Already posted pics of the PC a while back when I built it but here they are again.

Your PC looks so much tidier than mine mate. My machine has a pile of wires to give Medusa a run for her money.

mine kinda looks like that now. Recently upgraded from the 8600gt to 9600gt gpu and it's like twice the size. I didn't get a chance to tidy up the wires this time - I plan to do it in the future but it looks like a mess right now since I had to curve everything around.

I'd rather not post mind because I'd look like a noob xD

I've actually had both the 8600 gt and 9600gt in the past. The fan actually cracked in half on my old 8600gt. When I eventually ditched a 9600gtx for a 9800gtx I had a bit of a power problem. The 9800gtx uses two six pen power connectors where as the latter only used one.I had to use a molex converter cable to power the thing and I didn't get the best power that way. When I got a new PSU I made sure to get two six pen power connectors and I now i actually get less weird hiccups out of my card...

Here I go rambling on about hardware, such is the life eh?...

No such thing.

My old 8600GT burned out in February. It seemed like the Fan stopped working for a while and when I was playing L4D, it just overheated and burned out. I was able to get it replaced since it comes with a lifetime warranty. I've had it for some time and XFX is true to their word about their lifetime warranty.

The replacement 8600GT lasted until last month, then out of no where it started overheating. When idling, the GPU would be around 85-90 Degrees Celsius - so instead of having that replaced I just got a 9600gt, as a way to upgrade. I would have gotten the 9800 but the price for my 9600 was just right at the time.

And my PSU has a load of free connectors left - even with one 6 pin plugged into my GPU, I think I have another one. But for some weird reason, I think the 9600 uses two connectors too. Next time I open up my case, I'll look for that.

Hardware discussion is good if good enough, you can make a career out of it. That's what I'm trying to do with a computer building company at the moment. Have built plenty of them in my life time so yeah...such a life isn't so bad

Nice one Diligence. Haven't touched a Mac in years. Goes for macbooks and mactops? (desktops).

I have no idea how good any of that is, I suck at computer stuff (I had to search online how to find out what gfx card i had >.< )
