Not my Turning Point gaming rig
DrkAdonis \| 8:36 PM on 04.06.2008	8 comments

This little baby is what I call "home" for about 6 hours a day. Be it for school, DToid, or gaming... I do so love my first homebrew system.

However... it's time for an upgrade! Having built this 3 years ago, my specs are starting to hit the lower end of things, so a pretty new Turning Point rig would be awesomesauce!

Clockwork

I think you stole that computer off the Starship Enterprise.

Velt

Nice lcd screen, which model is it?

brosef

How much did it cost to build 3 years ago? And where the hell did you get that badass case?

DrkAdonis

The LCD is actually the newest piece, I just got it a few months ago. It's an Acer 22" Widescreen - P221W

The total setup cost me $800 in parts (I had a CRT monitor that didn't need replacing at the time). If you add the cost of the monitor I just got, everything you see in the picture cost me ~$1100.

The case is from [url=www.xoxide.com]Xoxide.com[/url] and was the original "Xion" case, which is no longer available... though they have the newer X-Ion versions now.

DrkAdonis

Bah. Freakin' BBC code not always working.

www.xoxide.com, regardless. ^^

That keyboard is more expensive than my hose.

Matlockery in action!

Brosef -- here is a link to my case!

Matlockery indeed. Thanks mang, now all I have to do is save up some actual cash and upgrade my 4 year old bottom of the line (even then) piece of junk.

Unless of course I win some sort of $4,999 PC...
