I suppose I'll partake...
let's see...
CPU: AMD X2 3800 (oc'd @ 2.5ghz, 1ghz FSB) /w Zalman heatsink
MOBO: A8N SLI Premium
RAM: 2x1GB Patriot DDR3200 (@208mhz due to oc)
GFX: e-Geforce 7900gt (stock)
HDD: 1x160GB Samsung sata 1x250GB Western Digital sata
19" Samsung CRT Monitor
Some logitech 5.1 speakers
Thermaltake Lanfire case /w 400W psu
Okay so for a long while now I've been wanting to buy some more hdd's, but I'm just lazy and I keep burning stuff etc but eventually I'll get around to getting more space. I'm not an audiophile, so I'm using the onboard audio which sounds perfectly fine to me, the speakers ain't half bad either. I do a lot of gaming and encoding and video watching, my pc is my center of entertainment. All my parts are at least 1 year old; everything but my cpu, ram, video card and mobo are 4 years old. Shit still works perfect
I'm either going to upgrade my monitor to a bigger widescreen lcd, or just wait and get an hdtv and use that for my video-viewing, probably the latter. I got the x2 3800 cuz it was the cheapest back when i got it (like 300 bucks back then-seems like a rip now eh?) cuz I read it overclocks like a beast, and I heard right. Except I didn't actually overclock it until just a couple months ago, huge performance gain though, and hardly any extra heat whatsoever. I'm not sure how much the heatsink is helping, it's one of those like airplane turbine engine things, I actually had to remove my side fan and put it on the outside of the case cuz the heatsink was too big lol. Never runs higher than 40C at full load, idles around 30C (@1.38v).
I'll wait to upgrade my cpu again until the quad cores come down a bit
And I figured I'd get an SLI board and just buy a good video card, then get another one later if i needed more power. Problem is, I didn't take into account the fact that I might not be able to find my same video 1-2 years later (I couldn't find it last time i checked newegg X_X). No biggie though, I've got another 8 months now before Age of Conan comes out
