Lets all brag about our computers :D

[Lovely Mixture]

Originally built my rig with this [http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/how_build_awesome_pc_647?page=1]. I had put everything together correctly, but I hadn't bought the recommended Motherboard and the RAM was not compatible with it. So some professionals made the appropriate fixtures.

Two years later, I wanted more RAM. So I bought a new MB, Power Supply, and the RAM. I upgraded it myself and felt pride.

So now I have:

Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6GHz Socket AM3
RAM: 8GB
GPU SAPPHITE Radeon HD 5770
HDD: Seagate 500GB Barracuda

Runs Windows 7 64bit edition. If I get a new HDD, I might dual boot with Ubuntu.

Other stuff:
Power Supply: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M700 RS-700-AMBA-D3 700W
Mother Board: MB GIGABYTE|GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ R

My keyboard is just a normal small logitech. I recently bought a new mouse though, CYBORG RAT7 and it works wonderfully.

 

[ReadyAmyFire]

i7, 5870HD, 12GB, 1TB+250GB, Win7, there's water in it, um what else... oh, it's right next to my bed and the peripherals are all wireless so I can snooze and browse

Oh yeh, P6T and 900W power box (I discovered these today when I looked inside it)

EDIT: Regarding the expensive gift, my father bought me a Subaru Legacy for my 20th. A little ashamed of that.

 

[Best of the 3]

My laptop fixes itself when I hit it. I love my laptop sometimes

 

[Ccx55]

Oh, you have a GTX 560?

I have the 570! Hah!

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

1.3GHz Intel Celeron processor.
3GB of RAM.
Integrated graphics.
124GB hard drive.
Integrated speakers.
Not a disc drive in sight.
64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

Like a boss, man, like a fucking boss.

Nah, about to order this [http://www.ebuyer.com/338539-zoostorm-2nd-gen-core-i5-gaming-pc-7873-0407] for uni though, once my savings bonds come through. I would have built my own, I read a number of walkthroughs and watched a few videos on it and felt pretty confident, but this has to last me through uni with no fuck ups so it's for the best that I didn't build it.

Mine has an "Offical Jedi Knight" sticker on it, as well as an i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a Free Comic Book Day sticker, and that's just the laptop.

My PC is an awesome and crotchety machine named after my grandmother. It gives me a strange and cryptic beep-code every time I try to boot it up, and I have to restart it. It's almost two years old, as far as hardware goes, but it's a living testament to the fact that you don't need $1500 worth of hardware to play Total War Shogun: 2 for 80 hours.

 

[RanD00M]

I have nothing to brag about. I built my computer in 2009 and the two things that I have upgraded are the GPU and power supply. I'm still running Windows XP.

 

[ResonanceSD]

So I just finished ordering a new computer for myself
So I thought I would come here to talk about it.
Heres what I (by which I mean Mum & Dad) ordered.

ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Performance MoBo
16GB of Corsair Vngeance RAM
LG Blu-Ray DVD Combo drive
Intel core i5 3550 (with ivybridge)
OCZ Fatal1ty Series 750w Modular PSU
Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core GPU

This is an early 18th birthday gift.

So, fellow Escapists (Escapers? Escapees?), what are your computers like?

EDIT:
I also got a 21.5 inch Samsung LED screen and a Logitech G105 keyboard.

P67 Sabertooth
8GB Vengeance 1600MHz
Same DVD Drive! =D
i7 2600K @ 4.6GHz (SS on)

[Jingle Fett]

Intel BOXDX79SI Motherboard
3.2ghz (3.8ghz with Turboboost) 3930k Sandy Bridge-E Intel i7 (6-core/12 threads)
Nvidia GTX 560
16gb DDR3 RAM
2TB + 500gb HDD
2x Monitors (23.5'' each)

The 3930k is pretty beast; I do a lot of CG work, compositing and video editing so a good processor and lots of RAM was essential (it's quite lovely watching 12 buckets rendering an image in 3ds Max). It being really good with games is just a bonus...

I just purchased a set of computer parts, too! We originally thought it was £900 quid but it turns out we forgot our OS! So that brings it to about £960! Oh, god, it's gonna be phenomenal! This is my first computer I have owned myself and it's a big, powerful beast, about the best we could get for the money. This gonna be a GREAT summer! The case was a last minute decision over a cheaper case. I forget the name, but it was pretty expensive. About £110. You get what you pay for, though and it has great aesthetics! The computer as a while is very me. It should get the parts next Sunday and, knowing me I'll really love building it. It's a relatively simple job and it's the kind of thing I get my jollies from. And, yes paid for out of my own pocket.

Please don't look at me that way....

 

[Olas]

I bought mine for under $200 because I'm poor, yet I've never found a PC game I couldn't play on it.
I never buy games within 2 years of their release though (saves buttloads of currency, again I'm poor) so I can't say for sure whether it can play the MOST recent games. Handles ME2 just fine though.
BTW: I know nothing about computer hardware.

 

[Leemaster777]

My computer has a Bananaman sticker on it

I bet yours doesn't

My computer is being guarded by Soundwave.

I bet yours isn't


OT: Nothing too special about my computer, spec-wise. Got alot of porn on it, though. Does that count for anything?

 

[DukeGren]

2 X Gainward GTX580 Phantom 3GB,
Intel Core I7 2600K 8MB 3.40GHz,
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3,
16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz,
Corsair AX1200.

I do intend to OC it at some point, that is when I get around to buying some decent liquid cooling. But right now everything seems to run fine.

 

[Shadow flame master]

I have two MacBooks, the Pro and the Air. They are both quite nice, but in terms of what everyone else has, they don't even spit in the direction of the computers on this thread.

 

[loc978]

5 years old, built with my own two hands, still plays modern games (albeit at medium detail). Just an AMD dual core with an NVIDIA 7950GTX and 2 gigs of RAM (oh, and a little over 3TB storage).

...I should build a new one, but I now have a problem with every version of windows on the market... and there's no point in upgrading for running Linux, I don't do much video compiling.

 

[DEAD34345]

You guys got nothing on my computer. 2048MB Ram (recently upgraded), 2 GHz Intel Pentium processor, and the icing on the cake is my Intel Q35 Express Chipset Family integrated graphics card. It can run Morrowind! [sub]With only a few graphical artifacts![/sub]

To be honest though I'm lucky to have the thing at all. When I moved house a couple of years ago the computer was in a bin bag which also happened to contain a large bottle of bleach with an improperly secured lid. When I picked it up it actually leaked bleach all over me from inside the case. Yet I haven't had a major problem with it to this very day (other than, you know, it being a crap computer).

 

[EHKOS]

Aspen Mobo with integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 upgraded to 4550, AMD Phenom 9650 X4 @ 2.3GHz (the only decent piece left on this rig)8GB RAM, Vista SP2 64-bit, 700GB HDD with an added 1TB.

I think I need a hug.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

My computer has a Bananaman sticker on it

I bet yours doesn't

My computer is being guarded by Soundwave.

I bet yours isn't

My computer was built by Batman.

I bet yours wasn't.

 

[Promethax]

My computer is prone to malfunctions and can't even run TOR, but I'm the only one I know who has one. Therefor, I win.
