Some pics of my current setup (just moved into a new apartment so I'm still cleaning up the wires and what not):





I'll get some case interior pics later. Gotta open it up and make some adjustments later.

 

Good lord man, thats a bit overkill for solitaire dont ya think

Thats a serious rig for sure!

 

I have no idea what all that stuff you listed does!!! But it sounds cool!

 

pretty much anything he wants to on a pc

 

Haha pretty much!

 

that first pictures reminds me of this

 

I want that startrooper suit but in carbon fiber.

 

PCs? Yeah, I am into PCs. Hang on, lemme get a pic...

Here we go:

Oh, you mean *PCs*! Well, I used to work with them, but they're called PLCs now...

No? OH. You are talking about computers. Those things. Meh.

I gotta E6750, 4G, NVidia 9600GT rig that plays City of Heroes and does these forums...

on a **37" MONITOR.**

While that droll 3 monitor setup is nice and all, there's nothing like having a computer do things and make it look like your in the front few rows of an IMAX. "Glorious" comes to mind.

My old rig is here:
http://web.wt.net/~houtex/casemod.htm
And you can read/look at it there. The current is in a upside down ATX box with a window and a dragon cutout on it. Kinda nifty actually, it's a gaming rig with a handle... that doesn't go anywhere now.

/The old rig still works.
//Probably gonna turn it into my TV computer for the other room.
///I cut the cable, so I only have OTA stuff now.
////This thing is huuuuge...
/////Just got it, sorta lucked into it.
/////To be fair: I used to have a 5 computer, 5 monitor flight simulation rig set up. 4 15"s and a 21" CRT in the middle, all networked, for 150 degrees of view. It was *awesome*. But I got over it. Heh.

 

At some point I am going to do a seamless 6 monitor build if no one comes out with something. 5760x2160 :yum:

 

is that just a gaming keyboard on the left?

 

I feel so inadequate with my single monitor rig and my dusty old hard drives.

 

It's a Logitech G13 gameboard. It's pretty interesting. I'm so used to using a keyboard it's a little tough to get used to, but the LCD screen is really neat. You can run a bunch of different apps that display system information. I usually run it with my CPU core load and temperature display.

I'm not 100% sold on it yet, but I do love my Logitegh G700 gaming mouse. Very nice!

 

but can it run crysis 3 on max settings?

 

That sounds like a nice **** machine you got there.

 

It will probably need some extra GPU power at this resolution.

 

Current rig has:

Thermaltake Element G case
MSI P67A-6D80 mobo
MSI twin frozr GTX 560Ti vidcard
i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4Ghz
16gig Ripjaws DDR3 X series 1600
Hitachi 2TB hard drive
LG blu-ray burner

Graphics are pretty good for everything I have loaded on it.

 

Just imagine how big you could make a quality set of cans look...

 

I have several friends who build rigs like you. It's funny because every time they finally decide on the specs, something new comes out and then they decide to wait a little longer lol. It's a vicious cycle.

It's like somebody about to buy a 2010 GT, then hearing about the 5.0 so they wait on the 2011. Then they hear about the BOSS so they wait again. Then 13 GT500 news comes out....you get my drift LOL

 

Yeah, it sucks. I am like that with everything. I always want the best I can get and then some.

Usually with PCs I set a goal that I want my current build to last me at least two years. That includes on upgrade cycle. Thankfully with this rig I've got the option to upgrade to the Ivy Bridge chips down the road since the Mobo is compatible, and I can always upgrade to the 7xxx series ATI cards if necessary.

With my cars... If I hold on to them for 2 years they are lucky. I'm usually eyeing replacements as soon as I drive off the lot.

 

has that usb 3.0 stuff hit yet? I'm so far behind anything computer-wise lol.

I'm using a 2 yr old hp laptop LOL
