[Ulundel]

*quickly hides his PC*

[pyro-manic]

Athlon 1.2GHz (upgrading to Athlon XP 2000+ or higher soon - depends on prices)

Gigabyte GA-7DX motherboard

512Mb PC2100 DDR memory (plenty for now!)

LG DVD-ROM (adding Liteon CD-RW soon)

20Gb IBM 7200rpm HDD (may get another, but don't really need it at the moment)

Hercules Muse XL soundcard (may get a new one this year)

Yeah, I know this looks crap, but she still does the business! Runs Unreal 2 just fine on medium detail settings, so it can't be that bad!  Just need to persuade my dad to get ADSL now...

Simple! Just duct tape over all the vents, fill the case with water from the tap, and turn it on. Make sure it's cold water, though; you'll need to change it every two weeks or so.

I still don't get it why some people have so many fans. It's a computer, not a helicopter goddamit

[Turnsky]

so, i've seen a case with 22 fans.. apparently it sounded like a 747..
