So for those of you who do not know this is a comparison of computers, and since computers provide entertainment I decided to post this here, and the other section was looking loney. Also it will provide me entertainment if people participate. But how it goes is basically you just post your specs, the more detailed the better and the better your computer is the bigger your e-penis or e-beauty is. Obviously e-penis applies to men, and e-beauty to women. Also if anybody has a better idea of what to have the name for the women be that is better let me know. I have only ever heard the e-penis and it fits since the vast majority of men want a bigger penis, but for women the only body part that might fit was boobs, but the number of women who want bigger boobs is much less then the mens case, so wolfe figured beauty, which fits, but to me is not as fun to say. Anyway here is my new computers specs....
Name - Midnight CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86 Ghz Overclocked to 2.8 Ghz (Plan on more but I am lazy right now) CPU Cooler - Tuniq Tower 120 with Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste Memory - 2 Gigs Corsair XMS-2 DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 Timings (Plan to goto 4 gigs in a few months) Motherboard - BFG Tech Nforce 680i SLI Video - BFG Tech Nvidia 8800GTS 640MB Overclocked to 550 Mhz Core, Stock 1600 Mhz Memory (Can overclock to 580/1900) Sound - Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Hard Drive 1 - 36 Gig Western Digital Raptor SATA (For Windows) Hard Drive 2 - 250 Gig Western Digial SATA (For Games) Hard Drive 3 - 400 Gig Western Digial (For Downloads/Music Videos) Hard Drive 4 - 500 Gig Seagate SATA-II (For TV Shows) Optical - LG Dual Layer Lightscribe DVD-RW Case - LianLi PC-G70B Black Fulltower Powersupply - Enermax Galaxy 850 Watts Keyboard - Enermax Aurora Black Aluminum Mouse - Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue Mouse Pad - Generic 5 Dollar Crap One (Someday I will get a new one) Fingerprint Reader - Microsoft (Only one they make, got it since I am lazy with passwords) O/S - Vista Ultimate (Using Readyboost as well with a 512Meg Flashdrive) Speakers - Klipsch Promedia v2 400 (Plan to get a 5.1 system eventually) Monitor - Ultra old and failing iiyama vision Master Pro 450 19 Inch Non-LCD (Plan to get a 24 Inch Dell LCD, but ran out of money) Printer - HP Deskjet 940c (Plan to get a wireless laser printer, but money thing again) Floppy - None, finally!!! Thank you Vista. The Rest - Rounded Cables As Needed, Wireless Belkin Network Card, Generic Flash Reader Current 3DMark2006 Score - 8874 In Vista (Would probably be 1-2k more in XP but I probably will never test it for sure)

I don't mean to insult you, Area, but I really hate it when people post their specs online. It seems too close to bragging, and I hate bragging. I saw a signature on another forum that read something like "you are not your post count, you are not your bandwidth, you are not your graphics card, you are not your clock speed, you are not your mods" which I agree with. I, personally, do not care what other people's systems are set up like. (and if I wanted to participate in this sort of thing, all I have to do is say 'I am a Unix/Linux user' and I've got all Windows systems beat in speed and security; to say nothing of functionality) Don't get me wrong. You want to be proud of your new system and brag, go right ahead. But I reserve the right to be apathetic. Maybe Wolfe should add 'rant' to the list of moods ...

All in all though sounds pretty nice there, looks like you will be able to play S2 fine when it comes out. You should overclock your cpu though, the C2D chips overclock very easily, even with the stock fan, which I assume might be what you have. Also you must have literally just made it since those nforce 650 boards are only like a month old I think. I was mad because I bought my board, then those came out the next day and they do everything mine does except I think not 3 slots for SLI, but since I do not plan on even doing normal 2 SLI I could have gotten the 650 and saved like 200 bucks and got more mem, better videocard, or something, oh well though.

I may as well share a small story. About 8-10 months back, I decided it was time to get a new case, on the grounds that the old one was beat up and the plastic was cracked. (it lived a whole 2 years! I knew a cost of $10 was a bad sign ...) It also only had 3 x 5.25 bays, 1 x 3.5 external bay, 2 x 3.5 internal bays. Then again, I didn't need much, since I was originally planning to slap an old motherboard + PII processsor in it (with a LAN card, a 25GB hard drive, and a 150W power supply) and use it as a server. I ended up with an X-Static-2It cost me $55 Canadian (45-50 US), which seems like highway robbery, but I left out one little detail ... my supplier included a 600W power supply with it (at no additional cost, of course) ;D

Even without a ps it looks like it would be worth it, do the little blue things have bubbles in them? My case was like 200 with no ps, but I will be using it for a long time. My case before this was a generic white full tower case that I bought back in the AT motherboard days at an electronics store. I used it from a Cyrix PR-200 up to my C2D. I had to modify the power switch to work with ATX stuff and cut some random holes along the years to make things fit, but it was a good case, even has a turbo switch. So the one I have now I will use for 10 or so years probably, unless new motherboard dont fit in it.

The tube lights have bubbles in them (there is even a little gray button above the bays that turns the two column lights on/off)
I've been playing around with molex connectors, seeing if I can wire a switch to turn on/off a power chain (the idea being to chain my mods on that connector, then I just have one switch to turn them all on/off)
It sounds easy enough, but it's not working right now. No clue why.

I checked and its over clocked right now to 2.6Ghz. My main priority with my system is Does it run, Does it run fast, and does it look pretty. (The peripherals anyway) the case doesn't really matter cause its recessed into a wall cause I dont have alot of desk space so the nifty blue lights just show in the front.

hehehe, um I found my boxes that we had kept from the upgrades. :Blush: some things I had to ask about too LOL There is some info you can find in a DXDiag file, um and I dont know how to access it in Vista but I'm sure there is a was to pull up what the system is running. Area should know being master Vista

Well it all depends, are you going to list the specs of your laptop? If so then you can always just go online to look for those since they normally use such proprietary parts anyway that it would be very hard to figure out the specifics. The 3dmark2006 program I was talking about would probably be the best thing to try since it tells you all the info, but its also a 600 meg download. There is other programs out there that are much smaller, I just dont know any of them since I have no need for them, but I will see if I can find something.

You can use the dxdiag program, but it does not get to specific, but that is fine. Its the same as in XP to get to it in Vista, its in the Windows folder, then System32 and the program is called dxdiag.exe
