[Limedust]

Just curious what a majority of forum-goers are browsing the forums with (and possibly playing PC games with as well). I recently did a little bit of upgrading to my system, more than I intended because of a bonehead assumption on my part, and was curious what most of you are working with. These threads tend to be filled by people who have better than average systems, but I'd still like to see what a lot of non-PC gamers have as well, so all are encouraged to post.

Amd XP 3200+ @400 MHz FSB (stock CPU speed)
1GB PC3200 (512 x 2 Dual-Channel)
ASUS A7N8X motherboard
SB Audigy
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Stock CPU and RAM speeds)

I won't bother going into the rest of the system. All very moderate stuff, and well-used but in good shape. My upgrades were the CPU, MoBo, and RAM, and with a format and reinstall of Windows XP Pro, I was able to re-activate Windows over the internet with no problems. Nice. I got everything dirt cheap, which is 90% of the reason I did this in the first place.

The 1GB of PC2100 (512 x 2) that I had previously went to fix my little brothers computer, as one of his two 256MB sticks had gone bad, and he was a big fan of DAoC (RAM hog). Memtest86 did the trick in diagnosing his problem (system ran fine until it started diving into the second stick of RAM, where it would crash and auto-reboot).

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

1. A bastard 9800 Pro that will be immolated in good time.

2. Assorted other future charcoal.

3. Audigy 2

Mine's getting a little long in the tooth -- it's well over a year old, now.

P4 3.0c w/ HT, 800mHz FSB
ASUS mobo -- it was one of the first 800 mHz FSB mobo's for the HT P4s, but fuck't if I can remember which
2 GB Kingston PC3200 DDR-RAM
ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB

Windows XP SP2

I also have a P4 2.66 laptop with 768MB PC2700 RAM and a lame ass Radeon 7000-M (IGP345). Gonna swap in a friend's Radeon 9700-M, which apparently is tricky but possible. The wife and guests use an ancient Dell P3-550 with a GeForce FX 5200 PCI. Ouch!

 

[Stryder]

I've drifted in and out of PC gaming since I discovered consoles but am now quite back into it with the release of Doom 3 and HL2 imminent, my rig consists of:

Abit AI7 motherboard with a 2.8c running at 3.64ghz
2 x 512mb of DDR400
BFG 6800 GT running at ~ultra speeds
SonicXplosion sound card with 4.1 speaker setup
with a 22" Gateway VX1120 monitor

so yeah, I'm pretty excited about the new PC games that are coming out, HL2 in particular.

EDIT: If I can manage to save up long enough with out blowing my money on a PS2 or GCN, I'll probably buy a BFG GeForce6800 GT OC, or a radeon 9800 pro, to replace this piece of a crap I have now. All I know is, I refuse to buy a video card at the low end of the spectrum. I want to experience AA for once, damn it!

As for upgrading anything else, I'm waiting until PCI Express motherboards are out in full force and I'm waiting until my CPU has to to struggle to get things done.

 

[Black Deatha]

I plan to get a new PC soon. But...

What do you guys do with your old hardware?

I've got old mice, CD/Floppy drives, sound cards, modems, etc, and video cards stuffed under my bed. I think I even got a Voodoo3 under there some where.

 

[DJ Demon J]

My PC just turned 1 last week:

GIGACUBE ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB
19" ViewSonic P95F+b (better than that NEC listed above )

Biff, where are you? Show us the specs! (Didn't I tell you it was easy to build a PC yourself? )

 

[Stryder]

What do you guys do with your old hardware?

Yeah I hoard it all as well, I mainly have kept old stuff that is worthless on the market, anything that has value I usually sell to put the money towards the upgraded component (e.g. just sold my 9700pro to re-couperate some of the cost of the 6800GT).

 

[Limedust]

Only stuff I haven't given away are the CPU (XP 1800+) and the Mobo (Gigabyte 7VAXP) I just pulled out of the system. The RAM went to my little brother who needed it to replace his faulty memory, and this stuff always seems to find it's way to somebody I know who has a catastrophic system failure. I recently gave away a GF3 TI500 and some older ASUS MoBo that I had to someone who desperately needed them.

I'm hoping to get a new gaming PC by atleast the end of this year.

 

[Biff Hardbody]

I just built my first PC a few days ago. Everything is smooth as can be and I am very proud of it.

The official Hardbody PC-

Case: Lian Li PC-65B
Motherboard: Asus A8v Deluxe socket 939
Cpu: Athlon 64 3800+
Ram: 1 gig Crucial Ballistix PC-3200
Video Card: eVGA GeForce 6800 GT
Sound Card: Audigy 2 ZS
Speakers: Klipsch 2.1 Promedia
PSU: NeoPower 480 Watt
Optical Drive: NEC DVD-R/DVD+R
HD: 200 GB IDE Hard Drive
OS: Windows XP

I upgraded from a 1.7 Ghz Pentium 4, the worst pentium 4 around (Some Pentium III's out performed it). The difference is performance is astounding. Every game out there runs like butter at its highest settings and 1600X1200. A bit of an overkill, but you gotta remember...I was playing on a really underpowered PC for a long time. I could only have 3 or so games on it before...now I have about 10 or 12 on this one, and its only 15% full. Nice.

Biff, where are you? Show us the specs! (Didn't I tell you it was easy to build a PC yourself? )

Heh. Thanks for all your help. It actually was easy to build by myself. However, I did run into a problem or two that no one had the answer to, thank God I ordered a GT instead of staying with my 9800 or all my work would be for nothing right now. Phew. Its really great to look at it, and its so much better made then my old Dell (which broke down the night before I finished this pc, hows that for timing?).

one more edit about the GT: I noticed colors are better on the GT then on my 9800. Blacks are blacker, neon type colors are more vibrant...ecd. Its a really nice card (its friggin huge).

 

[Vieo]

64 MB Geforce 4 MX 440 PCI (I know it sucks ass)

LoL. Tough nuggets. I have a GeForce4 MX420 128MB under my bed and man did it suck! I paid $120 for it at CompUSA. When I had that card, 1 out of ever five times I turned my computer on, it didn't want to boot up. When I built the computer I'm using now, I tried using that card, but my asus motherboard has this talking feature, so when I turned my computer on, it yelled "bad video memory!". I had to use the GeForce 2 MX something, also under my bed currently.

If theres one thing I've learned the hard way, don't bother on toned down cards if you plan on getting some gaming done. They are a total waste of money.

I'm thinking of going with AMD for my next CPU. I'll just have to wait and see.

Plans for my tax return:
Second stick of XMS RAM (for dual channel)
Second 10,000rpm hard disk for Raid setup
Put 80gig into Xbox and buy a new ~160gig drive
Put 52x CDRW into girlfriend's PC and buy Liteon Dual Layer DVDRW (they're under $100 USD!)

Even though I think it's hideously tacky, here are some (poor) pictures of my riced-up PC:

Radeon 9800 @ 378/337.5
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe

Had a gig of RAM in there, but for some reason, the timings were off and I could never figure out how to fix it. Whoever says that the difference is unnoticeable is crazy.

I'll upgrade in about a year. Nothing (Doom 3 excluded) hammers my PC to the ground at highest settings, so what the fuck, ya know. I'm waiting until A64s hit the 4500-5000+ range and see what I can get then. I may pick up one of those dual channel memory kits 'cause I REALLY miss the RAM.

I built it a year ago the 18th. First one I built myself, thanks Evilore. :0 Cost me about $750, though I carried over a hard drive, CD-ROM, and NIC. Later upgraded the former two.

 

[Vieo]

If you live in the tri-state area, you should check out: http://www.tri-statefairs.com/

You can get stuff there at crazy low prices. I built this comp back in Feb of 2003 and I'm still using the same PSU (500watt Future Power $35), HD($67), and video card($51) I bought from one of their shows, and no problems thus far. You just have to go early because everything goes fast.

I have/hate this case as well.


Although recenetly I cracked the windoe trying to mount a case fan on the side (since it gets shit airflow) so now I just ghettoed it up and attached window screen mesh to the side with the panel off and I idle at 32/35C

and 5 hours of cs source my pc was 39/41 C (mobo cpu temps respectively).

I really like this case, I think its fantastic looking. That being said, I agree with you about the airflow. I asked someone who has nearly the identical setup as me what his temps were, and he was nearly 10 degrees lower then me. I'm still under the threshold by about 12 degrees when it gets under load, and everything seems perfectly fine...but I'd like that extra 10 degrees that everyone else has.

What do you guys do with your old hardware?

When I built my current PC, I installed Linux on my old one and use it to play around with and learn about the OS. It also functions as a web/file server for my personal pages and projects. Eventually I want to get Synchronet set up on it and run a little BBS with door games. Whenever I end up building myself a new computer, I'm planning on moving my current one into the living room to play emulated old console/arcade games and non-region-1 DVDs on.

Secondary PC (nemesis):

A question if i got a new processor say a athlon XP 3200 can i use it with the speed of ram i've got or will i need new ram. Was hopefully getting the 400 FSB chip since my Motherboard supports it.

Depends. On my particular motherboard (ASUS A7N8X), I can run the RAM at some given percentage of the FSB speed. In my case, I have a 200 MHz FSB (400 MHz effective DDR), and PC3200 (also 200 MHz, or DDR400 effective rate), so my RAM speed setting is just set to 100% of the FSB speed in BIOS. If I had slower or faster RAM, I can independently change the RAM speed from the FSB speed, but not all motherboards support this (for instance, the Gigabyte 7VAXP I just changed out did not support this, and I would have had to run either my CPU FSB or RAM at whatever the limiting factor was). I strongly suggest doing some research to see if your FSB and RAM speeds can be clocked differently before moving forward with an upgrade.

Hey thanks i'm pretty sure i can clock them seperatley so in that respect i think i'll be ok.
Heres a link to the motherboard for your interest Motherboard

Do you have any pics of your cooling system? ;p

 

[SpoonyBard]

Intel Celeron @ 1 GHz
ASUS MB w/ VIA chipset
512 MB main RAM
ATI Radeon 9200 (no fan and it has tv-out, so it's good)
SB Live
Maxtor 80 GB 7200 rpm HD (nice and quiet)
Hyundai 17" CRT
Lite-On 24x CD-ROM
Mitsumi 2x burner (I REALLY should get an new one... but it works)

It's pretty quiet and stable system, I only have to boot once a month or two with Win2k.
