Why only one 480? You've already hit the point where you've got a stupid amount of cash invested in your rig (ain't it a great feeling?) so just slap another in there. The 480s aren't that awesome when run by themselves.

Yeah, I'm not so good with computers and what's inside, I just compared stuff and asked around and eventually just ran out of money.. Lot of fun putting it together though. I'm thinking about upgrading it and get a new monitor when cash is flowing.

The 480 is a great card, but yeah, they're best run in SLI. My rig still has some holes in it too though. I want to get a better mobo so that I've got more room to work on it. The p6T SE is a great mid range board, but I'd like to have some more room down on the PCI slots. Once I've done that, I'm gonna slap an Nvidia in as my second card and run a hybrid rig using a driver hack. The raw power of the 5970 + Nvidia's PhysX. Fuck yeah.

Recommend any upgrades to my current setup? Other than setting fire to Windows7 and getting 95 instead.

 

[ImprovizoR]

Good choice of case my friend
Heres mine:

Case : NZXT Tempest Evo

I was fuckin' pissed when I saw the new Tempest. I wondered why didn't they paint the original Tempest black inside. I had to paint my case myself and that is a tedious process. I also put the side panel fan on my PSU (just cause LED PSU is cool) and I bought a faster fan for the side panel. LED is blue but new fan is actually orange.

Lol, what's wrong with W7? I've been using it since Beta and love the shit out of it.

Tbh, you're mostly fine for now. The 480 is a great card so don't worry too much about SLI'ing it (though it is a beast when SLI'd). I would get a sound card in there at some point though. The difference in audio quality is gonna be huge.

The only reason I'm not running crossfire in my rig is just cause my x16 slots would put two 5970s right next to each other, and I'd rather not start a fire inside of my case. I could watercool the whole mess, but I'm not particularly motivated enough to jump into that.

Ever tried playing Kings Quest or Duke Nukem 3D on W7? It's like a big monkey giving it to you in a real unpleasant way. I tried playing DN3D yesterday and I got a real weird error: *Achtung, W7 wollen nicht spielen diese spiel!*. I got worried my pc would goose-step out of my house.


Other than that it's ok. A bit flashy and a bit show off, really.

 

[superbatranger]

I have no idea what the specs of my laptop are, seeing as how it's a crappy 5 year old hand-me-down. I only know it doesn't even have 1 gig of RAM, a small hard drive, constantly freezes and crashes, can't run any games whatsoever. I say it's time to euthanize this hunk of junk.

Oh, and I only use it for school, internet, and that's it.

I honestly have no idea what the hell is in my computer, I really only use it for school (Word, Excel, and Powerpoint)

I do know that it can't play any games from after 2000...piece of crap

You know a Mac can do all of the things you listed...some people have different computers than other people for different reasons. I don't get why this PC v.s. Mac thing is still going on.

Anyway I have both a Mac and a PC and I use it for all of the above.

The topic is "what's inside your PC?". Macs aren't PCs, they're Macs. And the customizing on them is horrendously limited. And they rarely come with any kind of gaming capabilities as far as graphic horsepower goes, but on top of that, the game selection that's compatible is quite limited and mostly you can only be a gamer on a Mac with Bootcamp which is kind of a whole nother can of worms.

Regardless, this wasn't even a PC vs Mac thread. You need to get your head out of... the sand.

 

[TehCookie]

Inside my PC is a piece of felt. I lost a screw to the fan and it started to vibrate against the case to make a really annoying sound. The felt muffles it. Take that all of you and your fancy computers!

Get my head out of ... the sand? Haha

Wow. Ok ignoring your improper use of an ellipses I guess I will respond.

I know the title of the thread, I was just saying there was no need for the "I have a Mac" section of the poll.

Yes I know you will argue "what do you mean? It's for people with mac! Get your head out of... the sand"

But I am simply saying that selection was added with a purpose of starting trouble.
