Post your gaming setup!

If there's one thing far worse than Mountain Dew, it's Mountain Dew Code Red. It is almost the worst soft drink I have ever tasted (the worst was Pepsi Blue).

On topic: I managed to snag an old C2D E6300 and an Asus... something motherboard for it to use in my Linux box at work!

As soon as I read "worst soft drink" I immediately thought of Pepsi Blue.

Wow, you look away from this thread for a few days and you miss like 10 pages. Damn. And I see you're back at discussing beverages again ^^

Anyway, have had some issues with my mITX build as my case has yet to arrive. Went ahead and took a picture without any card this time: http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/7569/img0493bp.jpg

In the meanwhile I give you the first computer I ever assembled:

Pretty huh? I took the PSU out to power my mITX build while I wait for that damn case... Anyway, guess the specs?

Arctic Cooling heatsink, or looks very similiar.
s-ATA 1.5Gbps interface.
GPU could be anything from that angle.

Guessing AMD-system, and you took the stock-fan and put it as rear-exhaust!

Close! It is the Artic Freezer Pro 7, I'll give you that, but it is a Pentium 4 based system. And I'm fairly certain I started with a Radeon card (the R600 if I remember correctly) but it's a 6600GT sitting in it atm. The MoBo is an AOpen i915Ga-E but I'm not entirely sure about the CPU. I know it's a Pentium 4 LGA775, and I'm fairly certain it supports HT (remember bragging about having a "dual core"... oh the days). And let's not forget the 512Mb RAM x2 from A-Data.

Was hard to tell from the picture^^.
I have the second revision of the arctic cooling freezer pro 7, thinking of using it over the NH-D14 again, actually.

Hey, hey. I may not be a fan.

But it tastes miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles better than this shit that I found in a store yesterday. It tasted like yuck. Seriously. Americans and their overhyped disgusting food/drinks D: (and apologise for the crappy pic; Phone-pic; no smartphone [refuse] and it's been waterdamaged).

WHAT!?
Mountain Dew tastes amazing, you silly Swedes.

Fanta Fläder and the original Swedish version of the Vanilla coke.
The Mountain Dew tasted sugar through-and-through. I could feel my internal organs screaming at me while drinking it.

I'll have to admit, I bought two kegs of Trocadero bottles while I was in sweden. It tastes delicious, and it's nowhere to be found in Finland.

I love vanilla coke.. They discontinued it in Canada. I always buy several cases whenever I go to the US. If only I could order it as easily as computer parts..

I'm using the Rev2 Freezer 7 in my big server, and the original F7 in my ISA server. xD

Sure didn't last long in this province, did it.

The first and last time I had it was from the Esso station near the old bridge (Dartmouth side). I think i took two drinks, decided it was the worst thing ever made, and threw it on top of the Scotiabank building. -_-

My baby has went through some changes since I posted last (lol page 5?).
Alright here goes:

• Six gigs of trichan OCZ gold Ram sitting at 600Mhz
• Mounted on an Asus p6t Deluxe v2
• Ocz Vertex 2 (120gb) and some storage drives

That V8 is wrong man, turn it around, lol just hurts to see

That and Cherry Coke!

[BicycleMafioso]

That and Cherry Coke!

Cherry, I never really connected with.

Some Swedish stores import the American Vanilla and Cherry together with Mountain Dew and Rootbeer (another horrible drink).
I chose the wrong kind yesterday. The Dew. D:

But the original Swedish Vanilla was better than the American, although the American is by no means bad. I even found a store who sold Coke Zero Vanilla. Or Coke Vanilla Zero, whichever.

[Drunkenvalley]

Ugh. Found Cherry Pepsi the other day.

Hm, I have only ever drank the 1,5L bottle ones, maybe they're different from the canned ones then.
Also, I found a can of Mountain Dew code red in Sweden. I'm scared of drinking it.

Always find something funny about seeing my computer on someone else's screen.

Your case is fine. I'd get an 8-pin extension-cord so I could route it behind the motherboard tray and more storage.

It just feels like there's a ridiculous amount of wasted space, it's literally huge, doesn't fit in the allocated desktop slot, so I have literally no room for my legs

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8Ghz @ 3.8Ghz OC

Kingston 64GB SSD main drive, 2TB Western Digital Caviar Black 7200RPM drive with 64MB of cache secondary

I try to keep my systems simple, gonna put in a slot cooler that I have for my microATX case to help vent since the dual 60mm exhaust fans might not be the best.

[Thooms]

Really? That system is probably like 2 years old and you're already building a new one for $1000-1500? I wish I had that money...
