Your Quake Den

First topic message reminder :

Heres a place for everyone to show their computer setup

For entertainment purposes, make sure something good (yet clean) is on the monitor.

just be pleased it wasn't something bigger! I suppose you made the computer yourself... pretty impressive! i would never have the time/will/money/knowlege to even contemplate that...

itz ez to build a pc, just research what is compatible with what and where everything goes, its just saving your money to buy it thats annoying

I suppose you've really got to have the determination and will to do it though

Dan is right, building a computer is very easy. There's not much to it and most things only fit 1 way and are labeled. Setting up the OS can be a pain at times, but the physical part is a cinch.

With my new 22" LCD, my computer only cost me about $700. I sold my old monitor and PC for $250, and got $70 in rebates from my purchases.. So all -in-all, I spent $380 for a quad core, 8 GB ram, 500 gb HDD (Have a 1 TB as well from my old computer) and a pretty nice 1 GB video card.

Hell, the case alone was $90, so I did pretty well

good looking out on that pc too tad... she runs like a champ... given im gonna have to tear her down and redo the heatsinks on the GPU and CPU... just to make it last longer

Ya, I hadn't ever touched the CPU on that computer, so might as well re-grease.... but it is a solid rig. I never had 1 problem with it really.... aside from the crayon all over it.

lol ya... think we're gonna paint it... or get a new case... haven't decided yet..

Please not purple.....






Please.

thinking about a metallic silver....

we done the xbox that color because we had some left over after doing the speaker box...

wow, that makes it cheaper! My computer was around the £500 mark... but that was 6 years ago (so i suppose it was a good long term investment). One well looked after computer and 6 years later still no issues

I wanna revive this topic with a random post saying I have things slightly different.. but not much.

That was pretty cryptic...wanna let on what you mean?

Before the minuscule changes:

After the minuscule changes:

Bigger monitor.
Cleaner desk.
Razer Deathadder mouse.
Desk still broken, but no longer held up by a cup.
iFrogz Ear Pollution CS40 headphones.

nice headphones! I really should get myself a pair. Or just one really, two would be greedy

and we haz the same keyboard

I need/want a new one.

why? I quite like it...does the job. The mouse is the main thing i'm picky about

I broke one of the stands off of mine, and now it's uncomfortable to use.

ah yeah i couldn't stand that to be fair. Stick some bluetac under it?

Explain bluetac pl0x.

You know...blue, sticky?

Now that I moved, I need to upload a new pic

Wow i need like a new everything... if you guys saw mine... shit i would pay you so you don't laugh.

Deal, i'll stay silent. £5?

thats what $1.50

no...it's $8...

what a rip off
