What I stare at to prove I have no life. Philips 17" LCD monitor. I definitely have no life spending hours sitting in front of this everyday. :P Umm, excuse the mark on the screen, I think that was from my finger from when I was eating. :-[

This is my brains computer. You can see some of the specs on the front on the stickers. AMD dual core, Nvidia GeForce gfx card, 320GB HDD 2GB RAM etc. The HDD LED may look like it's on (the little blue light below the reset button) but really it was off, it always appears blue, just lights up whenever HDD being used like any other computer. You can also see the cables and plugs and stuff, the PC is useless without them of course. :P
good thing i have my DSi handy for pics.
What you taking pictures or something? ;)
yeah.. hang on 2mins

i took these with my DSi so crappy quality lol
trick of the light, my case is silver not white k? and it has a door at the front hehe
nice setup there bro :P let me guess you built it yourself or something? ;)
yeah. the GFX card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX+
my cpu is AMD athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+
you can see its mixed lol
and i have 2GB of RAM which is more than enough
Your PC and mine is sort of even, I have Athlon 64 X2 3800+ running at standard speed 2.4GHz, gfx is Nvidia GeForce 7600GS fanless card for quietness, 2GB RAM, 320GB SATA Western Digital HDD, in fact I'll get a picture of the guts of mine
and here we are. Well an old pic it's PSU has been changed for a decent one since then and has less cable clutter but more or less the same. :P

The old PSU in this became very unstable and the PC kept crashing and the screen kept displaying random faults which disappeared when I purchased and fitted a new PSU, the old PSU was for starters not powerful enough it seems, and it's fan was also noisy. My PC is very quiet, I have a front case fan now, a rear case fan, and the side intake for the CPU fan can take a 80mm fan so I added one onto that, and its still quiet yet has lots of airflow. :P
Also, Gleech its good to see your Mac finally. Wow the size of the screen though thats huge. XD
yeah XD
The best part, is that theres no tower to it, the CDs go in on the side.
my dad has one too. :)

Yup... Don't have much room. Totes right beside me, About 4 and a half feet away from the nearest tote, and I have about 2 - 2 and a half feet to walk. Not good for a guy who likes to pace...

My dad got it... its barely different from vista.
exept for the fact that it is faster and more responsive... as well as alot of other improvements.
I'll probably hold off for a while, can't afford it right now as car is getting repaired and I just don't want to upgrade. :P
Anyway I did a global performance benchmark on my PC to see how good it is, and here's the results:
(http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy117/Naruto14290/photos/computer/benchmark.png)
The CPU is crap according to it and so is the memory. What I might do when I have the money is upgrade the CPU as this board supports Phenoms etc. CPU is shit compared to the HDD. :o

in a fps(first-person shooter)game like Counter-Strike, you can see through walls with wallhack or just being able to locate your enemy's location.
ah right well thats not a wallhack it appears to be some sort of emulator glitch with Quake 64 where I can look through walls and stuff and see the sprites through the walls, and sometimes all sprites on the screen flicker on and off rapidly, or is that a same thing? only I didn't have to hack. :P
that fails...

Well I had some downtime while the forum was down as well, due to my own problems, my CPU had failed, so I replaced it with a Sempron, and all being well the PC works again. It seems to be running just as good with the Sempron.

Inside the PC. I removed the Gigabyte branded fan from the rear to the front, as it is very quiet yet has lots of airflow, and added a 80mm Foxconn fan from the CPU cooler to the rear. The Foxconn fan is noisy, however I added a PCI fan speed cooler to it, to turn it down to a quiet level.

Was noisy, now quiet exhaust fan. Even though it has been silenced with a variable fan speed adjuster, it still gives off a lot of air flow and the PC runs even cooler than ever before.
good u managed to fix ur comp :D
i also got a new fan because my mb was heating up heaps. all fixed now i have about 5 fans lol.
Is your computer actually noisy with 5 fans? :P
its actually pretty good, just a little above average which doesnt bother me when i think about the performance im getting :P
Ah right cool well I am obsessed about my PC being quiet, all fans only give off a slight hum, and you can hear the HDD being accessed, but it's not too loud, I have to rely on the blue HDD light being lit in noisy situations. :P

Well I had some downtime while the forum was down as well, due to my own problems, my CPU had failed, so I replaced it with a Sempron, and all being well the PC works again. It seems to be running just as good with the Sempron.

Moved my desk now the PC is repaired. Here is the computer in it's new location.

Inside the PC. I removed the Gigabyte branded fan from the rear to the front, as it is very quiet yet has lots of airflow, and added a 80mm Foxconn fan from the CPU cooler to the rear. The Foxconn fan is noisy, however I added a PCI fan speed cooler to it, to turn it down to a quiet level.

It's actually easy when you get used to it, I had experience from toying about with an old Compaq Presario desktop from the late 90s. I learned all the different parts and gained experience like that, so I was self-taught in this stuff. I am also self-taught when it came to electrical stuff, but to get qualifications I had to go to college anyway. ;)
A few pics of my computer during the wait for repairs:

On the dining room table, waiting for the part. That's why you see a pair of socks which happen to be mine. :-[

The HDD has to be forward a little bit due to the front fan, therefore causing a tight fit between the HDD and the CPU fan. HDD is a Western Digital Caviar Blue.

The processor gets installed in this, and the heatsink gets installed on top. The heatsink takes heat from the processor and dissipates it away from the processor to prevent damage. ;)

Thats the new processor installed with the fan over it, so you can't see it. :P

Neat cabling for the front, fan connection and HDD cable. :P

Final shot, the computer getting the HDD wiped when XP is getting reinstalled. The HDD LED is lit up in the pic. :P
Lol SMD, why not get 7? :3
I didn't have enough money to buy windows 7, I don't have a powerful CPU and I needed the money to get my clutch recalibrated in my car which was not cheap. :o
imma download 7 and try it out before spending 300 bucks :P
I just never bothered upgrading really. :P
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Screenshots/temps.png)
Thats my CPU and sytem temp when I have been playing a game. I was playign Earthbound using the SNES emulator. The system temperature and CPU temp had risen a little, the CPU only by 2 degrees. It typically idles at 30-31 degrees, and the CPU fan runs under 2000RPM then. :P
Screenshot is of Gigabyte Easytune5 motherboard monitoring software. ;)
my motherboard fucked up a bit just a few weeks ago. it was heating up to 60?C, had to pull things apart and re-arrange them... my computer kept FREEZING (LOL) at that temperature
what kind motherboard do you have? I use a Gigabyte motherboard, it was the cheapest decent board I could find yet it was the best board I ever owned. XD
Not quite sure atm how do i find out?
I only know my motherboard make because I purchased and remember who made it. :/ maybe device manager can tell you somewhere. XD
its an ASUS i know that
that explains it, they arent exactly the best boards. I had mine overheat a lot. :P
Maybe put your Asus computer on quiet office (Fn and Space then get to quiet office)
Wow Shadow26 you know way more about computers than I thought. XD
I got more pics of my computer as I decided to move the tower on the floor where the desk is now. :P
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Photos/Computer/EB.jpg)
My desk is way better now. I am playing Earthbound as you see, and I have a can of Rockstar. :3

The PC where it should be. It's slightly blurry but oh well. You can see the power switch uses a white LED to illuminate it. :P

Exactly young one......xD
Hey I am not young anymore, I am 20 next month. ;)
Yeah i know.I just want to make you feel young ;D
Well I am really young compared to the asshole boyfriend of my sister, when he was my age, it was like 20 years before I would be born. ;D
that just makes me uncomfortable...
Did it work Fusion?What i said about the Asus computer and it's heating up?
Mah piece of lovable junk; Acer Aspire (no, that's not my reflection. My screen is REALLLLLLYYYYY dirty)
(http://i45.tinypic.com/2klz0w.jpg)
And a semi- closed view. It's really thin, but I didn't bother taking more than two pictures. xD

Lol Draco. I almost have the exact same laptop.
Hey guys,look on the desktop.It's Megaman Jr! :o ;D
ha i put my comp in front of the air con and nowits fixed XD
erm draco whys ur screen so dirty ^_^
XD I am bidding on a quiet new fan on ebay to add to my PC. All fan vents will be in use then. :3
actually i kinda like the noise of mah aircon goin on next to me XD its also a way to beat summer :D
I have a friend who loves fans he collects fans, and takes pictures of air conditioners, he gave me a free fan which is over 30 years old, it's really cool and I am using it now. :D
However, I like my PC being as quiet as possible. :P
My laptop also doesnt make any sound. Except if its reading a CD lol.
my computer makes some noise but thats because 1 fan is noisy but thats getting replaced along with another fan added to the side of the PC where the CPU intake is, the only other noise I hear is if a disc is in the drive, or the HDD being accessed.
meh, i like noise.
I rather quiet, I only really like the HDD access noise.
I like the noise of my POPCORNZ <3

My total uptime right now. :P Well, the ethernet didnt disconnect for this time and thats how long my PC has been running since I last turned it on. Yeah I know, I pull a lot of electricity from the wall outlet all the time.
ROFL smd XD
Nice, keeping your comp on for 3 days.
XD as long as all the components keep cool, it should run for a very long time. I managed to have it on for 2 weeks straight one time until a power cut happened in my street. :3
I would never do that. NEVER XD
I really need to change my PC background picture. It's been up there for a couple of years.
lol my bg is somethign new every few days.
SMD, my comp has been running since before xmas lol

I'm going to leave my PC on for as long as possible as of right now 5 days, 1 hour and 52 minutes it has been running for non stop. Someone told me if I leave my computer on for more than 12 hours it will crash. ::)
that guy obviously has an unstable computer XD
His overheats a lot funnily enough he told me I should never leave my PC on overnight as it will catch fire. XD
then he is a retard... who doesnt have any fans.

*hugs computer*
Well you all know my computer is awesome. Time to show what I use for when I print. :P
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Screenshots/printer.png)
I have my parents Brother multifunction shared on their computer so I can print when needed from my own computer.
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Photos/Computer/moto_0103.jpg)
And this is it. ;) Sharing a printer over a network is very easy to do. :P
i have my own printer.

well woop de doo. jk :P
I'm getting my own printer soon I had a HP up to about a month ago its ink is FAR TOO EXPENSIVE. >:(
Im also having a printer, but it only supports XP and lower while im having 7 -_-
Brand new fan installed, for extra cooling, on the 80mm grille on the side of the case which used to have an air duct.
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Photos/Computer/stealth.jpg)
Vantech Stealth fan. The reason it's called Stealth and has a Stealth bomber pic is because it is meant to be quiet, ie you don't know it's there.
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Photos/Computer/side.jpg)
Fan installed in the side of the computer. You can see through the bottom vents too.
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Photos/Computer/grill.jpg)
A nice personal touch is to install a fan grille on the other side.
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad112/lucariomaster46/Photos/Computer/fan-1.jpg)
Although it didn't look it, it was spinning here. :D
you and your quiet fans XD
