2GB Corsair XMS DDR2-675
eVGA GeForce 7950GT 512MB KO

Samsung WriteMaster DVD Drive
Western Digital SATA 3gb/s 250GB HDD
LG 17" 8ms LCD
Windows XP Media Center
Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
Ideazon Zboard gaming keyboard

I'll post a pic when I can get one.

What's yours?

(PS - This is not for bragging rights. I was just wondering what other use)

I have two gaming rigs at the moment, so I'll list both. One of them I use myself (also listed under "My System"), and the other I have leant to my dad, who doesn't have his own games computer.

My rig:

AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+ Socket AM2
Asus CROSSHAIR
Corsair 2GB (2x 1GB) DDR2-800
2x Albatron 7800GTX in SLI
4x Seagate 250GB SATA
LiteOn DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo
LiteOn DVD-RW 16x +/- Dual Layer
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Silverstone Zeus 850W
Thermaltake 'Armor' Black Full Tower
BenQ 17" 8ms LCD
Generic Keyboard
Microsoft Mouse
Windows XP Pro SP2

Second rig:

AMD Athlon64 3200+ Socket 754
Albatron K8NF4X
GeIL 1GB DDR-400
Albatron 6800GS

I always use AMD, NVIDIA and Seagate in my own computers.

**Cellus** · 11-27-2006, 08:23 AM

Amazing - you have such a nice gaming rig yet you use a generic keyboard and mouse? Sacrilege! Get a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard and a G5 Laser Mouse.

My (pitiful) gaming rig is listed in My System specs below my avatar. That is what happens when you go on a console shopping spree... and lose.

Dont know how, my 6800XT could run it on 800x600 with no lag at all.

Laurie52 · 01-19-2008, 02:38 AM

Dell Inspiron 530
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2 ghz
WinXP Home
I Gig Dual Channel DDR2
512 MB Nvidia 8300GS
320GB Serial ATA HD
Dell 19 in 1 Media Card Reader
16xDVD+/-RW Dr.

20" HP CRT Monitor

Not necessarily a "gaming rig", as I got this primarily for the business after my old HP crashed. But at least I can do more than "occasional gaming" and any new games this rig is perfectly capable of running without any problems.

At least I can swap out the Nvidia 8300GS for a better "gaming card" later. Add another gig of RAM too, if needed.
