good choices. I love my Gigabyte board, very reliable.

What Radeon card did you get?

and what is silent pipe? I haven't been keeping up with computer hardware since I've been poor

Looks good. Does your case have a window? I'll have to snap some shots of my rig (dust it out first haha). I've got a bunch of blue LED fans and a neon tube to give him some bling.

It is an XpertVision Radeon X1950 Pro Super, 512MB GDDR3, DVI, TV-out, PCIe.

and what is silent pipe? I haven't been keeping up with computer hardware since I've been poor

I am poor now

Well, silent pipe is basically just a heat conductor system which conducts the heat away from hot components on the mainboard.

No, since the window would be on the left side, which is facing the wall (see image)

awesome, and great choice in video card.

I have been looking at the x850xt because newegg.com has it for sale for 70 bucks. I hear it competes with the X1650s but I'm not sure how true that is. Yeah I know its old hardware but it would still beat the x700 I got as a budget card to fit my PCIe slot with my new mobo. Either way the 850 is a big step up and would allow me to run AA and AF in my source games. It's a serious consideration.

Also, my computer currently faces the wall like that as well, but now I am thinking of moving it to the floor (since I have started using DAEMON tools to image my CD's, ie no changing disks). Just need to move the sub out of the way.


Looks like you have a great setup.

well, then do something about it

Actually now there is a small box on top of my computer where i store all that messy things like pens, some paper, unopened mail (bills of course ) when not needed.

Thanks! And it works already, everything is installed, I am quite happy. I was hard work to enter all those license keys for all that software which accumulated in my collection

Thanks

As for the sound, while at the computer i often use headphones, but it is also connected to my AV receiver & sound system (via the white cable channel on the left wall, can be seen in the image) in case I need some bass

aww, come on, it actually is dirty! there is a fingerprint in the left front corner, you just cannot see it clearly on this image

And there is some pizza crumbles on the ground, which are just too small to be seen

Heya, wow. This looks good, Alex!
Neat-freak, who you are.
Wow.
I think you'll feel physically ill in my home, should you come round to see me here once, like next year in May or so :shock: It just isn't in my nature to have my surroundings so tidy and clean!
