Computer Setup Pictures

[rl9009]

Hopefully I can top that with my next year's dorm setup

I wouldn't even try to have something like that. To me (since I wont use it) will be a waste of time, money, and effort

I do stuff for work on that monstrosity as well as home stuff, so its not so bad. If I didn't use it, I'd get rid of it. It definitely costs too much to run from home. $600+ a month for power alone, not counting bandwidth. Hopefully I'll be upgrading the SAN soon to a Eurologic SanBlock2. Or one of the new Infotrends (if i can waffle it from work. they throw so much good stuff out).

I hope you dont pay that bill

And I hope you scale a few servers down to an Intel Atom (Those things can run VMware well enough for production use as a Domain Controller!)

A close friend of mine, curriegrad2004 (he never bothered to give me his real name either, but calls himself currie...) built a Server based on the Intel Atom to handle NAS storage and etc, and as far as I know, it works perfectly for him!

Well, here's his forum post on reporting that Win2K3 works perfectly on the Intel Atom here:

I take whatever I can get. Usually 2-3 year old units from work. I'm hoping to replace some of the bigger stuff with 1u units and maybe consolidate some of the storage. A buddy of mine has a cage in dorsai data center in New York for his consulting business, I'm hoping he'll let me throw some of my stuff in there...

Saw the whole thread.

Harvy, Naru, Jarudin, Lurch, houkouonchi, DigitalSteel, redemtionboy ... you guys have the best PC set ups. I had the courage to clean my room and organize it, I tossed alot of shit away and put my PS1/2 games away as well (got so many PS3 games). I need to get me a very good camera so I can take HQ pictures, at the very least. My problem is my speaker set up, but its all good.

aghstnashell -- I have the same case as you do, the same exact one.

My question to Houko and DigitalSteel is, the way you guys are facing your CPU fans is directed towards your RAMs, I have mine facing down on my Video Card (fan facing that way). I don't totally understand ... I have my PSU sucking the air (if thats what it does). Did I do my set up wrong? ... I'm a noob at this. I had this set up for more than a year. I really need to get a camera ..

Edit -- My other question is to Jarudin, I really like the left monitor that you have there, thats where you have you uTorrent (probably) running off on? What type of monitor is that? The one I have is Acer in which alot of them don't allow you to set up your monitor upwards.

Well, i finally got my camera working

And here are pics of my setup
Full setup (i know its blurry, i took it with my cellphone)


Here is the IBM computer (P3 1ghz, 512Mb PC133, up to 128Mb video {shared}, hard drive currently removed)


The Compaq Evo (P4 2ghz, 512Mb DDR PC2700, 64Mb video, 80Gb hard drive with 40 external)


and my lappie (Pentium M 2ghz, 2Gb DDR2 PC4200, 128Mb dedicated video, 160gb internal with 250 external (the hard drive off to the right is it)


The Compaq is my media machine, the IBM used to be my seederbox until the power bill showed up, and i was forced to take it out of action The laptop is my general use machine, and the most powerful of the three ( )

By the way anyone want some spare P4 processors?  LOL

[NaRu]

you need to clean your station

[captiosus]

lol no shit

Right now im sort of in the process of building it, which if all things go to plan, shouldnt take me more than a few weeks

[Tatsujin]

oh yea man, mine was a bigger mess than his. if you think his is anywhere near my computer and the shit thats around it from like two years ago ... you ain't seeing nothing. but i moved to another apartment, got me the same room size (with bigger closet) and i tossed a whole bunch of shit out and replaced many things. i just kept purchasing till i finally organized my room ... i wasted a whole bunch of money, but i'm glad i did. it was all worth it.

[NaRu]

Here is my new setup since I moved

[Arveene]

I'm using that same background for my desktop! Once I figure out exactly where I want my new case at, I'll take some pictures.

[Tatsujin]

Hey! That's the picture I posted a while ago. I like it too.

[moonlight]

Wow, there are some really neat desktops in this topic. Amazing!

Anyway, here is my "desktop"... Currently staying in a guesthouse (Tokyo), so the picture is pretty much my whole room. A little messy, but I'm never home anyway

[captiosus]

Thats ALOT of P4 cores....... got any hyperthreaders in that? LOL

works for what
I need

NaRu the 2nd pic below the first one nearly made me think it was some kind of humidifier machine with those fans and the front design of the case o.o

Here is my new setup since I moved

(click to show/hide)

What are the specs on that beast?

[NaRu]

Here is my new setup since I moved

(click to show/hide)

What are the specs on that beast?

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz (OC to 4Ghz)
RAM: 12 Gigs triple channel DDR3 1800
GPU: 2x Nvidia 285 overclocked Geforce (SLI)
PSU 750 watts PC power & cooling
HDD: Total space is 3TBs

[Arveene]

Wow, that's nearly the same exact I'm running on. Just not running with 2x 285s in SLI, only 1.

[captiosus]

............... Im jealous now.

I have killed 2 computers and built a third, so now its
Laptop:
2Ghz Pentium M
2Gb Dual Channel DDR2 533
160Gb ATA/6 laptop drive (can still outpace 80% of all machines in boot time)
128Mb Intel Integrated Graphics (Shared)

Desktop:
2.08Ghz Athlon XP 2800+ (not overclocked)
768Mb DDR 333 (Not overclocked)
ATI Radeon 7200 64Mb dedicated (not overclocked; core speed @ 155Mhz)
140Gb Total hard drive space (2x20Gb, 3x40Gb)

[Arveene]

Here's my new desktop.

Note: I took off the side because the window has pretty big fan on it as well and makes the picture even more blurry than these ones. (I suck at taking pictures.)







Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz - Not OCing yet, will soon most likely.
Memory: 12 GB triple channel DDR3 1066 (If my CPU was OC'ed it'd be able to go up to 1600 without messing with voltages and such)
Gfx Card: EVGA GeForce 1 GB 285 OC Edition
Power Supply: Thermaltake 850w modular
Hard Drives: 1x WD 150 GB VelociRaptor, 4x WD 750 GB Caviar Black in Raid 10.

To the left of where this desktop is setup is my old Dell XPS. Behind me is a spare 19" LCD, a couple of dead video cards, and a really really old desktop that still runs after at least 12 years. Laptop is.. somewhere..

Edit: I would like to note the position of NaRu's CD (or DVD) drive. My friend was laughing that mine was positioned as low as possible in my case. I couldn't get the SATA power cables to reach the DVD drive and all of the hard drives. Did you have the same issue or did you just have it there for a different reason?
