Get Your Rigs Out For The Lads!

Well, as the title says, I present to you, Shiela:
<img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc173/TheNameIsJambo/RIG.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Firstly, I'm bored at work, secondly, I apologise for the quality of the photo, the (my) iPhone 4 camera is either a complete hit or a miss!

This is an old photo of my entire setup, when I first slapped it together. As you can see, I never even had a mouse-mat! But I had the obligatory Duke Nukem bust. (I have an actual mouse-mat now, rather than an IKEA instruction manual!)

I'll have to try and get some more photos of the setup, when I'm at home.

<b><u>Sheila's Specs:</u></b>
<ul><li><b>Mobo:</b> ASUS P8Z68-V Pro</li><li><b>CPU:</b> Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4GHz - OC: 4.7GHz w/ Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 [Non-Pro]</li><li><b>GPU:</b> ASUS HD 6950 DirectCU II 2048MB - Flashed to HD 6970: Core: 945MHz. Mem: 1375MHz</li><li><b>RAM:</b> Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz</li><li><b>HDD:</b> Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB Internal + Western Digital Elements 1TB 7200 External</li><li><b>PSU:</b> Corsair TX 750W V2</li><li><b>Monitor:</b> IIyama Prolite 22" (LED-Backlit)</li></ul>

When I upgrade to a full-tower, I'll call her Sheila the Onos! (Or something slightly more catchy Olga the Onos?...)

I also heard whispers on the wind that the Onos is about to make its re-birth into NS2. I actually cannot wait!

<b>Get yer rigs oot!</b>

    Nice Rig / pic. Your mouse pad looks very out of place i must say. If it is a mouse pad that is. :)

    As for my rig, it's nothing special. So i won't bother you with it.

    Jup onos is in the next build. If you have enough light activate HDR on your camera and you will get 1 bad and 1 great pic.

    Thanks much! Don't be coy, this is the 'Rigs Out' section :) The mousemat in that photo is actually IKEA instructions for the actual PC desk itself! It actually worked very well, and was stuck down to the desk! :)

    I do have HDR activated, and that's how it turned out anyway :'( - I'm sure that was the 'bright' (Second) photo also!

    Shouldn't it automatically try to merge the into one HDR type photo though, or is that aftermath stuff with these <b>phones</b> with a camera glued on there.

    Looking good, not a fan of Seagate though, but if it doesn't crap out you're probably safe :P

    I believe the iPhone 4 takes 3 photos, then rams them together. HDR photography at its finest.

    Tell me about it, I had an internal IDE Seagate that failed, many moons ago. I lost about 30-40GB~ of FLAC files. It took me a <b>very long</b> time to re-rip all that music....

    What can you do though - Hard drives are hard drives. Some fail, some don't.

    Well, whip it out ;)

    I didn't factor in two monitors into my budget, if I opted for the Core i5, as opposed to the core i7, I probably could of grabbed another monitor!

    I think your screen is the thing which is holding you back now. It's tiny compaired to the power behind your PC. Keep that one, as your second monitor and buy a 24" or way above 1080p Screen. Your eyes & new PC will love you for it.

    Hmm I have a pic of me desktop a few years or so back... Nothing really changed, other then the maximum OC it is now running at... I still use the same desktop image even...

    *goes of to try and find it*

    I actually have three monitors, but one has died...

    @Seagate (and Maxtor) stuffs. I hate them both as I've seen those brands die way more. Actually I've never seen other brands die, Samsung, Western Digital... My two 120Gb Maxtor drivers seem to be the exception, not showing any signs of age what with them being from 2001...

    Those two WD 36Gb? They server their purpose as OS/Program folder disks mostly


    Besides HDD's are bloody expensive due to lack of Dutch quality water defenses in Taiwan :P

    Heh, I've tried that with a beamer once in Action Half-Life(not as widescreen though). Judging from that, the guy really needs to be backed off the screen by about 2 more meters. Currently he is way to close to the screen, his peripheral vision is not on the side screens, but are actually overlapping the middle screen somewhat. A spot where don't want to move your head to see things on your hud :D


    It's a bloody awesome thing to behold in any case, too bad they didn't get hold of a NS2 copy :P
