Well I just bought myself a new gaming PC

I plan on building a custom gaming enclosure for all my high powered games such as Ship Simulator, Flight Simulator, 18 Wheels of Steel, Tower Simulator, Alaskan Storm, And the most demanding of them all Trainz 2009.

I thought I might include the total manifest of my new custom computer...

HP Pavilion Elite d5200t ATX customizable Desktop PC
   * â€¢ Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
* â€¢ Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad processor Q9600 [3.0GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz FSB]
   * â€¢ 8GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM [4 DIMMs]
   * â€¢ FREE UPGRADE! 640GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive from 500GB
* â€¢ 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT [2 DVI, HDMI adapter]
   * â€¢ LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive
   * â€¢ Integrated 7.1 channel sound with front audio ports

Estimated build date: July 13, 2009

I think even the people at HP that are going to assemble this computer are not going to want to give it up.

Reasonably moderate to somewhat nice machine, I think...

Nah..just kidding.. great setup mate. That'll run perfect, if not better.

Congrats!

Fred.

Unlike me, then.

I didn't realize RoR was a demanding game at all.

I'm thinking that either those people are just trying to annoy me, or they thing that more FPS is a bad thing!

I also plan to have duel Screen.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2009, 01:22:09 »

Maybe they are just jealous.

Minime · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2009, 01:24:17 »

who wouldn't be? That's an awesome machine, wish I got one too

Kapn Jonah · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:08:23 »

I say thats gonna work perfectly llamalord

And their obviously just jealous...

Or it might be that your machine is so obviously good that they think the poll is just for larking about. It's a bit like asking "Is gold golden coloured: Yes/No". You'd get a lot of "No" votes.

That is a very good set of specs, by the way.

So, people with swords will be a frequent feature?

Of course im trying to annoy you, you ask if a 164 foot yacht is nice and make a poll people are gonna vote NO to be pains, as I did

I hope you live in a good neighborhood or you are putting that in a room with no windows

Very similar to my pavilion, I opted for the amd quad chipset though as I find they run better than intel.
Did you get a monitor with it? if not the hp w2448hc is excellent. Ive not got mine set up to dual screens yet because I cant be bothered to buy a bigger desk

Overall hp have come a long way and you wont be dissapointed.

jazzy01 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2009, 15:17:25 »

Forgot to add that hp dont use the best cooling systems so I added a water cooled system as they are much better at dispursing the heat.

And throwing the occasional glass of cold water over it will not work, that WILL make you DEAD

llamalord · « **Reply #22 on:** July 10, 2009, 15:31:28 »

Great one more money sink

I thought the boat was bad

I just got portion one of the new computer, The Screen 23.5 inch black beauty. Next will be the noise canceling head phones, then the other screen, then the desk, then the chair, and finally the computer.

Then comes the fun part, setting it up while building the enclosure.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #23 on:** July 10, 2009, 15:37:12 »

A screen is nothing without a PC

As I said before I hope you l;ive in a good neighborhood or put some pretty good locks on than house

Big Screens are sweet my uncle has a 24 in and that is sick! But then you get the people that hook their PC up to their 40" Widescreens youd havve to sit pretty far away though

Lucky you though

llamalord · « **Reply #24 on:** July 11, 2009, 14:17:54 »

People that hook up their laptops to their 48" TV screen who in the world would do that... ...Of coarse, Not me

Poll

At what Frame Rate will my new system run Ship Simulator
