Vista - Show us your rig

If I had any money, I'd definitely build my own rig from scratch again. Last time I had cash I went to Dell.

STOP SCREAMING!!!

The idea being that it was just as I had started university, I new I wouldn't be able to afford a new computer for a while whilst studying and with the 3-year warranty I haggled down to "free" - I was completely covered should anything go wrong.

Lots went wrong, and after some more arguing (4 days) I got myself a brand new, fully upgraded computer for the cost of nothing (well, nothing except the phone call) and you'll find the details in the wee drop down box.

It's nothing much to look at, but I'll upload the pic of the whole thing once I've found my micro-SD to mini-SD converter chip

cant wait to see the pics

Just took 2 pics @ the last minute 07.03.09@2:00am ...I'd figure why not...still working on installing 2X12" blue neon tubes, and my other gpu when there's enough cha ching in da bank.
Enjoy
Just realized that I forgot to put my sound card back in before i posted those other 2 pics...here's more.

Ok, here's me last night reinstalling windows, and killing time:



Here's me the next day (having also killed time tidying the night before):



And here's the inside. Fairly boring really






To be honest, after seeing some of the rigs on here - I'll most definitely be building my next PC myself. Maybe if I stuck a discoball on top of the tower, or even just tape a small torch to the side of the monitor which I can flicker on and off... who knows

I changed it up ;D

Hello everyone,

As I promissed in my fisrt post, here's my new system. Most of these parts are not easy to find where I live at and they are surely expensive so I couldn't build a super cool pc. I'll try and make a LCS and MOBO upgrade in the next few months but for now, it'll have to do. I tried to do my best with cable management but with this PSU having all that many cables, it was very hard.

Cheers!

What speakers are those and sweet rig its so much more organized than mine :\

Looks good mate

Looks like you actually did a fairly good job with that from here. The only way I'd see you being able to get them more out of the way would be to get one of the cases where the side compartment is accessible to run your cables through.

Thanks guys!
These are some Creative 2.1 (Cant remember the name very well srry). They do the job if you are not concerned about extreme HD audio. I even use the on-board audio card and I can't complain :S Only problem is the volume thingy... after 2 months, it began rising and lowering. I need to go and buy the electronic variator to replace it.

I don't know exactly what you are talking about here... Can you please throw some examples at me? It's not gonna be now but one case I have in mind is the Cooler Master 2000s or any TT Armor. Do you mean something like that?
