To Join SBCC - southpaw63119
« on: July 16, 2010, 12:28:22 PM »
I hope I understand correctly that all I need to do is post the specs of my computer as well as some pictures.
So...here it goes.

I don't have any pictures right now, I plan to get them later tonight.

These are the hardware specs (off the top of my head):
Biostar A785GE (AM2+) mobo w/ built in video, sound, etc.
AMD Athlon II X2 250  (3.0 GHz) processor
1 stick of 1 GB Corsair DDR2-800
1 stick of 1 GB DDR2-800 of another brand...I can't remember the brand name offhand
1 Seagate Barracuda 250GB IDE HDD
1 Seagate Barracuda 1TB Sata 3.0 Gb/s HDD
1 Lightscribe DVD/DVDRW drive (can't remember exact brand)
500W Eagle Technologies Power Supply
Stock CPU cooling fan (planning on purchasing Hyper 212 Plus, though...Locally only $20 at micro center)
Antec 900 Case
A really old used/reused wireless card...Linksys I believe (it works well enough--it's not like my connection is anywhere near it's max capacity)
Monitor: HP 2010i (20" Widescreen -- currently VGA, DVI compatible)

OS: Windows XP Pro SP3

This is currently a secondary PC for me...as I currently have a better laptop.
I was mostly building this as kind of a base for later improvements, so the Hyper 212 Plus is going to be overkill, but it's all looking toward the future for this PC.

NOTE: I will probably NOT take any pictures of the inside of the pc except through the viewing panel on the side...
I AM quite lazy... ;)
This is why we can't have nice things.

Looks good and look forward to any pics. Although you may not think so I thought you did a great job at recalling your system specs. I've got you added to the SBCC.

The attached pictures aren't that great, but that's because my camera isn't very good and the lighting where my pc is hooked up is awful.
Plus, a photographer I am not...
