Well this is my new assembled PC (with my old motherboard, for the reasons known to some). It would have looked much better if my drives had silver plates, but you can't have it all can you?

 

Well Seap I showed you mine, now you show me yours... :D In fact anyone who has a funky PC should post pictures, interesting to get some visuals.

Thanks gevo jan, my PC is my current love interest, the case cost me $53 and it's as light as an empty shoe box.

 

As for your dimension, I hope you forgive me for saying this, but I deeply dislike Dell, starting from their lack of reliability ending with their filthy customer support. :(

Eve! Don't confuse us by biting Azat's azatar (i mean, avatar).... it's now very hard to follow (both) of your posts! :) :lol:

 

BTW I hope you're loving your new machine .... :D

I understand your frustration vavachka, but Azat's suggestion is my command. I suggest you address him with this request. I would advise you to concentrate on the red bow to make a distinction. :P

 

Oh, and thank you, I am highly enjoying my machine! It's a beauty! :D

Very nice Eve ... but fair is fair so here's mine.

 

http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/Sip/misc/pc.jpg

 

Here are the specs:

 

AMD XP3200+ CPU (200Mhz external clock with x11 multiplier ~2.2Ghz)

Asus A7N8X-E motherboard 400Mhz FSB

Corsair XMS 6-2-3-2 DDR RAM running at FULL speed (synced with CPU FSB with actual CA2 timing!) ... with heat sink.

Asus 9600XT (Radon-based) Video card with AGP 8X and 128MB onboard SRAM running at 499 MHz internally and 594 Mhz DDR memory speed

200 GB Western Digital 7200RPM SATA drive (main)

80GB Maxor 7200RPM Drive

300 GB external Firewire Maxtor drive (for backups)

Plextor DVD Rom +/-RW CDR/RW

Audio: Onboard Nvidia nForce with 6 channel digital encoding

Speakers: Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5.1 (with digital decoder)

All speakers independently signaled through digital connection (dolby)

 

I have run it through 30 hours of Microsoft HCL stress tests as well as FutureMark continuous 3DMark and SysMark tests and since I ditched the crappy Kingston RAM for the Corsair XMS, the system has been ROCK solid!!!

 

The video card has a video in and is dual head (DVI and analog) so it is also serving as my television at the moment.

You bastard, you hooked up your front usb!!! And where is your second DVD burner? And where is your clear sliding panel and where is your second fluorescent led fan? And my Plextor is better than yours! In conclusion I win, even if my hard drive is smaller than yours, and I don't mean that with a double connotation, thank you very mucho! Wow so many exclamations.

Ok one step at a time :)

 

Clear cover is under my desk somewhere .... probably never to be used.

No need for second fan as the case is at 80 degrees and hasn't heated up above that

No second DVD burner as I haven't even used this one yet!

Yes I got the front panel to work! Firewire, 2 USBs AND audio ... mic and headphones

 

PLUS ... my motherboard talks when I boot up!!! Of course it was the first feature I disabled as it was very annoying. But still, this is the first motherboard I have ever had that could talk :D

Ok, smarty pants, well mine is 72 degrees and in the summer it will provide me with a very pleasant breeze, while your feet will carry the resemblance of a Russian Sauna! As for right now, I am wearing thick socks so I am staying away from any more breezes.

Damn, that was harsh Seap, did you have to do this?!!! Have you no compassion for others, me in particular, are you not sensitive to my “PC Superiority” complex? I need 2 tashkinaks, one to wipe my tears and the other to wipe my drool. :drool: :drool:

 

It's a freaking BEAST! If I become religious, do you think that God would send me this Beauty?!! $3499.99 - $7999.99, quick I have to call my Russian brothers in the Insurance Business. :D

 

*Intel® Pentium 4 Hyper-Threading @ 3.8GHz*

 

*System bus 950MHz :o

 

*-35C that is more freezing than my freezer.

 

* Power Supply VSF 550W Multi-voltage - That would blow a whole in my floor.

 

Although...

 

* 65 lbs is pretty heavy

Well, let's not get too carried away with our glory ... as always, when you finish putting a PC like this together, you run into something like THIS. B)

Strange how their page SO resembles Apple.com... <_< right down to the nav buttons, merchandise layout & the brushed metal look & feel... Hmph.

 

Oh, and Azat - I have the same model :o

Yes, yes, I have only noticed the red bow now that my hangover is thumping a little less on the inside of my head. :rolleyes:

Oh and for those of you that think I am a complete geek, I can assure you I am one Sexy Beast. Completely not what you would expect a traditional geek to look like, here is a proof, take a look at my picture, just don't start PMing me with love messages all at once. <_<

What is that wireless phone thing that that old man has. You tell me you can walk around the home and talk on the phone without being connected to a wire? Next thing you know they are going to let you walk even outside of the home and be able to talk on the phone...

This is for anyone who can explain/help me

 

 

Why is it in some web sites I get X instead of a picture on an icon, like it’s a window where the picture should be but instead it’s not showing and it’s X in the middle of it for some reason, not all but some. And I do have java installed but this is frustrating. Symantec maybe has something to do with this? This happens to all of my computers, and this started after when I installed firewall and antivirus (Symantec)

 

is there any way around this?

 

Thank you

Most likely the image is being loaded from a site that is not "safe" for the browser and it is different from the site that you are visiting.

 

You can lower the security levels on your firewall and it should work fine. But be aware that by lowering the security level you may be getting other issues that you don't want.
