How many of you are into computers? I built this system from scratch. I specked out every part and bought everything separately for this, and I configured and over clocked it myself. What kind of gaming rigs do you guys have?
BTW I built this thing like a year ago. Back then i was king! lol

I can’t wait to save up $700 so I can get an Intel Core2 Extreme QX9650. Right now the CPU I have is worth $30 on eBay, But I've over clocked it to 2x factory frequencies ;D

red hat? are you running linux? at 2x74gb hdd's thats not much memory. that is a very slick looking system though. ;) ive got a pretty much stock dell inspiron laptop that i upgraded to a 300gb hdd and i also upgraded the ram to 2gb instead of the 1gb that came in it. i want to get a desktop just to see what i could do with one. i have so many ideas but not enough money... ::)

Not a bad system you have there, I am rebuilding mine now. Heres my current specs anyway...

Motherboard: Some really old thing (upgrading soon)
PSU: 400W Silent (upgrading to 500W)
RAM: 2GB DDR2 (upgrading to 4GB)
CPU: Pentium 4 running at 3.01GHz (upgrading to Pentium Duo)
HDD: 250GB SATA
GPU: Saphire Radeon 9550 256MB (upgrading to nvidia 8800GT)
O/S: Windows XP Professional

Pretty quick system despite the old motherboard and graphics card.

It’s RAD HAT for (radiator hat)

The 2 x 74 GB RAID drives are for the operating system partition. They are two 10,000 RPM raptor drives in RAID 0 mode. I have a second computer with 1.5 terabytes which I use for my data storage over gigabit Ethernet.

This is my rig:

AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition @ stock speeds

Kingston Valueram 2x2 GB

MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard

Western Digital 640 GB hard drive

Club3D Radeon HD4870 512MB

Antec Nine Hundred chassi (didn't pick it because of the design, the main factor was the cooling)

Not yet xD I did run a 3DMark right after I built it, but the HD4800 series doesn't perform so good in 3DMark. I guess I could install it later to try.

And Niko, NO WAY! :p I used an old P4 1.7GHz with 256MB RAM until a few months ago, so I deserve this computer :p

Antec case with analog temperature and fan speed gauges
DVD Read/Write
8-slot memory card reader
Three HDD hot swap hard drive system and cooler
Quad-core 64-bit Intel processor at 2.8GHz per core
1066MHz FSB
8 GB of RAM
Dual 8800 GTS 512MB video adapters in SLI mode
Samsung 24" widescreen monitor at 1900x1200 resolution
Windows XP 64-bit
Monsoon sound system.
10 SATA-300 slots
I currently have 1TB of hard drive space.

Extreme? Maybe. There are a few upgrades I could do that would put it over the top but performance per cost ratio doesn't justify it as there isn't a game my system cannot run as is.

Oh cool xtremesystems.org :D Haven't posted there in ages...well since I stopped overclocking. Awesome, seems computer geeks and lasers mix, eh? ;) My nick on there was [ZIZI], still hold a WR ::).

Very nice system.

Here is a pic of my system back in the 754/939 era. (sorry guys for bugging you again with this pic).

And here is my new system a laptop...perhaps the most extreme system of all?!?!?
