^I've been on this rig, he uses inbuilt speakers which of course sound like absolute anus. Also Realtek 7.1 isn't a component XD

Edit: My specs are an Athlon two thousand and something that's been underclocked 'cos of a lack of thermal paste that I got from a friend, FX 5500 I also got from a friend, 512mb RAM, DVD-R I found in the dump, 15" LCD I've had for years, 4.1 speakers bought off next door neighbour which only takes a 2-channel input for some reason. With 200gb and... 60gb I think it was hard drives. In a vanilla case. Needless to say I need an upgrade.

Damn, the dual Voodoo2's,and SCSI setup beats my old P200 (with MMX!) configuration. Up until a week ago that was my main machine since the AthlonXP 1800+ stopped booting a few months earlier biggrin.gif

Over the last few months I researched many upgrade paths and settled on this midrange setup:
  • Asus M2N-X motherboard
  • AMD AM2 X2 4000+ (rated 2.1GHz)
  • 2GB kit of Corsair Value ram, 667MHz operating frequency.
  • Donated nVidia 7300LE, 512mb DDR2.

As expected, it met my design criteria of at least a 50% improvement over the last machine. Planned upgrade to the VGA is a 7600GT, for a total system cost of $380. A Counter Strike Source VGA stress test showed about 59 FPS at 1024x768, max quality, no anti-aliasing. Approximately 30 FPS better than the last machine, and I have yet to update the VGA, so I'm very happy with this setup smile.gif I'll be running the PCMark benchmark to put a number on that improvement.

Operating systems: OS/2, Windows 98SE and Windows 2000, though Windows 98SE craps out on startup due to "Insufficient Memory". I am investigating a registry edit which should allow 98 to boot. There are just some old games that run better on 98SE, such as Recoil biggrin.gif

Oh, and I'll be bringing the P200 as well. With a new 48bit LBA IDE card, it should make an excellent file server. smile.gif

I too have upgraded, with the G92's around the corner and PCIE and DDR3 aswell... I thought I'd go midrange too.

the 60g is my mp3 drive and the 80g is for my o/s both are 7200rpm im a tight ass so when they die ill replace them. i have a quantum fireball in 1 of other systems still going strong.

Planing on Fan moding my X1950pro with a Tt DuOrb, The Tt lanbox is a hotbox , would be ok for systems that ant overclocked. As is iv had to drop the VGA clock due to the heat . looking to build a new system to play with 45nm would be nice , have yet to find a release date.

it seems that "pimping" cases seems to be a thing of the past now, its more about how much your case has inside it biggrin.gif

judging from respawn 6 there are still alot of people casemodding, less so than previous respawns and lans i used to attend.

neon
i've grown out of case modding. In 2004 i had a Thermalcake lanfire which i blinged to billio....

since then i bought a CM Stacker and bought a window for it and put UV neons in it with cable sleeving, but now i only mod for cooling. i modded 2 x 120mm fans in the side, and a 120mm fan in the top - i have black cable sleeving that came with the psu, and no bling to speak of.

why that board? Why not something like an EX38-DQ6? Do you need 64-bit pci lanes for a raid controller or something? I think i have heard that the pci lanes on that board have problems. Someone on ocau had issues with his raid array not being as fast as it should.
