Not my turning point gaming Rig: Do Not Want
iDano84 | 1:34 AM on 03.08.2008 9 comments


Greetings out there once again Dtoid Nation..

Hope all is well and you are having fun with the ‘gamez’. I wanna start out by saying sorry that my Game Development series has been put on hold, I went a while without a PC when my ole faithful finally became not so faithful anymore. However, I’m back in action with a brand new rig, and I am actually working on something pretty epic that a lot of you will enjoy.

On to the point, time to show off my rig:




I know, cable management is needed



Specs:
Antec 900 Gaming Case
Asus Maximus Formula (x38) Motherboard
2x2GB A-Data DDR2 – 800 Ram
Intel Q6600 Quad Core 2.4Ghz
EVGA nVidia 8800GTS (G92) 512mb
SataII 250Gb HD

Now, I’m sure most of you regulars here on D-toid are saying ‘You douche, this contest isn’t for you!!!!11!!11!111!!’. You are correct, it isn’t. The most intensive game I play on the PC is WOW, and I was hoping the 8800 would handle some 3d modeling, unfortunatly it doesn’t do very well. Anyway, chances are, this computer really isn’t for you either. I do have an alternative solution if I were for some reason to be selected however.

Destructoid.com and it’s staff has became very well known over the past few years. I’m a substitute teacher in a small town HighSchool in Kentucky, and I have heard before students mentioning Destructoid.com to their friends (cashwhore and Friday Night Fights specifically. Thank god Ive never ran into a student in a game.. Why not have the Dtoid staff Autograph this rig and Auction it off on Ebay, then donate the proceeds to Child’s Play. I’m sure someone out there somewhere would see a one-of-a-kind Turning Point Gaming PC signed by the Dtoid staff as priceless.

Anyway, that’s my thoughts on it. Having a rig like I do, my selection chance is slim to none. However, if Niero and the gang for some chance get soo drunk they just do an ‘Any, Many, Miny, Moe’ who knows. Hope you all are having an awesome weekend. Looks as if I will be snowed in for the next 24-48 hours, awesome! I will probably spend a lot of time on COD4 or maybe TF2 if I’m not sucked into the World of Warcraft for some (finally) lvl 70 Greatness.

As always, have a great day..

And Happy Gaming!

It's supposed to be a random draw. Also Niero*

x38 is nice. Good OC. Just not needed with a Q6600.

You use the case that I wish I had! I'm using an Apevia X-Please right now, how much cooling do you think I'd get from the 900? Are the fans effective?

The cse is ok, it's cramped for cable management as you can see. Overall cooling is nice, if cable management were better (my psu has very long cables) i could probably take off another 5c from some of the restricted airflow. I have all fans set on medium at all times and I'm getting case temps around 20c. CPU temps around 35 at Idle. CPU fan rarely spins up to full throttle and I've never hit temps higher than 55c under load. GPU is putting off more heat than the CPU.

I'm satisfied, I wish I hadn't have needed a PC ASAP and I would have bought the 3870x2 instead of the 8800gts. I will probably end up doing the step up program later on.
