Celcius and I suspect my PC would have become a toast (or toaster) long ago if it were accurate... :rolleyes:
At any rate it was fun to make and at least I can imagine it working. :p

That video card is really showing its age now. I missed out on the 8800s when they came out and don't want to buy one so late in their lifetime, and neither company is going to release anything decent until the summer. It's a good thing I have plenty of old games to play in the meantime. :p

I ****ing hate you. Sure you don't have a couple of 9650s around you'd like to throw my way?
And what do you use that for? Rendering? Gaming? Surfing the net? (I assume you might be able to get decent speeds in Firefox, but IE is just way too demanding on system hardware)
On a side note, with the hardware I posted, would I be able to run Vista? I used the Upgrade Advisor, and it said all systems were go, but I don't know if it took into consideration the age of my PC. This (http://home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/VistaRequirements.html) guy says that I can.
And @CP: You've sure got an old and decrepit GPU. :rolleyes:
-

It doesn't run a lot of recent games that well. In the past, the video card was the one thing I switched out on almost every six month refresh cycle, and I never spent much money since the old card went on ebay before it lost much value. I didn't do that this time due to several factors that came up during the last two years; first it was a lack of any decent games, then a lack of time to play, and finally a lack of good cards. :p
-
If you want ATi (which by rights you should) wait for the 4870, supposed to be good. But then, the 2900 was too, on paper.
-
The 4870 isn't coming until June. In any case, it's supposed to be a multi-GPU card that operates on Crossfire, so I'm not that interested in it. What I want to see is Nvidia's GT200, but they are still busy milking the G80/G92 generation for all it's worth. :p
-
No, you're thinking about the 4870X2.
-
Well, the vanilla 4870 likely won't be that fast, or they would not be releasing a dual chip version for their flagship.
-
Why not? If you can have it, get it.

Firstly i apologise for the huge link. But i cant copy the specs, due to a recent windfall from the mod in light of the op. I'm buying one of these.

I'm saying that if ATi wants to improve power by doubling their card, why not?

It will be positioned as their high end solution from the beginning, in the absence of any single GPU card. AMD has stated in their investor conferences that they will be looking exclusively at multi GPU configurations for the high end in the future. Nvidia, in contrast, has said that they see advantages in continuing with single chip cards and their GT200 is expected to be such a card.
I have no interest at all in multi GPU configurations for several reasons I've discussed here in the past, so I will be waiting on that GT200.
-
Next card I get will be
ATI AMD, because I don't want them to go out of buisness and leave Nvidia with no competitor

It may show its age, but it's still a decent system. Not depreciated that much--mainly the graphics card is half the price and the RAM is probably a good bit cheaper now. What motherboard do you have?

It's pretty funny that I'm running around with DDR ram, a 3200+, and a 7600 GT...
and the people with 8800 GTX's are talking about their systems showing their age.
Don't suppose any of you want to unload your "old" stuff? Particularly MoBos and CPUs?

Dont get me wrong.. the 8800GTX kicks Crysis in the ass.. but its showing its age in that its not the top of the heap anymore, not with the 9800GX2s coming out. There is nothing I have or game on the market that needs that kind of graphics power unless you are running a command center of 30" LCDs at max resolution just because you can.
I'll stick with this 8800GTX until they retail for $50.. then it will be about time to unload it for something newer.
-
8800GTX kicks Crysis in the ass
Only if you're very lenient on what framerates you consider acceptable. As far as I can see, Crysis kills everything right now even on its "high" setting and at fairly average resolutions. The built-in benchmark is misleading and the game performs much worse in several maps towards the end of the game.
For that matter, the 9800GX2 is also pretty useless due to the fact that the minimum framerates don't improve over a single 512MB GTS in many games (including Crysis) even when the averages look good. There is a good midrange lineup from both companies right now but simply no high end cards at all, or I wouldn't still be using this X1900. As it stands, I would rather wait for something good and just stick to older games in the meantime, of which I have plenty to go through.

Haha, most of your guys' specs are far better than me:
I'm currently running FSOPEN on a 3 yr old laptop:
1.5 Pentium-M oc'd to 1.68
768 mb DDR-200 ram
Intel 855gm integrated video
40gb 4200 rpm HD
all this is hooked up to a 22" Acer monitor lol
But I'm getting this pretty soon:
2.2 AMD Phenom 9500
2gb DDR-5300 RAM
nvidia 8400gs, 256DDR2 ram
TV tuner
nforce 470i chipset
500gb 7200rpm HD
Hopefully when i get this I'll be able to turn up some settings and resolutions =)

It's still not to late for me to get a refund :D

I'm getting the above PC for ~$370 after $100 rebate. Yeah, I would've chose C2D if possible, but they only had AMD configs. Strangely, it would've cost me extra to "upgrade" to Athlon 64 x2 line of processors.
