trickydicky Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 How long ago did you build these? Sounds a bit overkill on the fans for this setup.E7400 - pretty old school now, and 8800GT isn't a beast these days?The HDD setup (Raptor for OS, other for storage) is pretty much the best way apart from raptors all round.

Hmm, I doubt it plays any game in amazing quality but I'll let you have your opinion. I have my self built computer running: Q6600 @ 3.2ghzATI Radeon 4870 running at 780/1100mhz.MSI Neo-2 FR MoBo6Gb DDR2-800 RAM (yes 6Gb is overkill! )Windows 7 64-bit.

trickydicky Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Q6600 @ 3.2ghz Now that's an ancient CPU Not as ancient as the E7400? But yes it still is pretty old.... Works fine for me - GPU is still up to date (ish)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny1987 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) TBF.... there is nothing wrong with the old stuff... as to why i stand by it, its al a load of balls in my opinion anyway lmao! but for some reason i get pulled towards the "quad core/ i 5 6 7 balls!" (cant afford it anyway) but yeah... i realllllllly like the LAN party boards & setup.. quality retro gaming rigs FTW. the 8800gt/x would slam WoW, COD, GoW anyday! as far as im concerned you cant ask for much more from that type of card???? heres one of themhttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2301.jpg D0 i7 920 1366 Now then!
