Current rig:

Processor: Phenom II 955 BE
VGA: ATI HD 5770
RAM: 4GB DDR2 800 MHz
HDD: WD 1TB Black
Sound Card: Creative X-fi Xtremegamer
MB: ASUS 790FX
PSU: Thermaltake 600W

Upgrades sometime this year:
SSD: Either Intel G3 or Crucial C400 depending on price and speed. At least 120GB.
MB: Upgrade to 990FX chipset come June
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866 to accompany my motherboard purchase.
VGA: Depending on how demanding PS: Next and BF3 are I may upgrade to the next gen come the end of the year.

[Rbstr]

hrm:
i5 740
4gb of DDR3 at whatever speed I forgot.
Asus mobo
assorted hard disks...I think my main is a 1tb WD green.
275GTX....eVGA?
PCI-e X-fi soundcard.
sweet black brushed aluminum Lian Li case that's crazy quiet.
23in 1080p LED Asus monitor (it's GLORIOUS!)

I think I'm gonna do some upgrading with the tax refund: 4 more gigs of ram, new HD and a clean install. perhaps a new video card. I'm getting this intermittent freezing issue after periods of inactivity, I think it's hard disk based.

[The Desert Fox]

I love your setup Gryphon, and I updated with Pics lol

Mine's smaller :(

I am actually quite embarrassed about my rig since it is starting to get old. :)

But here goes some specs I am currently at work so can't show any pics.

CPU: Intel Q6600 2,4gz Quad
RAM: 6 GB DDR2 800mhz
Power: Corsair 520W
MB: Asus P5N-E
Hard drive: Sysdrive is 500 GB and storage disk is 1 TB

Grim if you overclock that Q6600 you will breath life into that system. Depending on the stepping you can get between 3.0GHz to 3.6GHz. 2.4 to 3.6 would yield a theoretical 50% performance boost. G0 will let you get the highest. That will be comparable to almost any Phenom II squad at the moment. Only thing holding it back is the current speed its running. The 8800 GTS 512 was a beast during its time as well.

I like it a lot as well, I have 2 here and one at work.

[Hamma]

I had that case on one of my old systems :brow:

[Bags]

My computer is so pimp I run without the side on because it rattles. :(

I've got this, but it doesn't have the side or top vents.

What in the world is using up 2gb of ram?

[Sirisian]

What in the world is using up 2gb of ram?
Modern operating systems use the RAM as a cache for previously opened programs. You won't normally see this if you only have 1 GB of RAM. If you have 2 GB you can expect Windows to use 1 GB to store things into that you might need later. I could turn it off, but it's not that big of a deal. Having 16 GBs and it's a fresh installation I could expect a lot more to be used later on actually. I do have page file and many other I/O features in windows turned off to let my SSD live for years.

I never understood "Gaming" laptops.
They aren't really portable and they're more expensive and less powerful than a desktop.

I've found that if you forget about playing hardcore games on the portable and have a desktop you get a better machine for both tasks.

[Hamma]

Going to have to agree there. I've never quite understood the gaming laptop market - it also usually ways 300 pounds.

[Sirisian]

It's only 8.7 pounds. :lol: I'm a graduate student so I tend to keep my computer close moving between my parent's house, campus, and work it helps to have something you can take with you. I think my 5 year old dell inspiron laptop is heavier actually. I'm 6'2" so I can't really tell the difference between carrying a computer bag on my side versus not having it.

Part of it is also I used to go to LAN parties a lot and I took my old gaming laptop which was nice. Packing up a desktop every weekend to go to a friend's house was a PITA. Good times playing Planetside at my friend's house around a table actually.

Also price wasn't really a question since I don't spend money, and I have two jobs.

Speaking of speed though the i7-2920XM is the 15th fastest consumer processor which can be overclocked to beat a lot of the stock processors and the 485m is a beast. I'm not trying to brag, but I'm just pointing out that "gaming" laptops have come a long way since their dragtop past.

[BorisBlade]

Just got my new rig last week.

i7 2600k (sandybridge) overclocked to 3.9ghz (from 3.4 stock)
Dual 240mm fan liquid cooling
Gigabyte P67A-UD7 motherboard (about as good as it gets and designed for overclocking)
8gb 2000mhz DDR3 RAM
EVGA gtx 580 overclocked
250gb SSD + 1tb HD
950w power supply
inwin Dragon full tower gaming case. Tons of extra fans and cooling. love it.

Also picked up a nice mechanical kb and a Razer Carcharias headset (which im very impressed with).

And before you ask about the mobo choice and high power supply, yes im only runnin one graphics card atm, but im set up and ready to add a second. That was intentional. But ive been runnin crysis 2 maxed out and still gettin insane fps' so im not really in any hurry just yet to shell out another 500 bux on another overclocked 580.

Also this was an upgrade from my old system which i got when ps was only 2 years old.....yeah 6 year old pc was top of the line when i got it but felt like i was using an abacus nowadays. So the upgrade was rather huge. =D

[Traak]

Asus Lamborghini VX2S in yellow. Look it up if you wanna see a picture of lag and being confined to doing CE because PvP is a slideshow.

[Traak]

Going to have to agree there. I've never quite understood the gaming laptop market - it also usually ways 300 pounds.

Some of us don't have a permanent home. For example: myself, since I got the lappie, here: Hawaii, Oklahoma, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Honduras, Vietnam, Canada, Thailand, and now back in Honduras. It's "laptop or no gaming".

I FAR prefer a huge, power-slurping tower, replete with unnecessary lighting and gew-gaws.

But, I can't be anchored in one spot for long (figurative) so a lappie it is.

Better's a day spent playing PS on a laptop than a day with no PS. Even as the lowly "gets ownt by cloakers" engineer that's helping the other guys "play safe."

[Sovereign]

Lol, I'd love to see the empirical evidence to support the claim that all laptops nowadays are allegedly 300 pounds... :D

I can bear witness to the fact that my Asus is only 7.4/8.8 pounds, granted some would consider that "heavy" probably because their so bent out of shape and weak...

Here are the stats : http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus-g50vt-x5/4505-3121_7-33496181.html#reviewPage1

[Rbstr]

I'm in an out of class and two different labs all day. It's not the fact the the laptop alone is heavy, it's the books and binders and other junk that goes along with it. The battery life is also a big issue. I hate having to pack up the charger every time I shift places.

I get it if you're very transient...but if you mostly go home to one place a thin and light notebook and a mid-upper range desktop are just so much better at each respective task than a big gaming lap-scorcher. Even the the 480m is a cut down mid-range desktop card, remember. I've found my mobile graphics to be adequate for a little gaming now and then, like when I'm visiting my parents, though not on high settings.

Yeah, it was either hassle with it and try to get it to fit, or just stick it on the outside. It's my old hard drive and I only use it once a month at most so I didn't feel like properly installing it.

Planning on selling of my main system's CPU and VGAs to start saving cash for a new build later on in the year for PS. Looking for a Nvidia card for the Physx support, unless AMD is early to the game and I will just get low end VGA for Physx. The crappy Gigabyte mobo I just ordered isn't working properly, so I am sending it back to Newegg. My rig that replaced my last one will let me play just about anything now, so I am set hopefully. Only game I really see kicking my rear end is BF3.

[razor851]

I play on a two year old laptop I bought for college. I get 5 FPS in Red Alerts. Awesome.

Does anyone want a picture? It has a beer spill on the keyboard as well.

It's okay, I get the same fps with everything on low with the smallest resolution.
