Here's mine, I built it about 2 years ago I think. I don't really remember, haha. Older specs but it works great and I only use it for music, movies, downloads, and typing on forums.

It's a single core AMD Opteron 1.8 ghz overclocked to 2.9.
2gb of ram, 250gb sata hard drive, and an ATI Radeon x1300 that I got from work for free. Plus a 22" widescreen from Velocity Micro.

Sorry for the cell phone pic

Here's mine:

Intel Core2Duo 2.4ghz (OC'd to 3.0)
4gb Corsair RAM
250 SATA2 + 500 USB external drives
Nvidia 8800 GTS 320mb

Monitors are a 22" Acer WS sitting next to a 19" Viewsonic. My 360 is hooked up to my Acer also via VGA.



Yes, I'm kinda messy. Also visible in the picture is my PSP, DS and 5x4 Wacom tablet.

I sold this machine about 2 years ago, but the specs were:

P4 2.8 GHz, water cooled after this pic, OCed to 3.3 GHz
2GB RAM
Radeon 9600XT 256MB Video Card (Also watercooled, OCed by 18%)
80GB WD IDE HD
It was hooked up to a 21" Viewsonic CRT




Now I just use a Macbook. It does everything I need it to do and is much easier to take care of.

BTW, I had the same desk as Lenas, but in silver.

That's... creepy FGJake. I have a PC in the same case (sans window) and the identical desk. Mine was an Athlon XP 2600+ Barton, 1.5gb RAM, 8GB HDD and a Radeon 9800XT. Its still sitting under the desk actually as it's been replaced with a 20" iMac recently...

Not the nicest I have ever seen, but definitely a really clean looking set up.

Installing the w/c stuff isn't hard at all. You just need to draw out the flow to make sure the water is going in the right direction.
And as for leaking...I have never had that happen to me, and there are quite a few places that I don't even have clamps for as the tubing holds on to the barbs rather tightly. It all depends on the diameter of tubing one decides to use.

Trying to get it cosmetically appealing takes the longest, by far. I think it took around 2 days to get it fully installed and cleaned, along with bleeding of all the bubbles in the loop.

The other two air cooled rigs take no time at all. But once again, it's the wire management and other 'looks' related things that take most of the time.

Btw, here's a face on pic of my current rig.

I think W/C is my next project, i just keep spending my money on my car, and nothing gets left to upgrade my PC ( parts are nearly a year old and very outdated now)

Haha, I'm the opposite. I've spent way too much on my computers.

But since my rigs are pretty good for now, all my concentration is on my car.

But yea, let me know if you're going to w/c and I can link you to a few places with pretty good prices.

Sorry, my desktop is nothing special at the moment. All my money has to go towards other things.

Nah man, I just googled it. My case is actually older than anything inside of it, lol. I just built my desktop one day when I realized that I had enough parts to build a whole other computer.. All I had to buy was a keyboard and mouse.

BUT, I have considered doing my own lego tower though..
