Current PC Specs

[PeregrineFalcon]

I was just curious what everyone was running these days. The poll (http://www.gamehavoc.com/viewtopic.php?t=510) posting by spurty about HL2 upgrading got me wondering how my machine stacks up to everyone elses.

[acme420]

thats your dream machine or what? cuz if thats your real machine why didnt you just post pictures of it?

[Satanic_Hamster]

Don't have a camera with me.

[Nefarious]

since you have the money for all that, why dont you buy a 15000 RPM harddrive?

[Satanic_Hamster]

Eh, current hd's work.

And they're not full.

[Spyder]

maybe he doesnt have the money for "all that". If his comp is anything like mine, it wasnt bought all at once. You just get one upgrade every now and then over time, and it slowly rolls along always being sorta with the flow of technology.

[Nefarious]

i think he bought it all. and hammy, its not a matter of working or fullness, its a matter of showing off

[Satanic_Hamster]

No, showing off would be buying everything at once.

:)

The cd drives, hard drives are all 2 years + old.

Sound card, graphics card, mobo, proc were bought in the fall.

Ram this spring.

Everything else this month.

[Nefarious]

i am saying that you already have the rest of the system to show off, so why not buy the 15000 or even 10000 RPM HD to show off more

[Satanic_Hamster]

Now, if I really wanted to waste money, I'd replace the two beige cd drives with black ones.

[Nefarious]

buy this one:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-111-138&depa=0

then tell me where you live so I can rob you

[Spyder]

scsi is for noobs (and servers)

go with sata :P

[Satanic_Hamster]

F*** seagate.

WD for life, yo!

/me flashes gang signs

[Spyder]

[HighPingedLPB]

samsung pwnz you all! er.. maybe.. I haven't used my samsung drive yet :(

[ThriKreen]

scsi is for noobs (and servers)
go with sata :P

HEY, I RUN SCSI.

1 x 18.4gb 10k RPM (C: Windows)
2 x 18.4gb 7200rpm in a RAID0 (D: Games)

[[gh]Spurty]

lol SCSI has its place

Anyone with SATA know if the CPU does all the I/O work (like IDE) or not (like SCSI) ?

I have a SATA drive that is bruk and needs to be shipped somewhere . one day
