I got the tower and stock parts for free, and still going from that, its an older HP with a large P3 and roughly 1gb of RAM, dual drives (30gb, 250gb), 32mb Graphics card (3dfx), ASUS motherboard, Creative Sound Blaster LIVE! surround sound card, older surround sound card, extended USB ports, HP CD-RW drive, Original Floppy and a custom paintjob for everything with it =).

I have a modest little system I built last summer:
AMD Phenom II X4 Black edition 955 @ 3.0
ASUS M4A78-TE
6GB DDR3 1333MHz
Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5
Seagate 500GB SATA II x2

All in an Antec Nine Hunred Two case with water cooling...

I just never really bothered with pics:dunno:

It's hard to know what i wanna throw money at; Ranger, computer, or firearms :icon_twisted:
 
Cpu: AMD Athlon x3 445 (3.1ghz stock) oc-ed to 3.75 with fourth core unlocked

Careful, you know that many of the tri cores are quads with defects, right? I tried unlocking the third core on the 2.7 I had (when Socket AM3 launched, CPU'S for it were pretty limited) and I couldn't unlock the 4th core and boot. that was after updating BIOS and making sure I had a compatible motherboard. Good Luck:icon_thumby:
 
Wow...so i forgot i posted a thread lol my bad. but ah yeah

Dangerranger: i have the stock cooler on the cpu dont see a need for it not yet anyway it idles at 15 degrees Celsius and highest its ever been was 35.

Rangerkip: ha ha a floppy drive Ive never used one ever in my life. although im only 17 so that's probably why

James: lol "modest" but ah yeah the 300$ was supposed to be for rims for my truck but i couldn't take the dinosaur computer i had so had to get parts for it. And the Cpu hasn't had an issue with the 4th core unlocked i did tons of research before i dared to try it first.

Scott: yeah sure i got to download the updates though (takes for ever i hate them with a passion should be a auto updater)

and heres some pics i took with my phone..no camera so yeah taken about a month ago so missing my other 22" but the one on the left is a 15" tv/moniter from LG
