[Sturdy]

[mrmikk]

[SyKeD]

I wish i had an awesome gaming computer.. i just use a Dell Inspirion 8600 Laptop lol.... =(

 

[Mrs I]

My hubby has one of everything 2 of somethings lol, but dont ask me what !!

 

[AnthonyJ]

dads pc i built for him has a
q6600 cpu
asus p5ke-wifi motherboard
toughpower 750watt psu
asus 3850 gpu
4gb ram
22inch monitor
thermaltake soprano case
mx revolution mouse
g15 keyboard

its a little out dated, but it can run cryis on almost max settings.


but i refuse to game on a pc, its not worth it, rather play xbox 360. the pc you just built Cabitonage will be outdated in about 6 months and obselete anyway.

[AnthonyJ]

MatE: have you heard forza 3 is coming out soon? google it im really excited

 

[slim6y]

Wow, you guys have some great gaming machines... But I think this is a timely reminder to you all that it's not a shipping container with 8 X-Boxes, 8 x 42in LCDs, fully air conditioned and networked....

Hmmmm....

Let me illustrate:

However... I am was thinking of buying a new motherboard etc - because for my photo work and music work I'd love a faster computer... but instead I bought new speakers

 

[reptilefan95]

Wow massive nerds!! No offence though im sure we have all got a secret love of video games, me i like killing people on any violent games does that say something about my personallity??/

Huge overkill on the power supply there, nice setup though, would love to upgrade but we've decided to give VixenBabe the upgrade shes been waiting for for years now =P

-AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition
-Gigabyte GA-MA770-US3 Motherboard
-Corsair Micro 4GB ram
-Western Digital Green 500GB
-EVGA GeForce GTS 250 512MB
-Thermaltake V9 Case
-Vantec ION2+ N Series 600W
- Lite-On IHAS324

Nice simple set up that should chew through most of the games out now, pick up hopefully within 2 weeks

This notebook wasn't designed for gaming (as in, I didn't customise it specifically FOR gaming) but I rekon it would do a fair job of it (for a notebook at least)

- Intel centrino 2 core 2 duo P8700 (2.53ghz, 1066FSB, 3MB cache)
- 15.6" HD1080p WLED (1920x1080) with 2MP webcam
- 500gb 7200RPM HD
- 4GB DDR3 ram, 1066MHz
- 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670
- Backlit keyboard
- 3 yr XPS premier service

XFire

Not sure exactly what my system is but I am due for an ugrade to something new and improved.

Anyone use xFire for their gaming? The best proggy. add me Pythons09

On xfire you can see what my system is.

I play BF2. 8 months ago I was playing every night but have'nt been on for 8 months since moving house. On just about every night lately though.

Grab yourselves Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 - Special Forces

Don't worry about the expansion packs as they are coming out next week when the latest 1.5 patch is coming out. You get the other booster packs included.

Hopefully I'll catch up with some of you gusy on-line
