Post your rigs specs
I Just wanna see what you guys are working with. Mine isn't anything too spectacular.
Gigabyte EP43-UD3L mainboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU Stock 3.00 OC'ed to 3.6 with no power mod, and aftermarket Coolermaster fan and heatsink.
750w Okia Power supply
Nvidia 9500 GT 1gb, Stock 550 clock, OC'ed to 580 clock
WD Caviar Blue 500gb HDD
Samsung 22x Lightscribe DVD-RAM burner
8 Gigs of DDR2 Avant Technologies RAM
3 40mm Red/blue/green LED case fans
And that's about it other than Windows XP Dark Edition (Based off of Professional, with alot of helpful tools added)
I'd like to look into building either a PC based off of a server board so that I can go multi processor and access the 10gh/z / 64gigs of ram possibilities.
Also lately i've been hearing about Liquid submersion cooling. I watched a video where this computer forum promoted their site and suspend an Nvidia Motherboard, 2 gigs of ram, and a e8500 on the inside of a fish tank and placed the power supply at the bottom of the tank along with a solid state hard drive. The power supply was connected to an exterior on off button. He booted it up and got to the desktop and loaded a simple game. All that was covering the CPU was a stock heat sink, I think. They then proceeded to fill the tank with a little more than 6 gallons of mineral oil.
They also sell this kit (Only a shield the hang the motherboard, the tank, a radiator, a pump, mineral oil. No MOBO or Processor or anything like that.)
The Radiator is so that you can go to even higher level equipment and even overclocking. I think this would be a great way to run a gaming PC. They said that their PC has been running long and strong for 2 years so far.
