Vista - Show us your rig

not bad there Dave.. lookin good. How is that BE working for ya. what is the speeds you got that running? Doing any overclocking. I'd love to see some benchmarks of that with those ATI cards.. or even better, a new 4870 with that 9850 BE. if you have any Mark06 or anything.. How well does that BE overclock? and loco is right, we don't have many "Flamers" as you called it, Here. People here are pretty good with that, and need to have a certain level of respect to continue to enjoy it here.. but when you do, it's a great forum and people are very helpful. I've enjoyed it. I hate the places where I ask a question about this or that, and someone says oh screw that.. Nvidia sucks.. you shoulda got this. That never helps. thats why I love it here. people are always freindly and tryin to help.. (Usuallu, but I can be a dic# at times. lol jk)

and not bad there either Reaver. looking good, you need some aftermarket cooling on that CPU tho. if your clocked from 2.13 to 3.0 GHz. Whats ur temps with that stock fan. I know that cpu only takes 65w to run so could be pretty good on temps. what are ur idle and load.. I've been lookin into keeping my Q6700 and maybe getting a e8600.. so I can crank her up to 4.5 GHz and have some fun during gaming. but not sure. cuz I'd be going back to 2 cores from my beloved 4.

and Axon, that 19 isn't so bad.. I have one.. next to my 22 inch Widescreen.. lol
So why packard bell, was that the cheapest. or you get a good deal. LCD's are getting really cheap these days. I might sell my 19 and grab a second 22. that would be ideal for me. although I highly doubt I'll find another Sammy 226BW

It was cheap + a good friend of mine sold it, so I got it from him at a low price because we're friends .

€100 (Price new = €170)

When it comes to cases there is one thing to think of. Some people buy an expensive car that is a nice ride. Compy, really expensive, does not look that good. It is not that fast either. Same as a case that is solid , quiet nearly silent and looks like a brick. Then there are people that buy a car, spends lots of money on the engine management systems and other mods. This is the same as overclocking the rig, making it look good and squeezing as much as you can out of it. This is becuase people are different. Some people just get a rig make it quiet and like to put it in the corner and leave it there. Other people like me and alot of people on this forum are like, "hey I built this, modded it, made it faster, look at it". Everyone is different. It all depends on tast and what you want out of your machine.

OK guys, Here is also my newest member of the family. I sold my 19 inch Dell LCD monitor to someone locally and used the cash to get a second 22.

Now I have matching, well close to matching Samsung 22 Inch LCD's.

I must say, I'm lovin it. hehe I got the Samsung 2253BW. supposed to be my other panel's brother, the 226BW. both look great, and to be honest. many people say the Samsung 226BW S panel is the best monitor ever.. and i love mine, but this new 2253BW looks better. It has a more realistic look, even at the same settings. It's amazing and I love it. they both have 300 brightness and a 2ms response time. So I'm thinkin I might make this new one my Main screen.. not sure yet tho. Here's a picture for you all.

Oh and the right side is the 226BW I've always had, and the left is my new 2253BW. it looks shorter, but thats cuz it's sideways. I'm still not sure how to angle them on my desk. anyone have a suggestion as how I should put them. thanks!

congrats on your 2253BW xguntherc. very nice!

I just bought a new samsung SM-T220HD 22", just need to save for a 2nd one now

Ya I almost got that screen. but the Red on bottom turned me away fast!

Its very suptle.

@ xguntherc
