Be realistic people (these things cost money)

here's mine:

Amd athlon 2200+ (1.8 Ghz)
Msi KT3 ultra2
256 mb pc2700 ddr (for starters)
ati radeon 9700 pro
seagate barracuda 40 gb (so i'm not an mp3 maniac!)
hercules muse xl
hercules xps 210
samsung syncmaster 955 Df
and the case is a Lian li PC 60 (brushed metal)

The one I want, but can't afford, comes in at nearly 2.5 times the price. Of course, it does have the latest Wildcat card, 3gig of fast RAM...

and i'm stuck with this ****ty HPac and a whole $50...

[Turnsky]

well they're all nice, here's the case i'm using..


i've heard a lot of nice things about those alienware pc's
i'm custom-building mine and the case itself has 3 fans already in it (2 in front 1 in back)  here's the site if you want to know more..

[Shrike]

P4 2.4 GHz
512 MB RAM
GF4 Ti 4200 w/ 128 MB RAM
Soundblaster Audigy

That's what I have right now.  :devil:

[Turnsky]

so shrike, gonna get the new 3.06 Ghz p4?

as for mine, it's amazing what you can get with limited funding.

[CP5670]

I'm probably going to stick with my current one for a little while longer, as it runs the current games pretty well and I'm too busy to do a lot of gaming these days anyway.

*Total Price: $5,610.00

I bet most of that price comes from the Lightwave and the Quadro. Isn't 36GB a bit too small for this day though?

Which is precisely what I shall be upgrading to tomorrow. (already have the audigy though)

[diamondgeezer]

If I'm lucky and I get away with not paying my rent this term, I'll upgrade my GF4 MX440 to a Ti4200... and I'll be happy with that

And I reall ought to buy a sound card that costs more than fifteen quid at some point...

[Turnsky]

well not all of us can afford pentiums.

[Fineus]

Does it matter? They aren't exactly worth having...

I'm running:

1.4GHz T-Bird Athlon
256 DDR RAM
40GB Hard Drive
Videologic Sonicfury SC
MSI GeForce 4 4600 Ti
DVD
CDR/RW/
And more heat than I know what to do with.

It spits UT2003 and BF1942 out at +40FPS on full detail in high-res. It keeps me happy

mikhael, mikheal
GAME behemoth they said, not render mule

[Turnsky]

that's more realistic thunder, the radeon 9700 that i'm planning to get will do quite nicely

should play morrowind to my satisfaction


here's my current specs
633 celeron
128 mb ram
3.2 gig (!) hard drive
32 mb kyro

the new one will be a bit of a quantum leap dontyathink?
