My home-built PC:

I haven't built one out of my hands, but with Dell, I choose the stuff I wanted, do you want me to post the specs?

It's a laptop, Inspiron 6400

Dual 2 Core 2.83ghz
2gbs of Ram
nVidia 7200
and a poor 140gb HDD

 

[King zack252]

Still 2.8 Ghz and 2 Gb ram isn't that bad
as long as no lag then thats good for a laptop, i know because I've got an old Hp dual-core athlon and it sucks

 

[LastSpartan]

Playing CSS with 1024x??? resolutions, with all the graphics settings set to High.

No lag at all.

 

[King zack252]

Sweetness

Yeah its a little over kill but you know what they say bigger, faster, better. that and when i compile my code it just does the job so much better. don't build this unless you want to drop so seriose coin.

Looks like me and Air Force have something in common, excuse the copying but we have a very similar setup..

ASUS M3N-HT DELUXE/MEMPIPE AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

ASUS EAH3870X2/G/HTDI/1G Radeon HD 3870 X2 1GB (512MB x 2) 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported

CORSAIR Dominator 2GB (3 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel

Windows XP Professional x86 only supports 3GB of RAM anything over that is overkill and doesn't even register with XP

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31000340AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

1X OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V Power Supply

2X LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe

2x Acer AL2416WBsd Silver 24" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 400 cd/m2 1000:1

Case is a custom Steel casing, metallic blue with plexiglass window and front cover. Analog tempeture guage for overall case temperature. Apeva fans with blue leds. Luckily I came across my newegg bookmarks for when I bought this thing piece by piece. What do I do with all this CPU power you ask... I'm a pretty hardcore gamer and an independent filmmaker, which is pretty necessary for all the hardcore rendering that takes place on this computer.

Cheers,
Kensai

Thank god core 2 Duo and SATA, IDE does suck, SATA rocks!!!

4 GB dang i wish i had your PC or Air Force's PC thats a rig right there. All it needs it Quad Core and SLI 9800 GT cards Triple SLI woo hoo!!

 

[Toby]

The SATA thing will happen by itself: my mobo has like 8 or more SATA ports and a sh*tty IDE to SATA chip
but as I said, SATA-II is well worth it, for the sake of HDD with NCQ. works a treat if you're defragmentating.

@kensai111: Windows XP x64 sucks balls, consider Vista x64. I'm really getting to like x64.

[CPU64]

I don't have any needs for a massively powerful machine. Since I do renders, I rather have several OK machines instead. That way I can render and work at the same time.
Anyway, I did build a little Frankentoaster.
I saved a little emachine:
733MHz, 64MBram, 10GBHD, cd-rom

Changes: 384MBram, added SCSI card and 4GB SCSI HD. Case fan.

The little sucker is so much fun to play with. Like a vertical old school xbox

You do know XP and Vista only recognize up to 4 gb right?? The other 4 gb is wasted
