Ohai Community.
Out of curiosity, i want to be nosy and ask:
What sort of computer are you using (PC/MAC | Self-Built/Brand Named | Laptop/Desktop etc...)
and would you post your system specifications on here too (CPU/Mobo/RAM/HDD's/Screens? etc... | overclocked or not?)
no stone goes unturned.
I am just curious about your computing preferences, perhaps a pattern will emerge? or maybe it will be quite varied?

I've been playing with a consumer PC I've had for a few years. I've gradually updated parts of it manually, and since I don't play anymore, its specs aren't classified.
AMD Athlon 64 FX 3800 (~2.4GHz single-core)
1 GB crucial memory
250 GB 7200rpm HDD
ATi Radeon 4650 x512
22" widescreen HD monitor
Noise-cancelling headphones
And I kicked ass on that thing. Wheeee
I've had linux and windows OS's on it. Trem always ran better under linux, once all dependencies were sorted out. I finished on windows, since, being a gamer, linux was a bad choice for that purpose.

well atm i got 3
my Main pc
CPU: Athlon 64 x2 6000+
Ram: 2GB DDR2 ram
GFX: GF9600GT
HDD: 200Gb HDD
Monitor: 17" LCD
Keyboard+Mouse: G15 Keyboard G9 mouse
OS: slackware64 13.1
PC for my nephew i been making(hes still a lil young to use it maybe when hes 2)
CPU: Athlon 64 x2 (cant remember less then 6000)+
Ram: 2GB DDR2 ram
GFX: GF9600GT
HDD: 1Tb HDD
Monitor: 15" LCD
Keyboard+Mouse: IBM keyboard cheap mouse
OS: slackware64 13.1
and finally my mediacenter
CPU: core 2 duo 3.0ghz
Ram: 2GB DDR3 ram
GFX: GF7600GT passive cooled

Monitor: 28" LCD
Keyboard+Mouse: IBM keyboard + capture card remote
TV Tuner: leadtek DTV2000h(Great Card)
OS: slackware64 13.1 with mythtv trunk
i have been thinking of changing the media center to an atom for lower power consumption but i don't think it will have enough power maybe an AMD but they all have ATI cards onboard and ATI and Linux don't mix(and i hear their video coding is a pile) atm im leaning towards the new "sandy bridge" chips coming out next year with onboard Intel Graphics not as low power as an atom(wich afaik is like 10TDP or something) but at 35w TDP should be ok and have enough power for a combo FE/BE mythtv setup and if needed software decoding(not sure how good VA-API is)

Both taiyo's and face's builds are pretty neat, i must say.
Those SSDs for / and swap purposes sound nice, but at the moment i'd be more inclined to just stick some more ram in for the money, I shall experiment with a cheap SATA>SD or CF adaptor at some point though :p.

Well laptops are small closed cases so it should be expected. My GeForce 7400 overheats when I play tremulous.

I find that if you elevate it with, say, a small piece of wood on either side to allow air to flow underneath, you'll prolong the time before overheating. It is inevitable, though. There's no way to properly cool a laptop.

Yeah I've been doing that and I'm also just starting to consider the fact that the area where I feel to check for heat is the heatsink so it might just be the fact that it's the heatsink. And Faes I was considering buying one of those but currently all of my money is going towards my new computer and a non crt monitor :)

How long have you had it? perhaps it might pay off to re-apply some better thermal compound on it? the thermal grease/pads that are on them straight out of the manufacturers are pretty low quality (in most cases)

I used to have this large iron stove in my previous apartment. I didn't use it for heating
but it was an awesome laptop heatsink.

Well I know it definitely needs a new fan. The current one makes a bunch of grinding noises because my little cousin put a paperclip in it while it was running and I had to go in and pull it out and it hasn't worked right since.

Locally-assembled box. Abit KN8, Athlon XP 3500+, Radeon X300. It's adequate for Tremulous if a bit slow (wrt frame rate) when there's a lot going on. Full-screen is presently 1280×1024.
Laptop: Acer Aspire 5332. Celeron T3100, GM45. Runs Tremulous full-screen (1366×768) well too, but tends to drop the frame rate more readily.
EeePC 901. Atom N270, GMA950. Slower, of course, but still copes fairly well.
The OS on each is based on Debian squeeze; amd64 where possible, otherwise i386. The first two have newer X (X.org 1.9) and newer Mesa (7.9). All three have fairly recent kernels.

Ebay is your friend, you can get a reasonably high-end AGP card(by agp standards) for very little, certainly well below 80 euros, second-hand.

NVidia cards support AGP only up to the 7xxx series, but I think AMD offers some DX10 AGP cards which are <= €80.

I've built several computers and ending up selling quickly, at the moment i've got an medium gaming comp.
NZXT Guardian blue (MIDI Tower)
Intel i5_2500K (Yeah fuck AMD shit)
ASUS Maximus IV GENE-Z smallest of the ROG class.
Harddrive Western digital black 1TB
Corsair SSD 60GB SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3.0), 555MB/495MB/s

I have ordered a new Cabinett, NZXT Phantom black(big tower) And a new samsung syncmaster 24 screen, still waiting for the new chipset, and socket to come out.
Also the motherboard i got has proven to be the best motherboard of it's class to overclock with! it overclocked best to 5.0 ghz with an i7 processor.
-
NZXT makes fantastic cases. I have a Gamma from them, and they give you a huge amount of space for cable management. The drive mounts are really nice too, the cables are on the inside, not on the outside, so the appearance with the side panel off is very clean.
-
I Agree with you! except for my midi tower, this one does not have much of space. http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=630860

Here is the PC “barebones kit” that I ordered a few years ago and have continued upgrading when needed. I know some are going to say it is not that powerful, but it is better than some, and for the price, it is cheaper to build, than buying a new one every few years. Here are the specs:
Hardware:
• Ultra Black Defender ATX Mid-Tower Case with Front USB Ports
◦ 400 Watt XVS Modular Power Supply
◦ Biostar MCP63 GeForce 6150 Socket AM3 Motherboard
◦ AMD Sempron 140 CPU (yes, I plan on upgrading this)
∙ 2700.000 MHz
∙ Bogomips 5425.82
◦ CRUCIAL 4GB DDR3
∙ 1333MHZ PC3-10600 DIMM (x2)
◦ ZOTAC GeForce GT 220
◦ Seagate 320GB Serial ATA HD
∙ 7200
∙ 16MB
∙ SATA-3G
• Britz 2100s speakers
◦ 6.5 in. sub-woofer
• HP DVD840I DVD Writer with LightScribe (x2)
• Logitech Classic Keyboard 200
• Logitech Extreme Gaming Headset
• Logitech MX 620 Cordless Laser Mouse
• Acer AL1917W
• Acer X171
Operating System:
• Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2
◦ Kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64
◦ GCC 4.4.5 (x86_64-linux-gnu)
◦ GNOME 2.30.2 (Debian 2010-11-12)

Well it works! still it's outdated, and i would prefer an better processor, motherboard, and screencard, the Gainward geforce 580 is pretty awesome, Still you are correct, better upgrading then buying new! but remember to ALWAYS sell and upgrade before your parts get outdated.
