Not My Turning Point Gaming Rig
l0cke | 1:26 AM on 03.23.2008 3 comments



Here is where my rig lives at times. You can see the cat thingy, ghetto chair, genesis game box, and a really messy desk.


Check out this case mod though! I got a 5" LCD right in my PC! Of course, it is crooked and not on 90% of the time.


This 17" LCD monitor only cost me $80! Max resoultion of 1280x1204. Also thought I shoudl point out that right now I have 32 tabs open in firefox.


But this mouse pad makes up for it. It's an old spiral notebook which I right things down in that I need to remember while I am on the PC. Notice the giant sweat stains from Counter-Strike. Mouse is MX518.


Here is my keyboard. Microsoft Natural 4000. The pimpest keyboard I have ever used. However, mine is old and full of cat hair.


Skullcandy GI headphones. When I got these I thought they were indestructible. I was wrong it turned out.


Two DVD burners! However, because of the Nforce4 chipset, only one works for burning! Take note of the card reader and cold cathode light switch. Also the mess of wires.


Check out these insides! Through the scratched up window you can see:

MSI K8N Neo4/SLI
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (Arctic freezer 64)
Nvidia Geforce 6800gs (another arctic freezer on this one)
Corsair Value RAM 2GB
480w coolermaster PSU
120gb SATA HDD

I like to keep things clean though, so not much dust. The CPU is overclocked to 2.45 ghz (I could probably go further but I got distracted in the middle of OC'ing and just left it there).


CPU-Z of course.

 about me

Besides pwning n00bs, in my spare time I like to chew bubble gum and think about the best way to cook hot pockets and ramen noodles in the same microwave, at the same time.
