[serenekaosTR]

Model: Mine
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.5GHz 3.9GHz OC'd 4.6GHz
Motherboard: Maximus V Gene LGA 1155 Z77 mATX Intel Motherboard
Memory: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1866 (PC3-15000) CL9 Quad Channel
Hard Drive 1: 120GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD (OS)
Hard Drive 2: 512GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD (Games)
Hard Drive 3: 2TB Hitachi 7200 rpm (Data)
Hard Drive 4: 1TB Hitachi 7200 rpm eSata (Data)
Hard Drive 5: 1TB Hitachi 7200 rpm USB 3.0 (Data)
Video Cards: 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 SLI
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE 24" 144Hz 1ms (GTG) LED Backlight LCD 3D Monitor
Power Supply: Silverstone 1200w
Speakers: Logitech 5.1 + LFE
Headset: Cheap a$$ Creative Fatal1ty's
Keyboard: Saitek Cyborg
Mouse: Logitech G9x Laser
Mouse Surface: iCEMAT 2nd Edition BLACK Mouse Pad (glass)
Case: Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Water Cooling:
Swiftech MCR Drive 320 w/MCP35X pump
Danger Den Acrylic/Copper CPU block
2x Danger Den Copper GTX 480 blocks
All tubing is 5/8" OD x 3/8" ID (Single Loop)

Have to be careful of the overclocking because I honestly need more radiator and possibly a second pump for this setup. But I'm holding out for the GTX 800 series so I can replace my sli'd GTX 480's with a single GTX 880 and see a decent improvement. Then my water cooling setup will be more than enough to handle some good OC'ing.

Bought these on the 4th, so this is going to be my new rig.

CPU: Intel i5-3570K (3.4 GHz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

GPU: MSI GTX 670 Power Edition. I'm really excited about this. Not only is it a beast at OCing, due to MSI being boss, but it's also factory overclocked, and I get Metro: LL and 3DMark for free.
Memory: 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz
SSD: Samsung 840 Series 120GB
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
PSU: Rosewill HIVE 650W 80+ Bronze

[Shovel Monkey]

My Ancient Monolith

Case: Coolermaster HAF912

OS: 2+ year old install of Win 7 Professional (I really should do a new install and clean out all the old crap)

Power Supply: Corsair AX1200

Motherboard: MSI K9A2 Platinum v. 1

CPU: AMD Phenom II 955 BE, running at stock speed (Air cooled). Yes, I specifically got this processor because it's the same "displacement" as my bike.

Motorcycle: Triumph Daytona 955i, running at slower than stock speed, geared down for city driving with 149HP and 73.8 pound feet torque.

System RAM: 8GB Kingston DDR2 800

Video Cards: Two ATI Radeon HD4890 in crossfire with Arctic Cooling heatsink/fans which are MUCH quieter than stock cooling solutions. I am sold on their products and will purchase their cooling solutions for all future video and CPU cooling needs in the future.

Data storage: 60 GB Corsair SSD boot drive, two 1tb Western Digital Green drives in RAID 0, old 70gb Hitachi and 72gb Western Digital Raptor drives in external enclosures for moving files around when visiting friends or whatever.

Cooling: One 140mm fan and four 120mm fans Cougar brand. (Very quiet, and set to turn at slowest speed to reduce noise. One 200mm Coolermaster fan (which I will be disconnecting as soon as I get off my lazy butt and crack open the case)

Keyboard and Mouse: Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 v.1, Intellimouse Optical v1.1a (I bought several of these mice, they seem to last about 10 years or so, I think I'm set.

Monitors: PLANAR PXL2760MW (1920x1080), Planar PL1700M (1280x1024)

Audio: Microphone MXL ProCon Series 1 AC-404 USB, Headphones Sennheiser HD555 (Soon to be replaced by AKG-702 and Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD USB Audio System with THX SB1240 which I expect to be connecting via Optical S/PDIF through an older Soundblaster Audigy2ZS providing better sound quality than the motherboard's onboard audio chipset).

Printers: 8 1/2" x 11" B&W laser, 8 1/2" x 11"color scanner/inkjet. I May pick up a 3d printer when I finish my schooling to become a machinist for prototyping parts.

My Setup

Hey guys and gals it's Anupman here just going to show you my setup.

So I took some pictures of my Desktop / "Gaming Zone". I play on a 50 inch T.V in the living room with "Athena" which is my computers name. I thought it fit since Athena is a goddess of intelligence, skill, warfare, battle strategy, handicrafts, and wisdom.

Here are Athena's specs. (Yes she is an Alienware product, don't hate please)


Tower
- Alienware Aurora with ALX Chassis

Operating System
- Running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Processor
- Intel? Core™ i7-3960X processor(Six Core Extreme, 15MB Cache, Overclocked up to 4.2Ghz).

RAM
- 16GB Quad Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz.

GPU
- 4GB GDDR5 NVIDIA? GeForce? GTX 690 (Needs An Upgrade Soon).

Hard Drive
- 1TB 7200RPM Storage.

Sound Card
- Creative Sound Blaster? Recon3D PCIe Audio Sound Card.

Optical Drive
- Single Drive: 8X Dual Layer Blu-ray Burner (BD-RE, DVD?RW, CD-RW).

Keyboard & Mouse
- Alienware TactX™ Keyboard & Alienware TactX™ Mouse.

Headset
- Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset


So first of all here is my Desktop (Click to enlarge to see what I have on it)

Here are some shots of my "Gaming Zone" and you can see my puppy in one of them he's 9 months old atm. If you look closely you can see Gandalf beside Athena. I can choose from a variety of different colours for the glowing effect. It can sync with music and Pulse, Morph, or just stay a solid color with the AlienFX editor. Oh and when I play battlefield it change color depending on what my health is at, it starts blinking RED when my health is really low. It's pretty neat.

Here are some internal shots of Athena, I only have one Hard Drive for now but I can have 4 there as you can see the extra slots at the bottom, and yes I put Gandalf on there because I wanted to lol.
