This thread was started in 2004? Sadly thats about when I got my computer. amd fx-53 at 2.4 ghz, geforce 5700 LE, 1 gig ddr ram, and an asus sk8n board. I think its about time for an upgrade. Preferably something multicore. :P

Wow, that is very impressive guys.
I have done some changes my self also but not much. All I changed was the case and added extra HDD. Everything stays the same, so:

MB: Asus M2N68 AM2+
PR: AMD Phenom (4 procesors) 9950+ (2.6Ghz)
GC: Asus 8800 GTS 640mb GDDR3
RAM: 8GB DD2 @ 800mhz

+ Visboard graphic pen monitor (19' - W)
+ Added 2tb to inner space for only 140 euros (so now I have 2,5tb :P)
+ Added scaner to my computer VIA USB

and in mean time made a new configuration out of old parts :P just for fun.

2nd configuration:

MB: [Unknown] S939
PR: AMD Althon(tm) 3500+ (2.2Ghz)
GC: Geforce 9500 1024mb GDDR2
RAM: Only 1024mB @ 400mhz xD

+ Samsung SyncMaster 172 (17' - 4:3)

P.S. I am using both computers, and they are both running Vista SP2. ;P
Cheers

Since I have almost no money now I don't get to buy new hardware, and I like that. My systems are bad ass, and its good enough for me :P

The only thing that I did is that I upgraded both systems to win 7 and I ditched second setup and reattached the second screen to my first computer.

P.S. I think I did put some of pictures here of my machine. ;P

Cheers :)

I have bought myself some months ago a GTX295 dual PCB. works really great ingame, but also some better viewport rendering.

If i want to upgrade my PC now I will have to buy a whole new machine I guess to make it worth the money. Something like dual quadcore xeon, a quadroFX and 24 gb of ram! (I'll have gray hear and a nurse before I get that )

edit: btw Travis, I have an old GTX260 somewhere around here. Interested???? :p
Also check out this link Nvidia GeForce to Quadro Softmod Guide Unfortunately it doesn't work with GTX2xx series anymore.
