Guest JabbaTheSlut Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 pentium 4 1.6 o/clocked to a 2.0Ghz (using a zalman flower BTW Mono, v quiet, and hella cool) 512DDR 2100 RAM Radeon 9600 Pro Asus P4333 Mboard(i think!!?!) Creative Live card, with livedrive and 4.1 speakers DVD Rom 52x CD-RW and a variety of cards, firewire etc etc, all PCI slots used :s photo to come tomorrow, as i`m going to become the proud father of a 17" TFT and need an excuse to show it off when it gets delivered!!!!! Jabba
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 Yep, i've only heard good things about the Zalmans (except the weight of the full-copper one, nearly .5Kg!). Should make short work of cooling my OC'ed 1700+. I got it running stable at 1.661GHz using a Thermaltake Volcano 7 HS and 2.6krpm fan @ ~50deg celcius. That was standard voltage (didnt want to risk upping that due to cooling issues). I'd up it again (reset after flashing the latest BIOS onto my board), but my cpu has been 48-53 deg celcius idle since we've had this hotter weather :/ I'll wait a month or two and get the sweet cooler, then i can get OC'ing again :lol:

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 Presumably due to the Raid0 hdd config :lol: (See: http://www.acnc.com/04_01_00_flash.html for an explaination of different Raid array types...)

Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 NB: Posting at 5am again, can't sleep. Please ignore spelling and grammer. MECX Mr_Protozoa you serious winxp pro Sp1 loads in 5 secs????? how do you do that then--my system is at the top and im running winxp pro SP1?? Yup it's true. Kinda. 5 secs (or a bit less) to LOAD WINDOWS from a hibernated state. Obviously this time doesn't inclue the bit before windows loads, POST, RAID setup etc..... I barely ever start windows from cold nowerdays, winXP is stable enough for me to use it for weeks without the need for a proper restart. This speed is mostly down to the RAID array I put in a few months ago, it's pretty funky. It does have a downside though. If one of the two drives dies I can't recover any of my data! :shock:
Guest siu99spj Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 My get up is quite ancient now: AMD Athlon 900MHz Gigabyte Mobo (Unsure which) with RAID inbuilt 512MB NEC SDRAM 80GB IBM 7200RPM HDD 40GB IBM 7200RPM HDD 30GB IBM 7200RPM HDD SB Live 5.1 Bulk GeForce 2 GTS Pro 64MB Studio PCTV NEC 10/100Mbps card (From Uni times) Hitatch CML174SXWB 17" TFT 16ms! (New - used to be crappy 17" Belinea crap) 52x LG CD-ROM 16x NEC DVD 24x10x32x LG CD-RW ZIP-250 (Internal) NEC Generic Floppy MS Intellimouse Explorer Pro Wireless MS Natural Multimedia Keyboard Broadband Modem Logitech Z640 Speakers XP Pro SP1 in about 2 mins (From power button) Its OK, but it does just about what I want it. Hoping to upgrade towards the end of summer up to a 3GHz P4, Zalman 7000 cooler and PSU, DVD±RW (Sony), Radeon9800Pro AIW, 2x160GB RAID0, SB Audigy 2, Sweet Aluminium case (Full Towers in steel are way too heavy!), Logitech MX700 (Ms is far too slow for me) and the keyboard from my old system (Just love natural goodness and the quick-keys). And yes, I am a PC based nutter! I have, for example, abot 300CDs, 200 of which are dedicated to single CD Movies (DivX). I'm truly a nutter! :twisted: :twisted:

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 Athlon 1700XP with Zalman copper flower heat sink :) IWill motherboard 384mb ram (I know not enough :oops:) Soundblaster live 5.1 original geforce 32mb card 80,30,15,8 gb hard drives and the usual cd writer, dvd, network card zip 250 etc, etc Time for an upgrade soon when HL2 and Doom come out. Now use the laptop and PDA for modaco and my other systems are hardly used now.
Guest spacemonkey Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 I think I'll win crappiest system in the thread (so far) I've got a Fujitsu laptop PIII-m 750Mhz 256 Mb Memory 40 Gb Harddrive 8 Mb ATI Rage Mobility Oh, well... I'm planning on getting new kit... maybe when I get a new contract :) What I really want is a nice small box with a LCD flat screen. Like one of those Shuttle SSI units or something... can put together a reasonally specced one of those for about £800
Guest JabbaTheSlut Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 why is it, when your waiting for something to be delivered you constantly look out the window when something sounds remotely like a courier van and time goes sooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooow its like christmas! i want my new stuff!!!!!!!!`
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 Dell Smart PC 100N (laptop) 1.06GHz Intel Celeron M 256MB RAM 20GB HD 14.1" XGA TFT display Integrated Intel 3D AGP gfx card (rubbish) Internal Soundblaster compatible sound card (also rubbish) External USB floppy drive (it doesn't have an internal, or a serial port for that matter...) 4x USB external CD writer (yes ok, I should really buy a new one!) I've attached a pic of it when I had to take it apart when the keyboard completely failed... Not exactly what you expect with a Dell, but all that had happened was the keyboard connector had become unseated so I just had to wobble it around a bit. laptop keyboard surgery.jpg
Guest JabbaTheSlut Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 quite concerned at the fact you have a hammer next to your keyboard, couldnt have been that bad :) Jabba
Guest SirGaz Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 ASUS A7V8X motherboard 512Mb DDR2700 RAM Athlon 2800 30Gb HDD (looking to upgrade towards the end of the year to a 120Gb at least) Radeon 9800 Pro No sound card (on motherboard 5.1 dolby digital but only 2 speakers) I'd love to have the PC set up with the surround system but as I have both a 5.1 TV and a seperate Amp and they take up the 10 speakers in the lounge 8)
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted June 26, 2003 Report Posted June 26, 2003 Jabba, don't worry - I was only using the hammer to losen some of the screws... I'd never taken my laptop apart before so some of the screws were super tight. So to sort this out I hammered the screw driver lightly on the problem screws, and hey presto - problem solved!
