By these 4 pictures, I am sure that you will be able to comprehend the exact measure of my current level of geekdom due to those evil things we know as "women"

Ooooooooooooook.....

:bang:

:?!:

Ok.........................

If anyone understands this thread, speak up now

that is my computer

i wouldn't say i devoted my life, but i will agree with saying quite a bit of money and time to building this *****, and i hate it, i hate it passionately.

now i'm not a computer idiot at all BUT why so many cd drives, what are you doing with thme.
I want to know what each one does and what you use it for

Damn, you are geeked out dude.

top 2 are 12X scsi plextor cd-rw's
under that is a 40X scsi cd-rom
under that is a sonydru500A dvd writer
under that is a 16X pioneer DVD drive

from that the usage of each should be self explanitory

so why 2 cdrw's

are you rippling DVD's? PS2 games or XBOX?

oh yeah i forgot to ask,

I got a couple pals that did so much to there comp that they keep it in a freezer (I thought it was BS till i saw it) you gonna get to that point?

i originally had 4 plextor cd-rw's i paid out of my pocket to build a cd-rw machine for my ex company, they never re-imbursed me the cash which at the time was around 300.00 a drive. when i quit and moved back to california, the machine got dismantled and the drives i paid for came with me. and no i'm not ripping games yet, i have a v3 ps2 and i need a v5 so i can get the acekey and do 80min cd-rs and dvd-rips with no problems, i bought the dvd-rw as a impulse buy type of deal, i just upgraded the cpu and ram last night

i don't need to freeze it, i have a solid copper heatsink with a fan that does 5400RPM, my cpu is a 2.5ghz athlon that i can run at 2.8 with air cooling, and my temp is around 106 Farenheit, which is well below any hazardous levels.

They keep it in the freezer?
Now that's going a little too far.

back in the day when voodoo 2's were the ****, i had a self homemade water cooling rig that looked very nice, of course it cracked one day and both of my 300 buck voodoo 2's were dead.

you can buy cases now that have refrigeration units built into them. many are also coming with stock waterblocks and tubing for those that wish to go the liquid cooled route.

ALRIGHTY THEN!

jeez i'm so glad i got out of computers when i did.

You my friend are a geek, Ill give you $92 and some change for your computer.......

Wow, a tunnig computer...

i wish it only cost 92.00 =( i have a problem with always buying the newest **** irregardless if i really need it or not. before this computer i still had a athlonXP 2100+ and the only major change in technology to the 2800+ was a change in core design and the jump to 333mhz core.
