and yes all the Heat Sinks fans are right.. There suppose to grab all the hot air form the GPU and CPU and force it out the TOP of the case which also has fans..

 

Hot air rises quicker then it dose when getting pushed out the back of the case.

Is that a Cooler Master Hyper 212X/EVO I see in the second system and Cooler Master HAF-922 chassis for the second and third system? :3

yes thats a cool master HeatSink.

And no. I only select Antec chassis for my rigs. Completely screw/tool less system.. make for upgrading, cleaning super easy

expect with the server I didn;t pre-build that.. I got it on a very good cheap deal at the time... Despite being a pre-buidl acer.. the case is also screw/less including swaping the mainboard out...

Linux does what win don't! Has anyone seen that Youtube video?
I'm just kidding. I plan on getting Windows 10 eventually. That give me time to save up some cash.
 
I had a windows 7 Asus pc that I purchased off Craigslist. Sadly, I think it crashed and died. The fans were loud, and because of that, I couldn't concentrate. That's probably the reason I don't attempt to revive it. Plus W10 is coming out, so I rather just get a different PC. It would over heat too. Specs: AMD quad core, 4 gigs of memory, 2 terabyte hard drive, 750 watt power supply, windows 7 duel boot with Linux mint, and a Raidon graphics card.
 
Now, I took my parents old Dell PC. It still had Windows XP installed, so I did a complete install of Linux ultra secure on a new 120gb ssd drive. This Dell computer originally had 1gb of ram, so I took from my dead computer its memory. Current specs: single core cpu, 4gb of ram, 120gb ssd drive, and the cheapest graphics card I could buy. Now I have a computer that is reliable, quiet, responsive, and does what I need it to do. I'm satisfied. But I'm really wanting a more powerful computer with Adobe programs, can download emulators, and play any PC game I wish. I can only get that with Windows. I don't think I go mac. Too expensive. I'm planning on duel booting with linux and W10.
 
Oh yeah all my computers are desktops. I usually stay away from laptops unless in the future I find a need for one.

I own a HP Compaq Presario CQ43, here's the specs

 

 

Processor: AMD E-300 APU 1.30 GHz 1MB L2 cache

Graphic Card: AMD Radeon 6310 integrated memory up to 4GB

RAM: Originally 2 GB but I replaced it with a single 4GB DDR3

HDD: 500GB 5400 RPM

Screen: 14" LED 1366x768x32

OS: Originally Windows 7 32 bit but changed it to Windows 8.1 64 bit

 

 

This is a budget gaming laptop (well close to 'gaming'). I mostly bring this laptop for almost every occasion since it can still play high end games in the lowest settings (like GTA V, that game's awesome). I'm currently taking it to college.

I got myself a brand new laptop to hopefully tide myself over until my desktop gets back in working condition (hopefully soon!):

 

Intel i7-4510U @ 2.00 GHz 2.60 GHz (I have no idea what in the world that is supposed to mean... lol)

12GB RAM

1TB HD

Windows 8.1

 

That's all I really know about it. It has integrated graphics, so it wouldn't be able to play my game... But that's almost twice as much RAM as my desktop. xD And my desktop has an i5 processer... Weird.

i3 3110m @ 2.4 GHz

NVidia GT610M

4GB RAM

750GB HDD

Windows 8

 

Buck my life, I can't bear playing Borderlands without good fps.

  • 2 weeks later...

i7 @ ~3.8GHz complete with copper heatsinks

GTX 870 (i.e. laptop equivalent of a 770)

8 GB DDR3

1TB HDD

 

All in a laptop for ~$1400, so not too bad.

 

inb4 should've built a desktop. I know, but I take this thing all over the place, the portability is totally worth it.

I got most of these parts on sale. The Dell Monitor I got from a old Dell Insperon system we had, and I got my second GPU from a friend for Christmas since he upgraded to a GTX 980. I got the OS keys from my college through Dreamspark.

I took this picture in the dark to show off the lighting and to hide all the stuff on my desk. (Mostly stacks of Magic The Gathering cards and a box with a few sets of dice.)

 

Edits because I forgot peripherals.

I have a laptop with Windows 7, a core i3 dual core 2.4 mhz processor, 4 gb of ram, and not sure about graphics. I hope to upgrade soon so I can make more complex video and photo edits.

Dual-boot Mint. You've got 1.5 TB disk space total so I would assume you can find 20 GB to install Linux.
