That's some kick-ass system, Sebastian.

I have an aging setup. I put it together in December of 2004:

ASUS A7N8E-deluxe mobo
Athlon 3200+ XP Barton
Corsair PC3200 1GB dual-channel
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
SATA HDD 200GB (no RAID)
generic keyboard
Logitech wireless optical mouse (not G5)

Who in their right mind plays a GAMECUBE out of all systems?!?!

out of what other systems? the PS2 is right next to it, or am i missing the xbox?

whats wrong with the gamecube? graphics aren't any different from the other consoles.. and since i like mario games, that is the primarily reason i have the cube.

Just you wait, Nintendo is going to take over the gaming industry.

Wii is coming to a household near you.

The ONLY reason I would get a Gamecube is for the Zelda series. That was the bomb! And Perfect Dark for the N64... Best SYSTEM EVER!

just built this beast.

Pentium Extreme 3.73Ghz Dual Core / HT
4GB Crucial Ballistix pc2-6400 DDR2-800
2x 150GB WD Raptor 10K 16MB Cache running on Marvell raid controler / intel matrix (raid0)
Asus P5WD2-E Premium motherboard
Asus Nvidia 7900GTX
Asus DVD / CD-Rom drives (2)
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
Thermaltake W0057RU-01 PurePower PSU
Thermaltake Tai-Chi case w/liquid cooling

Can I have that ..... ?


/drools

Sh*t man! Water-cooling.

That's some hard-core stuff you got there.

But I am still an AMD fanboy. I wouldn't run my computer on an Intel chip.

I just wish I had bought AMD stocks three years ago.

i'll post some benchmarks soon, then you might change your mind about being an amd fan

not comparing apples to oranges, but i guess it really depends what you want your system to do and what you do with it... i've stuck using intel because i get better performance on the applications i run.

where intel wins amd loses and where amd wins intel loses.

3OS: WinXP Professional 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build #2600) 3CPU: AMD Sempron 2600+ (Thoroughbred) , 1.84 GHz 3Video: Default Monitor on nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (1024x768x32bpp 75Hz) 3Sound: Realtek AC97 Audio 3Memory: Used: 126/256MB

my computer is the best

This is a picture during the troubleshooting phase of my current rig. I didn't buy a floppy drive, but I needed it to install the driver for my new SATA HDD. So I had to hook up my old machine to the new one and install the driver from the floppy.

I didn't want to physically remove the floppy drive from the old computer, that's why I pulled this trick off.

lol i remember doing something similar, but then i bought one of these external floppy drives.

Build me a new computer Sebastion

I forgot to tell yea Sebastian i would change your water block to the DD, you will get at less 5c or better, that water block you got its not all that there

thats so fucking cool
but what do you think about that beauty
200Mhz Processor
8Mb RAM
VGA Graphics card
Windows 3.1
I thoml everybody wants this computer

cool take it to museum.

killer, your waterblock looks smaller than mines.

i like your SLI setup. i wanted to have 2x 7900GTX but this P5WD2-E Premium motherboard supports ATI crossfire, not SLI. so i bought two 7900GTX for no reason, now i have to return one of them

i was thinking of buying two ATI X1900XTX cards even though i really wanted to stick with nvidia (mostly because drivers, etc).

i could of bought an nforce motherboard but i cannot find a motherboard that support my memory: ddr2-800 along with my pentium EE cpu.

i think running just one 7900GTX is fine right? i really wanted dual cards though.

If it's not too late to return your card, I would.

If your mobo supports dual graphics card, it only makes sense to have the hardware it supports.

I admit that I am an ATI fan.

well the mobo supports dual cards, just ATI's crossfire version.

i rushed and bought this mobo without fully reading the specs.. it's a great top-of-line mobo but with the lack of SLI.. for some reason Asus choose to use crossfire for dual card setup on this board.. i dont even know if their going to make this same mobo which supports nvidia's SLI.

i use ATI as well, i have an X800XL, but wanted to build this system with nvidia cards.

the problem i have about dual ATI cards is i want the X1900XTX, but to run dual ATI cards you need a "master card" which i've found the X1900 - but i would have liked both cards to be the same... not an X1900 and an X1900XTX, both cards are almost the same, but the XTX is a little more powerful.
