caspar347 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 -Some crappy generic Acer motherboard -A generic Gateway case -i5-2400 @3.1GHz with the cooler it came with -An MSI Nvidia GTX670 2GB -8GB (2x4) DDR3 1333MHz -A 1TB 7200rpm Western Digital HDD -A 750watt PSU (overkill I know, I bought it for use with later machines) -Some crappy 23" 1080p monitor I don't have it with me now, as I'm on vacation. I'll update this post with more info when I get home in a week. I definitely need a better case, motherboard, and cooling system. I'll probably end up getting some new parts with holiday gift money. But it does what I need it to do. It maxes out Minecraft. (lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansltx Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I now have two relatively respectable rigs. My main machine is at my place, and an alternate ($600) one is at my parents'. Why multiple desktops? Because it's hard to run one 27" 2560x1440 monitor and two 1080p ones (the brand of the 27" varies, but the smaller ones are always Asus) off a laptop. Anyway... Primary: 2011 iMac 27" Intel Core i7 2600 (not K) 3.4GHz (quad-core) 32GB RAM 256GB Apple SSD (unknown brand) + 2TB Hitachi 7200RPM HDD Radeon 6970M with 2GB VRAM Secondary: iBuyPower NE641FX AMD FX-8320 CPU @ 3.5GHz (8-core) 8GB RAM 1TB WD Blue HDD MSI + nVidia GTX 650 with 1GB VRAM Laptop: mid-2009 MacBook (one of a few laptops, but this one's the most powerful; the others are a Chromebook and an Atom-based convertible tablet) Core 2 Duo 2.13GHz (P7450) 8GB RAM (DDR2-667, moved from a slightly older, otherwise identical machine) Crucial m4 256GB SSD nVidia 9400 All of the above machines dual-boot. The laptop is Win7 + Mac OS. The iMac is Win8 + Mac OS. The iBuyPower is Win8 + Ubuntu 13.10. Nothing extravagant, other than the iMac (which I bought used and upgraded the RAM myself). But all quite functional for what I do, though gaming power varies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
