<---jealous
i'm in desperate need of a ground up setup here
broke college kid, and the money i do have saved needs to go towards tbelt and gaskets, and possibly new wheels

damn my expensive hobbies!

 

Not gonna lie, I have a 360 and play that ever so often, but I never got into the whole gaming thing as hardcore as it seems you guys have. I like the outdoors to much to lock myself in front of a computer screen all day.

 

I think Spiel has a quad video set up on that bad boy.

I used to play Counter Strike when it first came out (way before Steam), until people started using hacks. Then played Day of Defeat, then Battlefield, Counter Strike Source. I was mostly a first-person-shooter game person. I built this gaming pc just over 5 years ago and it still runs all the new games I install to it at a descent fps. Right now, WoW is taking over my life....must...........level........

 

pretty much same here...late comer here though, half life 2, Battlefield 2, and team fortress 2 are the favorite fps's i have on here

and yea, cant forget the world of warcrack :P

 

People still use AIMBOTS,WALLHACKS but the steam servers detect them and if you get detected on +3 servers YOURE BANNED

Trust me...I know

i got all this and since june i think i logged a toal of like 12 hours of gaming... ive been busy school 9-3 work 4-10 every day except weekends, i only have work on weekends, and some days after work i go to car shows where everybody wants to drive my car...

 

hey we have a very similar setup. mine's all in a full tower with a 2x250mm fans and a 120mm. all i hear is my ******* HD going nuts while the fans are on full speed and dead quiet lol. and i still manage to keep the core temps under 50C with the comp in a deep corner and surround by crap. o if you every play TF2, let me know or something and we can set up a time. i usually play on 66.151.138.60:27015 that server with alias a donkey. BTW is your cpu G0 stepping?

 

HaXoR!

 

of course its a G0... and yea i got TF2, just add me on steam probly easier that way.. and you'll never guess my steam name... yep jc61990

i got one that is undetectable i think, or people just dont report me, if i ever use it i put speed hax on and run around really fast backwards, its pretty funny

 

can't remember what i have in my PC anymore, not so hot anymore. built it about 3 years ago, cost me about $1300 at the time. It's nice, just outdated.. like it takes more than 2 months for that to happen....

used to game, not any more. too addicting, i'd go straight home from work and sit there until way later than i should be awake, and do the same the next day, and so on.
