Re: Post your system.......

Alright,I ended up scrapping the Chaintech board.

Here's specs now:

Asrock P4i45D+ (don't worry about caps,it uses Rubycon ZL caps)
384MB RAM (yet I get 3 beeps,I'll replace the sticks though)
Intel Celeron D 330 2.66GHz (socket 478)
ATI Radeon 7000 32MB
TSSTCorp SH-S182D DVD-ROM
DeluX 400w PSU
Delux MT375 case
Seagate ST310211A HDD

At this moment,because of the RAM I don't have any system installed.I mounted a Xbox to USB adapter in the case by the way,because after I get it running I will play MUGEN.

Re: Post your system.......

My current main system:
Dell Inspiron 600m laptop (I keep going back to this one...)
Pentium M 2.0GHz
2.0GB RAM
60GB Hitachi 7200rpm HDD
14" matte LCD screen @ 1024x768
19" IBM Thinkvision L200p @ 1600x1280 (primary monitor)
Windoze Vista (ugh...)

Current plans:
- Get something more substantial
- Failing that, find a way to adapt a faster desktop HDD to the system (using an external psu... I've a Maxtor DM Plus 9 120GB with awesomely loud seek that would be streets ahead of the drive in this system)

DOS Box #1:
Intel Pentium MMX @ 200MHz
Tyan Trinity Socket 7 motherboard with VIA MVP3 chipset and 2MB L2 cache
384MB PC133 SDRAM (running at PC66)
3dfx Banshee 16MB AGP (gotta have that furious 128-bit VGA/VESA core!)
VIA Tremor PCI sound card (for recording, I needed something with 96kHz record)
Creative CT2230 Sound Blaster 16 sound card /w CT1747 OPL3
Windows 98 SE
10GB Fujitsu HDD
Intel 100BaseTX PCI NIC

This one is used for recording OPL3 music. Took me a while to figure out how to get both PCI and ISA sound cards working happily under Win98 but I did it. Looking to get a faster Socket 7 CPU though, since the MMX 200MHz can just barely keep up at 96kHz recording rate. The CT1747 integrated OPL3 chip is beyond compare: it has the fast, sharp envelopes of YMF289 but with a full 49.7kHz output rate, so it is very clean sounding with strong bass.

Caps used: Rubycon MBZ (yuck, these were from a recap I did a long time ago), Panasonic, Sanyo (IIRC)

DOS Box #2:
Intel 486DX/2 50MHz (actually a 66MHz chip, but it's run on a 25MHz bus so...)
Alaris Cougar motherboard with 512KB L2 cache installed
16MB RAM
Diamond Stealth 24 VLB Video (S3 805... anybody remember those?) with 1MB
Creative CT1770 Sound Blaster 16 SCSI with YMF262 OPL3 and 8x Apple SCSI CD-ROM drive (broken tray cover but the drive still works... who cares, just don't look into it while it is reading)
Conner CFA-540A 540MB and Western Digital AC2700 680MB IDE Hard Drives (both make a very appealing racket when they are busy)
Windows 95 Pre-OSR1 (glitchy sure, but lightning FAST)
Intel Pro 10BaseT ISA NIC

This is my personal favorite DOS computer. It actually has a very cool IBM 486BL/4 onboard but I discovered that an Intel 486DX/2's FPU was much better at what I was trying to do, so I (with some reluctance) switched over to that. This machine plays the games that run too fast on the 'main' DOS rig, plus it has a very nice SB16 SCSI sound card.

Caps used: Sanyo OS-CON (original), huge nichicon VX axials and various Panasonic and Chemi-Con KY's on CT1770 sound card (the VXs give it a very deep throat!)

Re: Post your system.......

I have about 20 systems around stored in closets and such but might as well list the most commonly used ones.

Main desktop. Only things I bought for it were a Arctic Freezer 7 Pro, memory card reader and the Dell monitor. Only about $30 of stuff into it.
2.4 GHz Core 2 Quad Q6600
6 GB DDR2 mix-n-match ram
500 GB WD Blue hard drive
Radeon HD 4850 reference card
Asus P5N32E-SLI motherboard
20" Acer 1680x1050 dumpster find monitor as primary
19" Dell 1440x900 secondary
Windows 7 Home Premium.

Laptop. Got it for $220 but with 2 gigs of ram instead of 6. Couldn't find anything faster for the price.
Thinkpad T410
2.4 GHz Core i5 520M
6 GB DDR3
160 GB hard drive. Planning on replacing it with either a 1 TB drive or a 256 gig SSD in the future. I have about 70 gigs of programs and 30 gigs of pictures, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign files for school so not much space left.
nVidia Quadro NVS3100M
1440x900 display
Windows 7 Home Premium.

IRC Server. Not very well spec'd but it uses about 30 megs of ram average since it only runs UnrealIRCd.
Some Sony VAIO
1 GHz AMD Athlon 4 (yes, 4.).
128 MB ram
10 GB hard drive
ATI Rage M1
1024x768 display
Debian 7.

Re: Post your system.......

AMD rig:

ASUS M2V-TVM-GB (Olidata OEM)
1GB DDR2-667 RAM (960MB usable)
AMD Sempron 3400+ 1.80GHz (AM2 socket)
1TB Samsung HD103SI HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate
S3G Chrome9 HC IGP,64MB shared video (from the RAM)

Intel rig:
ASUS P4P800-VM (one sticker reads "P4P800-VM/GB/TSYS/SI",but that's not true at all,as it's a normal P4P800-VM)
896MB RAM DDR400 (aiming at getting 1GB RAM on it)
2.4GHz Intel Celeron D 320 (Prescott core)
10GB HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate (trimmed down to fit)
ATI Radeon 7000 video card (yet I'll try replacing it with either another ATI card with composite or a nVidia with composite,as the 32MB it has is just not enough for Aero)

Good seeing these kinds of builds! PC gaming is pretty much extinct these days, devastated by the consoles.

Not really, I know many who still do (and make fun of my personal workstation builds), thanks to Steam (love them or hate them). They're also morons when it comes to good hardware build quality (the only reason a couple have decent PSU's is that I traded/sold them to them).

Compared to what it used to be, PC gaming is dead. There was a time when any friday or saturday night in any town, you could find a local LAN or two, or three......public and private. Try that today.

And the Asus ROG motherboards often use FP CAP polymer caps.

I expect the new builds to be more consistently reliable than early 2000s motherboards.

Don't need to... due to faster interenet speeds, there isn't as much of a need to horse your rig around for a wired LAN/wifi connection... High speed internet killed the LAN party but not the PC gaming platform (which is far from dead).

I have to agree with you here. I build far less of these high end gaming systems now than I did 5 years ago and sell more systems now than I did then. Most of the time the customer says something like "No I don't need a high end gaming PC because I have a Xbox, Playstation or WII I just need something for light gaming and internet / office use."

Re: Post your system.......

Some changes on my old Intel rig made me to write it again:

ASUS P4P800-VM w/ Supermicro P4SPA+ BIOS
1GB RAM
80GB SATA WDC Caviar SE
400W DeluX PSU
Intel Celeron D 2.66GHz 330 (socket 478)
no case
ATI Radeon 7000 32MB
Windows 7 x86

Another upgrade I might do to it is change Windows 7 to either a older version of Windows 8,before they removed the Start Menu,or either Windows Server 2008.(the Vista based version,R2 is based on Windows 7 x64)
