Any pc gamers?

Thats why i build my own computers.

My current computer wouldve costed over 3k if i bought it from a builder, and i only paid about 1400 because i did it myself.

Same here... it's not even a challenge any more

aye, it's extremely easy to do.

It is pretty easy to do it. But it takes a bit more talent to do nice, clean, high-end rigs. Look at some of the liquid cooled rigs on xtreme system forums...i doubt most would have the patience or skill to do some of em. They are art.

i use to have a liquid cooled pc. Was trying to get away from the dust but you know liquid cooling is alot worse. I'll never do that again. just like a radiator in a car, it needs maintaining. Flushing,cleaning, etc,etc. Went back with air cooling for this rig with 5x 120mm 150cfm fans. Yes its loud, yes i have a jet in my room.


My next project is "cold air" intake. have a heater block with fans on it and coolant.

heres a pic of it before water cooling, i didnt take pics of water cooling when i did it though. http://curs3.net/images/rbcc/rbcc286.jpg

then made a wallpaper to match http://curs3.net/images/wallpapers/new/cursecase.jpg

More often than not, I want to throw my computer out the window and/or bash it over someone's head in a fit of rage when it takes 25 seconds longer to do something that I know it should be able to do in like 5 seconds...

Nice. I'd like to do a gaming mini itx build next. such tiny form factor, yet with some new mitx releases of mobos they are good LAN gaming choices.
I prefer simplicity with my builds anyways, and this would be a greay way of doin a very clean, yet xtreme build.

Probably would cost around 2k
Depends if I liquid cool it...and If i do, im housing all the LC gear in a seperate case

heck yeah do a shuttle. Always wanted to do one but never had an excuse(don't lan anymore).

Not a shuttle. MITX yes, Shuttle no.

DIY rigs ftw ... quake, old school XvT (love the days of dial-up), WoW ... was hardcore about raiding but it's been a few months since raid leading ... prolly only play 2 hours a week, if that, just to log in and say hey to some ppl on the server ... but I did get a PS3 just to play God of War 3 and totally geeking out on that game

anyone else here a BioWare junkie?


ME2 kinda sucked past playthrough 1 but DA:O is amazing, and awakenings is just as good as an xpac

[breathemetal]

ME1 was incredible
ME2 was even better imo
DA:O was superb, havent played Awakenings yet

[erikdunbar]

ME2 was polished and brilliant, but it lacked the soul that me1 had. i probably played through me1 at least 4 or 5 times, maybe more...but im STILL working on my second playthrough of ME2. Honestly i think they just...tried too hard.







...but i cannot wait for swtor.

Playing game is one of my hobby. There are many types of pc games in my collection. I play this games with my friends and in my free time. Due to this I feel relax and refresh. Its one of my favourite hobby.

Buying Used Games as a Matter of Principle

Publishers don't see a dime from second-hand sales, which gives angry gamers a way to play without supporting anti-consumer practices.

yeah, i know what you're talking about for sure. Some friends of mine began playing ST:TOR. Of the shelf is $60. Waaaaaay to much, imo. One friend gave me a week trial.. it was fun.. but not worth $60. That is robbery.
