Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Gateway indeed. Not fond of this chassis at all to be quite honest with you. Top mounted PSU, awful cable routing holes, pointless hot swap bays, and it's also just downright ugly. I'm waiting to get enough money to just buy myself a new case. I'm looking at a 210 right now. 40 bucks is great price for a mid tower chassis that looks amazing as well.

Just rewired a little and removed some fans...otherwise same ol thing
 
love the cable managing and uber high end specs with budget RAM sticks, why not some 1866 sticks with heat-spreaders so it looks nicer
 
1600 is compatible with the cpu's memory controller. already been through the whole overclock memory craze, and after seeing several sets of ddr2 800 die on me and my friends ive decided to stick with specs that are supported by the memory controller, probably will be either some crucial ballistix or tracer...not sure right now, ram is ram no matter how much people want to tell you how it can 'improve' things.

I'm gonna be overhauling my cable management, taking out all the PSU cables and redoing it, along with new SATA power cable extenders. Gonna look real clean. Plus I don't think I've posted my new case yet.
 
i just dont want to run out of spec, after the headaches with that old ddr2 ballistix... i think i had 5 pairs that died over 2 years, i rather not get into that mess again and just go with proven stuff that works.

+1 I for one know how much of a headache RAM problems can be :P
 
Not all budget ram with no heat spreaders are that bad,take the Samsung greens for example 30nm,1600 mhz and people have been getting those to run at 2133MHz (10-10-10-28 1N) @ 1.45v.
I hardly think samsung is a Budget ram, but i agree that it is amazing ram. I am running mine between 2133 and 2400 (same timings on both) without issue and they still (at these speeds) runs cooler than the Patriot 45nm that I did have.
 
many people still using desktop pc. i use a laptop for my gaming.


Thats because no laptop can offer the same performance a desktop can.

Gaming on a 27'' 2560x1440 resolution monitor cannot be compared to a laptop whatsoever. The gaming experience is worlds different and sooo much better.

Not sure if that picture is gonna work.

Got my new case, but not my new motherboard/cpu/ram yet. Soon, very soon...

Custom cable management/sleeving. Who says heat shrink cant look good?

I'm still not too happy with the way the cable management turned out overall, though. The front button wire connectors ended up being routed in a really weird way as well as some top sata connectors and eh. When I get my new mobo it's going to look a lot better.

Your computer is cool. What is power supply you have?
 
Well, the specs are a little saddening. I'll just list what I have now and what I'm going to have.

What I have:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 running at stock speed
Stock mobo
8gb ddr2 stock ram
Radeon 5850
Coolmax ZX-700
500 WD HDD

What I'm planning on upgrading to
FX-6300 (Going to OC)
Asrock 970 Extreme 4
Kingston HyperX 8GB 1866
Keeping the rest.

Just recently bought the case. NZXT source 220 with lots of extra fans. Have to say that I'm really enjoying it. The entire computer was originally a stock gateway computer. It's slowly evolving.
