Running OS X there but have boot camp installed so I just reboot and boot into XP. I have a 19" TFT attached to the mabook pro now so I run Eve on it, and have safari, vent, quick fit on the external display.

Can't even remeber how much I got it overclocked before the motherboard burned 
I mostly use it as a foot warmer these days 
With your old PC there, you might not have needed som much cooling if you'd not run it next to a radiator 
That radiator haven't been used since I got that computer, it provides all the heat I need

Pff, this is just a show-off thread to boost one's e-peen.
Buffing up your desktops just seems so lame. I mean, they're desktops. They're at your desktop just being there. If you were to rig up a computer with fancy gadgets, do it on a laptop at least. At least you can show if off then. What's the point in wearing the fanciest and most fashionable clothings possible if you are stranded on an island alone?
Anyhow, I got my new laptop recently, so to be on topic, I present you Zepto Znote 6214W. It's a lovely power machine with a nice and clean design. No fancy gadgets, no flashing lights, just simplicity. Simplicity is also very beautiful.

Haha, yea, I guess that was kind of obvious, but someone had to state it sooner or later. It's just that there are so many people here who are posting it with their heart and soul, which makes them look as idiots. I just thought I'd give them a wake-up call.

I agree that the concept of someone whose primary hobby/hobbies involve computers doing up their computer to look nice/cool/whatever is stupid simply because they can't show it off.
I mean, why does anyone ever do anything except to show it off? --------------------

I agree with you to an extent because if you DID show it off then it would most likely get nicked. But it's better than having a beige plastic box.

Edited by: Grumoth on 26/02/2007 14:22:19 How much time do you even spend on watching it? Sure, at first you would be totally amazed, and look at it every second, but after a week or 2, it just stands there. I couldn't care any less about looks, I just want mine to work well.
You want to know why it makes them look stupid? Because they think we actually care and is going to applaud them and say, "Oh, how a mighty fine rig you got! I wish mine looked just like yours". Honestly, most people couldn't care any less.
Looks are so superficial to care about, really. Especially when it's a computer. It's just a way to show you got money, which isn't cool. It just shows how shallow you are as a person, at least to me.
Now, if you had a completly standard rig, I would have concieved you much different. It would have seemed to me you were actually interested in other people rather than just boasting yourself.

Well you don't need to comment in this topic if you don't like the topic, since there is peoples here that like to show others the computer they have, like me
It's almost the same as i have a Nissan Skyline GT-R and then drive around in the city i'm living in to show it of etc. Some peoples love to do that.
And that by having a lot of money by showing up a very nice computer, lol if i have had more money than Bill Gates, would that do you anything if i showed my computer here?
It's not about the money here and that, it's just about showing the computer so i can see if someone else have something nice so i can buy it to if it's cool

My compter i would take a pic of but me im poor so camera is impossible but my computer is a AMD Athlon 3400+ 2.01GHZ, 1gb ram, Nvidia geforce 7900 GS a Maxtor 160gb hardrive, dvd rw floppy disk drive keyboard and mouse all that standard crap.
But with all you guys with the fancey computers figues how much this would make you cry. A friend get a nice sum of cash to do a nice premium bond winnings and feels like a new computer so being a idiot goes to his local pc and asks the boss for the best god damm computer in his price range so the boss tells him so hes orders the parts and i teach him how to build it now this is a dual core super fast processor + motherboard + ubber graphics card and oo yea the processor is -=WATER COOLED=- so it runs now vista is installed and hes happy hes got everything working and hes playing about so i leave him go home and play eve (like you do) so 2 days later i get a phone call "emmm (my name) got a small problem" so i go over and find hes messed about with the tube leading into the water cooled processor and guess what it went BOOM!! so its about a ú3.5k of computer and its ruined now thats a story that would make you cry

Poor guy, Thats one of the reasons I stay away from water cooling yes its quieter more efficient etc etc, but the basic instinct inside of me is telling me water + electronics is never gonna end well. Saying that theres properly far more success s for water coolign then failures guess you friend was just a bit unlucky

To the OP, shame on you for paying that much for a computer case. For the budget minded I would recommend Chenming computer cases. They are available at Newegg and are made by the same people that make Antec cases. I have the 501 model and it is built like a tank. Some of the other cases I have bought have been really flimsy and cheap feeling. If you catch the 501 in stock jump on it as they are usually very hard to find.

If you know how good the computer case is, you wouldn't say it's much money for the computer case. Nothing i have had ever in my life comes even close to be good as my Zalman computer case
And i'm sure other Zalman case owners can confirm that Zalman is VERY good

My pc's nothing special... almost 2 years old now tho so mabye I'd better upgrade some bits :P
It's a Dell Dimension 5000 with mostly standard stuff:
Processor: Intel P4 Prescott 3 ghz Memory: 2 512mb (if i ever get the money ill change it for 2 1gb sticks :D) GPU: Nvidia 6800 - considering upgrading since i got SupCom and its kinda slow :P
Monitor: BenQ FP202W 1680x1050
All that is in a standard Dell case which resides under my very messy desk:

Hey again.
Ok here is a little update on my computer:
I just buyed a Scythe Kama Meter 5.25" Fan Controller (SCKM-1000) 2 weeks ago, and used it for 2 days, and then it didn't wanted to work anymore, so i'm sending back that one, so i can get a new one now.
So when i have got the fan controller back, then i will take new pictures of the computer case with the fan controller on. And some pictures with the Nuclear Reactor off (the lights) .
I'm gonna tell what happened since i did send back the fan controller to get a new one. And i'm gonna tell that in a cool way :). Also i had all of my fans plugged through the fan controller, and that will say the CPU fan to. So i could control all of the fans through the fan controller. Then i went to bed and let the computer be on while i sleep, and i'm always doing that.
But when i wake up the moring after, then my Nuclear Reactor (My Computer) was off, and it shouldn't be off, because it haven't been any power cut or anyone that had turned off my computer. So i just turned on the computer again, but then the fan controller was dead, so no fans was running, so then i found out, aha, that's the reason my computer was turned off, my Nuclear Reactor did take an emergency shutdown while i was in sleep. Because there is a temp sensor on the motherboard that turn off the computer when the CPU temp is to high, and the CPU (reactor) temp got to high when the fan controller (cooling) stopped to work, and then the Nuclear Reactor did turn off. So i'm happy that this is not a real Nuclear Reactor hehe.
So if you look at this in the Chernobyl Reactor way, then it was the cooling system (fan controller) that was failing and did make my Nuclear Reactor to emergency shutdown to prevent the reactor (CPU) from melting.
And yeah, i have the game 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow Of Chernobyl' installed on my computer to now, and that's a very very nice game, i love the way the game is .

I think you are a tad over-obsessed with your computer, especially with how it looks. But, I'm not saying "get a life loser", because I personally know how easy it is to get caught up in details like that particularly when you might be going through a stale period in your life.
On 2nd thought..get a life loser!!!11

Hehe
Nah, i have a life .
I have a life though, even when i use a lot of money on my computer, it's just that i love to have a nice looking computer.
But it's funny though on what happened with my computer, and it's more funny when i had called my computer for The Nuclear Reactor before this happened, since you will for sure think Chernobyl accident by that anyways lol.
