Right now I'm on a simple P67 build with a 2600K and the 560 Ti, coupled with some cheapo Dominators (1600MHz CL9) and the smaller 64GB Crucial M4 as my primary disk. It used to be my work PC, but when your main PC draws around 1600W, you just tend to stop using it if you have a 500W alternative.

Once I'm done with my exams though, I'll get back to fixing up my real gaming machine, and I'll be sure to post pics when it's done <:

To Start of, NavyChief is not the one to Troll

Secondly. It's against TAW regulations to Troll, so he would not do it even if he wanted to. That is his rig.

There was another thread with this topic so I am just copying my post there down below:

______________________________________________________________________

 

My speccs are:
Intel i7 2600k @ 5.4Ghz OC
16GB Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600Mhz
ASUS Radeon HD7970 3Gb @ 1100 MHz OC
Creative SB1090 X-Fi Surround 5.1
Corsair Force GT SSD , 120Gb
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
BenQ 24" TFT GL2440HM x3 (Eyefinity)
Steelseries Sensei
Func surface 1030
Steelseries 6Gv2 Limited Edition Cherry FX
Steelseries Syberia 7v2
Logitech X-530 Högtalare, 5.1,

 

Here is some Pics

 

Adding this picture so you can see my Temp on the CPU. I ran a test just now (I played Tribes followed by BF3 then I rendered a HD Videoclip before this test) Then I let it go Idle for about a minute before I stresstested it with IntelBurn Test on 64-bit mode, 4096MB Stresstest for 50 runs. and here is the Temp results:

You all should check out my specs. You ready.......................................

 

A 4-5 yr old laptop. And I have no idea what all those specs listed above mean. Sad that I used to be a network engineer huh :( I miss when processors could be compared simply by their speed not a cryptic numbering scheme.

I had to look up the definition of troll to ensure that I understood this clearly.

 

Wikipedia has the definition as:

 

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

 

As most people would agree, I do not troll or willingly post any misleading information. I try to be honest and upfront in all my endeavors or discussions.

 

My current rig is around 2 years old now. It has undergone some slight upgrades over this time and I am already at work compiling the parts for my new build. I really do enjoy building computers and find it relaxing yet challenging.

 

I am hoping to have the new build completed for this year's Quakecon in August. I will try and post some pictures of the new build as it progresses.

Sorry, my son has been patiently waiting for it for the past 6 months.

 

I am going wipe the hard drives and completely disassemble it in July. He will have to clean the water-cooling components and reassemble everything. He is getting it all for free but will have to work to get it functional again. No better way to learn about something than doing it yourself.

 

I want him to embrace technology and not be afraid or intimidated by it. He must know what is inside his computer and what to do should something not work.
