Oh lets put a cap on the price remove the monitors and keyboard/mouse and try and keep just the box under $1000

[Kedash00]

i'de say you were about right with a 8, upgrade the video card and you'll get a 10! lol
but not a bad rig at all

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Heh...interesting. 700W PSU and 7300GT GPUs? Is that a typo?

My economical rating = 8.5
My raw power rating = 6
My WoW single-client rating = 42 (because X2 3000's and GeForce 5's are overkill for WoW)

Hey, this was fun. Who's next?

i thought this would be fun! :D

yea i have a 700w PSU for future upgrades and yes those are (2) 7300GT Vcards. i only had $1000 to spend for an upgrade. oh and its 1 year old i forgot to throw the age in there

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Roger that. I just upgraded two of my boxes to dual/quad core systems over the last few months. I still have one 3.6Ghz P4 around but it has good hardware everywhere else so I'm having a tough time justifying upgrading an alt box that gets 60+ FPS solid. :P

I like your set up i give it an 8 also. I think it could reach 10 if you had 2 x 9800GT cards and a quad CPU, maybe the new AMD true 4 brain chip, but your a pentium boarder.

im getting 200+ FPS on 1 copy of WoW at lowest settings but at max settings and max resolution with all the multi sampling i can get 60FPS with the most beautiful game WoW could ever be!! I love running 1 copy of WoW for the sharpness and textures i can get in SLi. I can run 4 copies of wow in SLi on only 1 monitor and get 60FPS on all 4 at lowest settings. with my current rig. I will be getting 4GB of Mushkin RAM in the mail soon and cant wait to install.

[bornmx]

yea the 9800 were not around when i got this. During normal game play i get around 30-40fps :S:S when running 3 WoW i get around 20 fps on the main window. Am looking at getting a quad-core cpu but need to save a bit.

[Knytestorme]

Current setup:

Gigabyte P35-DSR3 mobo
Q6600 @ 3.0GHz aircooled
4 x 1Gb 5-5-5-15 800MHz PNY RAM
Gigabyte 9600GT
22" BenQ monitor + 22" Chimei monitor @ 1680x1050
Antec Lanboy case
650w Antec Tru-Power PSU
2 x 250Gb WD Caviar HD + 1 x 500Gb WD Caviar, all SATA2
Original G15 keyboard
Razer Lachesis mouse
Belkin n52 speedpad
Saitek X52 HOTAS
Windows XP

New system for running 4 wow clients + most of my dev work will be

Asus Striker 2 790i SLI mobo
Q6600 (I love this cpu and don't see the point to anything else :))
4 x 2Gb Kingston/OZCrucial RAM (not sure on timings yet, depends if I can get 2Gb sticks in 1066 or not)
2 x 9800GX2
4 x 22" BenQ 1680x1050 monitors
Antec 900 case
Antec 750w Tru-Power PSU
6 x 750Gb Samsung SATA2 32Mb drives (1 for OS + installs, 1 for games + data, 4 for RAID5)
Fusion DVB-T dual tuner PCI-E tv card
Razer Lachesis mouse
Original G15 if I can find one on ebay, otherwise something ergo for coding
Vista64 Ultimate

Plan will be to mount the 6 monitors in a 3x2 format, current pc running 2 screens (1 with main, 1 for surfing/tv/movies/etc) and then the new pc handling 4 screens with one instance per monitor (am hoping that running 2 GX2's will give me the equiv of a 9800GTX per screen). The only issue I have is that I want the main screen in bottom middle position so it's directly in my los and it's second monitor on top, but this then means that the 4 monitors on second pc will have a gap between them if I am using it and it could get annoying. I may have to look into some form of switch so I can just plug the monitors into it, it into the 6 video outputs on the 2 pc's and then dynamically map between them as I need.

I'll be a little be on the harsh side with my rankings...first rig is around a 7 for me, the new one will be around a 12 :D

[Skaai]

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 128k

Meh... e-peen game tbh.

ASUS P5E WS Pro
Ati x700, cant remember the exact model.
Q9550 @ factory defaults (2.83 Ghz)
4x 1GB Corsair XMS 1066 Mhz mem. gives some room for OC-ing in the future.
2x SATA 150 GB Raptor discs in RAID 0
2x SATA 200 GB discs in RAID 0, cant remember the brand.
2x External 500 GB discs for fraps storage, pron, etc.
Some kind of PSU from Thermaltake, 550W. Coils start to beep, so it needs replacement soon.
Low-budget NEC 'can burn all' drive. Gone low-budget because my 120 Euros Plextor drive gave up two months after the waranty was over.
Some kind of Zalman cooler on my CPU and vcard. It works, its big. Thats what matters.
2x Ultra cool 19" CRT monitors. Yep, I fail at life.

Imo, CRTs are still better in picture quality, and ofc, I need an excuse just because I dont have the money to buy a pair of LCDs.

And yeah, my vcard needs upgrading, altough it runs my alt clients at 15 FPS and the main client at 30 FPS.
