My Rig

Unread post by captainAngry »

I finally got around to building my computer only to realize I didn't have a USB keyboard and couldn't install windows until tomorrow.

Took some pics anyway:

That's beastly. I built a new computer over the summer, but it doesn't look as complex as that. :p

What kind of specs do you have?

I agree with this 100%. It's a huge pain in the ass to have to clear shit off my desk to get to my disc drive.

Nice rig. I like the red case. Never seen one like that before.
My rig is still running smoothly for what I'm playing now (it's got about 3/4 of your new rig's power) so I doubt I'll be upgrading soon. Wish i could add more ram though. Vista 32-bit only supports 4 :(
What you getting for fps in tf2 with that beast? :P

The red on the case is custom. My friend painted it for me. Red and black are my colors if you couldn't tell from then forum.

A 32 bit operating system can only support 4GB of ram. This thing is hauling ass right now. Can't wait to see what I get out of TF2. I'm still downloading it right now but I'll let you know what I get.

lol nice. too bad the human eye doesn't even process that fast :P I'm usually at a constant 80 FPS which is fine with me damn it.
See what you on get Crysis lol. i can run it on very high but once action heats up it just dies, even with dual core, 4 GB ram and 9800 GTS 512mb.

might not process that much, but it provides an amazing buffer for parts that arent that fast.

That is also my case. I hate it. The door is the most annoying part. But to me, its also lacking in space. In retrospect, I also don't like the blue lights. Next case I buy won't have any lights other than the HDD light and the power light.
