I can do about 75 FPSon average on CSS with settings on high (4x antialiasing and 4x anisoptric filtering). No artifacts. Same goes for Battlefield 2, but I only get around 45 fps with settings on medium/low for ES4:Oblivion. That's one hella demanding game.

What's with the sudden influx coming in to brag about their modded cases?

koobeeny · « **Reply #232 on:** April 30, 2006, 06:58:48 PM »

My case isn't modded, but I think it looks pretty darn nice for $50.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811156166

That's the "new" version of it, I guess. Mine looks exactly the same, it's just that the front looks a little different and I have one more fan. And mine cost less.

Processor: Pentium III 550MHz processor
Memory: 256K
Storage: 20GB hard drive and a card reader (I am not sure if I am supposed to be using camera memory cards as spare storage space)
Operating System: Ubuntu Linux (Go ahead and laugh)
Printer: HP C62
Graphics: ATI Rage Pro somethingorother (I found it in my junk box)
Connection: Netgear router on a cablemodem
Mouse:Logitech laser mouse (who cares?)
Se-440 BX2 motherboard with on board sound.

Go ahead and laugh, it runs Openoffice and OpenRPG and my art programs just fine, Firefox, GAIM, a *sniff* custom-designed telnet interface, Movies, Burns CD's and DVD's and plays them, Email, hexedit, Quake 2, Mindrover

Well, okay, I have been nursing this thing along with upgrades since '98. and I have a REAL computer back in the bedroom if I want to play games.

Truthfully, for a utility machine, who needs anything more? I built it, I maintain it, I fix it when it has a cold... it's my baby.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #234 on:** May 10, 2006, 04:18:53 PM »

Nothin' to be ashamed of. I've had "Damnthing" as my utility computer since '99. It's a PIII 450 with 389mb of RAM running Slackware 10.1. It's still chuggin' along just fine on that. I figure I'll keep running it and it will keep serving its purpose until the hard drive gives out or the power supply, whichever comes first.

SLI doesn't do THAT much, anyhow. With lower-end cards it does, I suppose, but the difference between 1 and 2 7900GTX's is trivial, at best. Now, 4 7900GTX's does show a noticeable improvement over 1, but it's still not really worth the money unless you're rolling in cash.

My opinion: Don't blow any major cash on a vid card between now and DirectX 10.

Ya know, you could get 300 more MHz out of that CPU, making it much faster than a 3200XP

Steelbelly · « **Reply #246 on:** June 30, 2006, 01:39:31 PM »

Don't hate me.

I built my last 3 rigs from scratch. It's damned hard getting decent parts brought into the island, so I either bought it in during trips, or risked damage (a fairly regular occurrence) shipping the parts in. The last one was a 2.8 gig P4 (I know, AMD's better), with a gig of ram, GeForce 6600GT vid card, and 300GB SATA drive. It went pop (lightning storm), and I ended up buying a Dell Dimension 9150 in sheer frustration. I popped in my wireless card and HDD, and bought a GeForce 7600GT to replace the crappy card it came with. I also upgraded it to 2GB ram. Next time, I'll probably build from scratch again- I just didn't want to wait 2-6 weeks for the parts!

cHtHuBing left when I asked him why his pictures were hosted on someone else's server and displayed as someone else's computer on Neowin's forums. He never responded even though I saw him online afterwards, so I assume he was ashamed of being caught out over something so incredibly lame as leeching computer pics and claiming them as his own.
