Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

did not do much. Just turned my fron't fans to blow the same direction (dropped GPU to 41* idle from 50*), turned the HSF the right way round, and redone the cables at the bottom of the board. Not much at all.

I was going through my albums today and came across some of the pc's that I had built in the past. It cool to see what I've used in the past and where I am with builds today. Check it out!

First computer built like 6 years ago: (Q6600, It was first a 880GT, then 9800gtx+ and then a GTX285, 1000W PSU, 780i) You can tell my n0obness because of all the bright colors :D

Then it was the all-black build (Intel 750 i5, P55 w/ gtx285):

Then the Antec Black Widow build (EVGA Classified, i7 950, ATI 5850):

And then some random build i had:

And finally it all brought me to this:

I'll probably be changing the card in the current one soon to crossfire cards. :D

PC's didn't really take off til the 80's.
Early internet was for the military only then later a couple of universities linked themselves together.
The internet as we know it now didn't start until late 80's.

I think personal computers started to take off more in the early 90s. Because in the 80s they were still rather expensive and it was mostly just businesses that had them. At least, thats how it was around here.... I remember we didnt get a PC until 1996 but I remember before that I would go to a friends house just to play Doom on his PC and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world :P
 
Nice PCs and pics there Machin3, here's an evolution of my PC...

December 2010/January 2011 - first build. Also could tell I was n00b because of all the lights. ;)

Literally no cable management at all, I just dumped everything in the case.

Then I replaced the crappy GT 220 with a GTS 450 which was a great card for the money and tidied up the cables a bit and it ended up looking like this:

(That's about October 2011)

Then I did more cable management once I had got myself a new power supply this February:

Shortly afterwards the Foxconn board died, so I picked up a second hand ASUS P7P55D-E on eBay for about £90. This was one of my favourite builds:

Then I decided to upgrade to LGA 1155 in March so I sold the i5 760 and the P7P55D-E and the RAM and the graphics card on eBay and got myself what's in my sig now instead. :)

So there's been about 3 different builds in one PC over the course of about 18 months. :D

Nice man. Looks pretty sweet now. I was thinking about getting the same card you have and CF-ing them. But the build you have now is sweet. We all go through that phase in our first build where we think neon lights are awesome lol. :D

Thanks! :) I'm actually looking at changing my case and power supply in around October time because I've got a friend eyeing my current case and PSU and I'd like something different. I've got my eye on the Fractal Design Define R3 right now, looks like a really nice case (I'd go for the Silver Arrow one) and should fit two 5870s easily I reckon.

I very may well up end up getting another 5870 and CrossFiring it once I've got my new PSU and case. If I do I'll let you know what the performance is like, but a single 5870 is plenty for me right now. :)

Nice that should look pretty sweet when you transfer over everything. I was thinking on that 5870, I kinda wish they had the 4GB version readily available on ebay or something. But I figured that I would sell my WC'd card now and dedicate the WC-ing just for the cpu and overclock the crap out of it on 3 radiators. :D
 
Well when I find my sd card ill get some more, heres my $5 dell gx280 with a 2.8ghz p4 and 1gb ram. And my free laptop, 1gb ram and 1.6ghz celeron. Compaq. I sold both, I really wish I held onto the laptop, I liked it.

I'm very noob when i have a lot of light :(

I'm not saying very no0b or anything like that, its not to offend anyone :/ I just feel like when people start off on their first build, they tend to think lighting with neons and what not is the best thing ever. As time goes by it seems people start to make their rigs look sleek and cut down on the lighting and stuff like that. I know I used to be there at one point when I started my first build so forgive me if I offended you. :o

4GB 5870? Mine's only 1GB and they all are I think apart from the Eyefinity 6 Edition which was 2GB. I haven't seen any 4GB 5870s about?

Looking forward to getting the new case. I know the R3 looks like a box, but it looks sleeker than the NZXT Phantom and it's a lot cheaper too.

It is very true that people usually start off by covering their PCs in lights and LEDs, I did, and my friends did too. I don't really care about LEDs now but I still like to have them. ;)
 
I have never wanted to put LEDs on a case. My very first self assembled one had 1 blue LED fan, but that is what the case came with. Not Like I was looking for LEDs. they are flashy and draw too much attention.
 
I had some LED fans in my first case but when I switched to the 800D I just have a while LED strip around the outside to give off a nice glow. Looks really nice IMHO.
 
Im just going to come out and say it. I think LED's are cool as hell and the only reason i want to get a new case is for MOARRRRRRRRRRR LED's (i dont have any at the moment as my case has no windows or anything like that)
