Well, I figured since the mac users have their own thread; PC users deserve one too! So post up your setup.
As for me, I'm a starving college student with way too many expensive hobbies so my gaming rig isn't fully complete yet. I've got most of the parts with high hopes that I'll be able to get my last few pieces in the next week or so. 🙂
Gateway
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
1.8 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, Shared 2 MB L2 Cache
250 GB Hard Drive
2048 MB DDR2 Memory
Creative X-fi Sound Card
Radeon X1900 Videocard
PC's are still putting out machines...God Bless em I say!
Just teasing...
My rig is a few years old, gotta build a new one soon 😡
Assembled it myself
Intel Q6600 2.4ghz quad Core, forget the rest of the stats, but when it was released, a gamers holy grail for price to effectiveness.
700GB HDD
4048MB Patriot DD2 Memory
Sadly, no sound card, but I use a Logitech G35 Headset, which is a USB headset, so kind of a wash...
NVIDIA 8800GT, das right, kickin it old school.
Not bad, not bad. I can't wait to finish mine and get off this laptop. WoW looks turrible on it.

Me talkin like that or that I use an 8800GT?
😛
Or that I consider an 8800GT oldschool?
well it is old school. It's like three or four year old card, isn't it? I just would have expected you to have the latest and greatest on graphics cards, however, as I am researching a new system, I am running into the newest models are running into driver issues. So, maybe you are onto something...
Eh, the whole system is about the same age, I built it to last a few years, my next build is going to be the same way, best bang for my buck per component.
I'm a huge fan of nvidia. Hmmm.... maybe we should start a new thread of graphics cards...
Niika,
dreaming of a wonderful way to willow away a Friday...
Future proofing is the only way to build. If your willing to shell out some extra cash, you can stay ahead of the curve for a few years.
Built from scratch.

Just bought an evga nVidia GTX 460 graphics card, hoping the new update that will allow us to use DX 10/11 will make this puppy scream. Not super happy with it's performance atm, 30 fps in Dal is all I can pull out of it on ultra settings, unless I'm inside a building. You guys with the ATI cards, how is your fps in Dal? Almost bought a 5770 instead of the nVidia, but I've always been an nVidia user, so I went with the 460.
