Yes I know I need a new desk, this one really does fucking suck. The clear screen in the side of the case is of no use here... Click the thumbnails for bigger images Another HUGE improvement over my old PC is the noise... this thing is soooooo quiet, it's barely a humming noise. I love it! It runs everything so damn quick it's amazing. Also, I ran 3DMark06 on it today, and my PC scored 9,234 I didn't even have the patience to sit through all the tests on my old PC Any comments?

Red_91 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Nice computer, is very fast and the monitor ain't bad either. Everything else seems fine, though the Playstation Eye Toy is pretty old buyt its still reliabel and good to use. How much did it cost altogether?

Chris Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 I spent over £800 for new parts. The sound card, speakers, monitor, keyboard/mouse and also one of the hard drives were taken from out of my old PC. So that saved me more money. To buy all of it new would have cost over £1000. Also, the EyeToy is damn good quality webcam, beats the hell out of those cheap Logitech ones anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah the webcam is good but I was just trying to say that there is a new one called Playstation Eye out now which is better. But that computer cost a lot, mine only cost £400, its a normal DELL office computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 This is really making me angry since my computer's really shit. If I had that Computer, I'd be already using Dreamweaver CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3 right now. Well, all I can say is it's a nice computer you got their.

chris82 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Very nice computer. Not a fan of wireless mice but the case looks good and you're processor/graphics card are great. The E6600 is the weapon of choice for most people nowadays. I also have 250gb hard drive like you do, but mine filled up pretty quickly, what with all the...things I've downloaded.

Alistair Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Oooo, damn, so similar to my system - your graphics card beats mine (Geforce 7900GTX 512MB) but my E6700 beats your CPU!!!! lol but nice one chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 @TM: lol yes, and FYI Photoshop CS3 fully loads in mere seconds, took like at least 30 seconds to load up on my old PC... @chris82: Yeah that's why I got two of them, they fill up so quickly with 'things' that we download. And yeah the only thing I hate about wireless kb/mice is having to change the batteries, oh and the fact my Desk is more cluttered with the infra red receiver or whatever it is.

Wheelman101 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 lol, funny and btw sweet case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 How is the cooling on that case chris? I know that with alot of high end cases you sacrifice cooling for quietness/ good looks and stuff. I mean, it looks sweet, and you say it's real quiet, so do you ever find it gets real hot in there. Note: I own an antec P180 - Sweeeeeeeeet case, keeps cool, looks good, nice and quiet. Cost a bunch though.... (btw, it's the all - black alu. version, not the silver alu.) And is that lightscribe i see on the DVD writer (or is it exclusive to samsung???) Anywhoo, looking good...
