Yea I would love it but a bit broke at the minute, max I had on me is 150

.
Just writing here btw too post a build I helped a friend do, this is his first pc so taught him how to set them up,build and tidy etc and definiately good for a first build

. The dvd drive sata cable has been moved since so looks better and the bottom light is no where near as bright as that when closed. Also the reason for the uv light is he is going to go watercooling pretty soon when he gets his new gpu.

Just taught would post up how set up my htpc that was shown in previous pics. Both are 28" hannspree/hanns-g screens. I put it right at the end of the bed so can lie in bed and play xbox while browsing net/watching movies at same time

Was testing a overclock today and decided to post up some results.

System Specs:

i5-760 @ 3.8, 6gb ddr3 @ 1333, asus engtx 460

All games were ran @ 1920x1080

Mafia 2 Benchmark, AA off, PhysX off

80.7 fps @ 885/1770/2000
63.8 fps @ stock

Dirt 2 Benchmark, AA off, Ultra settings DX11

77.5 fps @ 885/1770/2000
61.4 fps @ stock

Resident Evil 5, dx10, AA off

90.5 fps @ stock
115.8 fps @ 885/1770/2000

Street Fighter 4, AA off

185 fps @ stock
236 fps @ 885/1770/2000

Lost Planet 2 Benchmark, AA off, DX11 maxed out

38.8 fps @ stock
51.0 fps @ 885/1770/2000

Crysis Warhead, AA off, Dx10, Enthusiast Settings

31.35 fps @ stock
40.06 fps @ 885/1770/2000

GTA4, Maximum Possible settings

62.2 fps @ stock
67.0 fps @ 855/1770/2000 ( Benchmark bug, wont exceed 67 even with low settings )

Far Cry 2, DX10, Ultra settings

86.66 fps @ stock
108.92fps @ 885/1770/2000

Edit:

Metro 2033, DX11, AAA, Highest settings + Tesselation

27.4 fps @ stock
34.0 fps @ 885/1770/2000

Metro is such a bugger to run at dx11 on highest settings, iv read alot about it and changing from dx11 to dx10 at least doubles the fps in game, and theres no visual differences at all. sli`d gtx460s dont scale too well in it either, majority of people were getting 45fps in that bench

deceit · 16-02-2011 9:18pm

Nuxx what made you put 6gb ram in it rather than 4 or 8?

If you like that you will like the fact that right beside the bed is also my gaming rig from past pics and with a spinable chair when done with the comp can just spin around, and fall off it into bed, ultimate setup when am lazy or just back from a run and knackered

Oh yea solitaire heres the difference with the uv lights in

Camera doesnt pick up all the other parts for some reason too well but the whole board is lit up from the water and the water is more luminous, a bit like radioactive piss if had too describe it :P

. It was orange dye i put in so no idea how it turned that colour but I like it.

dwighet · 20-02-2011 11:00am

that looks cool:cool:
All it need now is a sticker like this on it to warn whoever enters the room..

Strange issue with my 460, its no longer stable at the clocks it used to be. Anyone know any reason why this has happened? Wear and tear maybe

Edit: Think it was the memory clock set too high

Lads just have to recommend the Razer DeathAdder Respawn 3500dpi Xtreme Precision Gaming Mouse and Boogie Bug AimB.Pad XL Gaming Mouse Surface on on overclockers

I was shocked to see how big the mat was but lads i totally have to recommend this setup. I was using the logitech Mx518 and it wasnt doing it for me so after some investigation I bought the Razor and I havent looked back. The mat is just a beast

I was going to get that until I realised the left hand version wasnt included in the deal, strange place too put this prob better off in bargain section or somewhere else.

Nice set up. Hopefully I might go for something like that. It looks a fine machine. No room on my table for a second monitor eventhough I have one.

ScumLord · 18-03-2011 6:07pm

I can have After Effects, Photoshop and Premiere on the go with a little bit of RAM to spare, not much though, I saw it using up 14GB the other day.
