that a sweet set up

The BTC Killer · Sep 29, 2005

Sweet, I would get rid of the IDE cables and get the new cobra cables. They are a lot less of a mess, and encourage a cooler environment. From your vid card, are you a gamer? I run a ATI radeon 9800xt, it's pretty cool. What games do you play? I recommend half life 2 and counterstrike source.

[P]okey[B]ear · Sep 30, 2005

with the amd processor I got Half life 2 free

[P]okey[B]ear · Sep 30, 2005

i'm a devout 1.6'er though I'm in a clan in cal main #divine-intervention

Hopingbig · Sep 30, 2005

source sucks ass, i mostly play 1.6 and bf2

also yeah clean up that cabling

[P]okey[B]ear · Sep 30, 2005

yeah I'd have to agree but source is the future unfortunantely just like they do to the better editions of cs they make them worse and battlefield 2 isn't really my style.

Italy=WerO= · Sep 30, 2005

Very cool!

The BTC Killer · Sep 30, 2005

CS source is 1.6, thats just the current version. I'm in a clan also check out urban-assault-clan. Best server on the net.

[P]okey[B]ear · Sep 30, 2005

yeah well when trying to start it up found out that the original c drive is bad. So yep gotta transfer everything off the f and reformat it.

[P]okey[B]ear · Sep 30, 2005

it glows.....

TimBo755 · Oct 1, 2005

mm yeah, i got a sempron 3100+, gig o' ram, 250gig hd and a 6800gt for under $500.00 and a 17" samsung 730b for 180. i love this machine. aside from being able to overclock it, since its a compaq (laughs)

They're diff games. 1.6 runs on the half-life 1 engine and source runs on the half-life 2 engine

[P]okey[B]ear · Oct 1, 2005

HL2 sucks balls though

[P]okey[B]ear · Oct 1, 2005

it's a fun system though I just got to use for first time today

Empire55 · Oct 2, 2005

Pimp my PC.

Take that scoop for the CPU out and put an LED fan facing INWARDS. that'll give that CPU more cooling, it will look kewel and you will extend the life of the CPU.
Good luck with the new toy!

you need a monster tach for the hard disk.

[P]okey[B]ear · Oct 3, 2005

Are you serious? You posted pictures of your computer on a Penis Enlargement forum? Now a car or truck I can understand, even pictures of your progress, but your computer? Your computer?
