Your PC ATM

[disappointed.jpg]

after years of bigger/smaller upgrades finally got my sleeper build 99% ready (missing 1% - still thinking of going bigger )

THE RAT ROD:
current specs are:
- AMD Ryzen 5 5600X + Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120
- MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus
- Powercolor "Red Dragon" RX 6800XT
- 2x16GB kit of Corsair Veng RGB Pro
- 2x 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (Samsung 980 and WD SN770)
- 650W Corsair TX650M

from what i can remember the build went like this :
cpu - AMD FX4130 -> R5 2400G -> R5 5500 -> R5 5600x -> (maybe) R7 5800x3d
gpu - GTX 275 -> HD6950 -> RX580 8G -> RX5700XT -> RX6800XT -> ???
mobo - ??? (AM3+ for the FX) -> AB350M -> bad asus B550 -> good MSI B550

also had enough stuff laying around to build a 2nd pc (r5 5500 and rx 5700xt) and upgrade my dad's pc (awful FX -> bad/meh R5 2400G)

the setup changed multiple times, but the main point of the build is that the case is from some old-ass prebuild (still has an original pentium 4 sticker!)

edit: yes, the cooler rad is "mounted" like that (no mounts :v)
edit 2: made an account here just to post this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But can you remember all of your graphics cards throughout the years?
GeForce 2 MX400; Radeon 9100 IGP; GeForce FX5200; GeForce 6600 DDR2; Radeon X800 GT; GeForce 7600 GT; GeForce 8600 GT; GeForce 9600 GSO (384 MB); Radeon HD 4770; GeForce GTS 450; GeForce GTX 660; GeForce GTX 960 (2 GB); GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB); GeForce 1660 Ti.
Yeah... graphics cards were more affordable, sometime ago. I remember paying what today would be 70 USD for a brand new 9600 GSO from Leadtek. I should have kept it... for nostalgia purposes.

You can see how my PC looks:

This hardware is currently weak and outdated, but my PC actually runs very fast for my daily use because I select very fast apps and games.
I'm going to wait for the Raptor Lake Refresh and then I'm going to buy a new CPU, I already have DDR5 and a new motherboard.

Good ol' PVC plasticizer strikes again!



Went ahead and swapped out the old PVC tubing for some rubber fuel hose since I already had some and it was the same size, not as nice looking but it does the job well. Gave all the other parts a good deep cleaning as well to get rid of any residual plasticizer sticking around.

Beautiful, i know how much those chromax covers cost !! you gotta have em to complete the picture. Nice build.

Next investment will be 6+1 new 140mm fans once the Chromax versions release. 6 for the case and 1 for the D15.

Just realized those VRM coolers are in the shape of a coffin. Always a good sign that they can't be killed.

Yes i have posted my pc before and there are really not much changed. This time however i got a new phone, so i mostly post this time with better pictures. But i must say first try with new phone (Google Pixel 7A), i am not that impressed.

Well here is my dual system in one case. Warning a bit long post cause many pictures.

What is that ATX motherboard in there? It's got a glorious amount of USB ports back there.

Great build !!! This PC needs to be called "the consumer"

Thanks. Well it does consume in more than one way. Money, electricity and so on. Sometimes hobbies become expensive.

I think you have a little space there somewhere you can pop one of those mini pc's in and you can officially have a triple CPU system.

A Raspberry Pi always fits.....

expensive , yes !! ive been at it for nearly 25 years i understand.

Lol. Yeah I could probably put a raspberry pi or something similar in it as well. But two is enough.

 

[freeagent]

You know you wanna stick a Pi in there now

Not just one, but two... Well maybe three.

After the air leak test, now the ultimate test -> the fluid

So is the case, and I like it.

I started PC gaming with playing at 1024x768 low 20-30fps so playing at 4K with med-high settings without RT (except in RE games, they dont tax too much) with FSR quality on, yeah, 6700 XT OC does the trick.

My first PC I built by my lonesome was running a 133Mhz Pentium, 128MB of EDO RAM, Soundblaster sound card, and a variety of leading edge video cards. I was happy to have ~24 fps at 640x480.

P II 400 @ 450MHz, 160MB & GF2 MX here. Oh boy did I play Diablo II all day back in the day.

Just had enough horsepower to run Winamp in the background..
