rimmer; I'd give it 5/10

Exfoliate · 06-08-2006, 04:04 AM

Behold, my embarrasing setup from about a year ago that has changed little since. Aside from a new motherboard, RMA's video card and a new fangled 17" CRT up from my kick ass 15 incher it's the same deal. At least the case is easy to work with and can deflect gun fire if necessary.

On a more positive note the ones I'm seeing here are very cool, I've always liked the rigs that you Pelvis, and Matt555 have got there, very snazzy.

Matt555 · 06-08-2006, 11:11 AM

Hehe thanks, it's a shame that underneath the cool exterior there's a poor excuse for a computer.

Exfoliate · 06-08-2006, 09:42 PM

With a ram upgrade you'd be looking pretty respecatable, I mean you've overclocked your celery within 2 MHz of it's death so I'd say you're doing pretty well.

Matt555 · 06-08-2006, 09:58 PM

Hehe yeah, that overclock's all thanks to my nice cooling, having my case helps too as it's covered in fine (probably 1.5mm or 2mm) holes and they allow lots of air to be drawn in.

I may try and take my Celery up to 3.3GHz (that's be a 700Mhz overclock) but I think I'm pretty much at the stable limit.

I used to be into the whole 'ricer' thing, but now I'd much rather have the sleek Antec P180, man that case is smooooooooth!

rimmer · 08-08-2006, 11:29 PM

hmmmm it looks a bit like a zorro gaming case, i like it 7/10, (im on about Nic's PC BTW)

Merlin · 09-08-2006, 12:30 PM

No special mods, I did buy the side flow fan for my CoolerMaster Stacker.

Its a great case, loads of room to work in and good air flow. The only bad thing I can say about my case is that it has 2 rivets that cut into my DVI connectors (I have my graphics card in my top rear slot).

7/10

Edit: Are those monitors displaying two halves of one picture?

Exfoliate · 10-08-2006, 02:19 AM

I'm liking the dual monitors, sleek window and funky blue lighting. Slick setup mate.

Matt555 · 10-08-2006, 12:32 PM

Dual monitors FTW!

Although mine aren't 2 TFT's there's one CRT and one TFT still I like it

Exfoliate · 11-08-2006, 12:23 AM

Very cool I'd do it except I don't even have 1 good monitor (just an old junker), I take it you disable one for games though right?

Matt555 · 11-08-2006, 12:26 AM

I still have the non-gaming monitor activated, just nothing running on it, with it turned off I don't really see any performance increase in games (plus I only play Enemy Territory

)

Exfoliate · 11-08-2006, 05:25 PM

very cool dude but wouldn't things look a little odd if you played games on both, I mean having a screen that wide might be a bit weird but then again I've never played on dual screen.

Matt555 · 11-08-2006, 05:28 PM

I've not tried actually, I've always had my screen set at 'Dual View' which is essentially 2 separate screens (one you set as primary monitor and games and full screen apps run on that, other apps can be moved across easily)
There's another option called 'Span' which essentially turns both screens into one big one, I may try that.
(Then there's single screen, where one screen just isn't used, clone which is same thing on both screens)

Exfoliate · 12-08-2006, 01:42 AM

Wow, cool stuff, give it a try and report your findings dude
