Nice PC Richard. You will be able to get 5,000,000 fps in quake 2 now like!

Back in the day when I enjoyed burning money, em I mean buying every upgrade ever, I would have waited for ATI's almost certainly quicker product

I just used to pour iced-water over my CRT when it got too warm. I'll miss that monitor...

I can definitely see the point of a monitor cooler, a big monitor puts out a lot of heat and cant be good for the insides. It must be literally scorching inside a monitor

No they didn't, he handed over the money. A number of industries feed on the very gullible (419, penis enlargement pills, and most things with cooler in the name). Strictly speaking, in this case it's not even false advertising; the thingy undoubtedly cools the monitor. Of course, this is wholly unnecessary; when did you last hear of a CRT dying a heat death under normal conditions? They die of a lot of things, but not heat. This is simply a small waste of energy and money. And looking at yer man's specs, that is the least of his worries.

Put alot of time and money into this, damn right i'm waving my penis around.

I think some people mistook the point of the post and the forum it was in . This is the "Tweaking and Modding" forum , this is what these guys do and then post about it so others can see and maybe get ideas , and also to say " check this out " . Over in the battlefield forums the gamers post their stats , here they post their setup .Everyone has their own thing , if I could afford that rig I wouldn't post it here , I would post it everywhere

I would not post it in a box, I would not post it with a fox, I would not post it in the air, I would not post it anywhere!

Well, not the bit about the monitor fan, anyway; that's just embarrasing.

And yes, I realise a large part of the point of this forum is penis size wars; I'm only teasing gently

Well at the start there was alot of confusion, we just didnt know what response he wanted! that why he got a whole spectrum of responses.

WizZard · 14-07-2005 08:15AM

I think we should lobby for an [e-peen] (thanks Koneko!) tag, it would make threads like this a lot clearer!

astrofool · 14-07-2005 10:18AM

putting specs in your sig is probably worse tbh...

WizZard · 14-07-2005 10:29AM

Could be... quite possibly worse... but I don't get offended by people querying them

Richard Dower · 14-07-2005 03:54PM

Pfft....be glad i don't post pics OF my penis, then you guys would really have something to be jealous of.

Gareth2303 · 14-07-2005 04:20PM

I think your forgetting how you bought your pc rich....Compensation from the accident you had in that warehouse. Remember..It got chopped off

lol

Oj, Nice setup!!

Yes, actually, I propose a thread on feedback banning specs in sigs, to be replaced instead with a link to a page listing the spec instead.

Also, rsynnot, it's not how much you spend, but what you spend it on and how they come together.

gline · 15-07-2005 10:02AM

nice rig, but aircooling and pc3700 ram aint up to much these days. But i think the 7800 probably makes up for it..maybe, lol

alos why gigabyte???....whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Richard Dower · 15-07-2005 06:45PM

OCZ PC3700 gave me the best timings at 2.8V, You can get faster memory but the latencies goes way up. I wanted CAS 2, sure you can get OCZ that can go 2-2-2-5 upto DDR500...but at 3.3-3.5V. Not many boards support this high voltage.

I can get 2-3-3-8 upto DDR480, i can get 2.5-3.3.8 upto DDR500. I've seen this memory go to DDR520...but not totally stable.

Gigabyte rocks...it's feature packed and stable as hell, but not a great overclocker. I'm afraid of watercooling....

Gareth2303 · 15-07-2005 08:59PM

With specs like that, why overclock? lol...

Well, exactly. It would buy only a very small part of a moon rocket, for example. And, of course, no-one should ever buy a monitor fan. *giggles* (AFAIR, in fact, a CRT needs to be at a certain temperature to function, like most other vacuum tube devices. The fan just wastes energy; doesn't even make the monitor cooler

)
