I think car makers can learn a thing or two from CPU makers

Hiya, I just wanted to know about other's crazy PC builds and I feel that most of the people here probably do have their own built PCs, feel free to show pictures. My specs: Intel Q6600 OC'd to 3.2GHz (windows wouldnt work with 3.6ghz D:) EVGA 8800GT 512MB Tuniq Tower 2x1GB Dual Channel Crucial Ram (with leds) some old IDE hdd 160 gb (upgrading soon ) and a GA-P35-DS3L which I BELIEVE is rev2.0 oh the case is also some raidmax dirk-tooth case that I found on newegg.com Hanns G 14" LCD http://img14.imageshack.us/i/0624092142a.jpg/ - had a LCD tv right by my PC for a bit and played x360 on it (i now placed the tv in my room) http://img7.imageshack.us/i/0804091704c.jpg/ http://img168.imageshack.us/i/0804091704b.jpg/ http://img518.imageshack.us/i/0804091704d.jpg/ welp guess i have to repost also tinkerbell your memory is clocked at MHz, not GHz ;) i wish ram was clocked at gigahertz though

Oh yes, two of my friends also run both a 9500GT and a 9600GT (which you can find on the cheapo), and they do a perfect job of running source, dunno about anything else.

Don't bother buying a 9800GT that is just plain stupid, get the 260 GTS at least. If you're on a budget just get a damn 8800GT, because the 9 series is just a buffed up 8 series that is barely buffed up (i run a 8800gt, works perfectly fine on gta4, and all source) As for a processor, I run a OC'd Q6600 at 3.2GHz (its awesome), but if you're only playing source save some $$$ and buy a core 2 duo instead of a quad, quads are a waste of cash unless you're compiling shit or hosting a server :/
