Hey guys, I know I've had a conversation or two about our rigs and the rediculousness of them at this era of JA and how nerdy the people who play JA are so I took some pictures of mion and I'm sharing with you. Its purdy so enjoy!

This is with ALL the lights on:


This is without any skin:


This is the latest photo of my rig, I've changed my video cards from two X1950 pros to dual HD4870X2's.. HUGE upgrade!

[jawfin]

Wow um, that's really out there O.O

Puts my cardboard box to shame ;[



Speaks of nerdy - I just love teh labels u put on the last image

[blacki]

you use water cooling ?

[Phreedom]

Is that the rig that deathstriker6666 uses in Pure Pwnage Ep8?

[Phoenix]

That's a pretty nice machine.

I'm guessing JKA isn't the only game you play

[Laika]

Hehe no its not the only game I play. I used to be CALi for CSS and CoD4. Division 4 season champs in '07 for CoD4 . I also play WoW but I try not to. This machine was built for a school project and Crysis cause I was a beta tester when it was originally coming out then I realized that they didn't make that game worldly realistic ha.

Yeap, it's liquid cooled. When I got my HD4870's, I cooled the whole system so there are even more tubes now. And about the labels.. I got to show off my goods some how right?

I don't know who deathstriker6666 is.. Sowwy. I made this machine from scratch. If your talking about the "Skull Trail" I wish.. That thing puts this machine to shame 4 times over.

[saunby]

Sweet!
Maybe some new speakers though? Yours dont look too awesome, either way your rig DEFINITLY pwns Jawfins! He has a desk fan cooling system! Uber...

[jawfin]

I upgraded since then saunby, see http://www.knights-reborn.org/forum/vie ... 7&start=16

[Dirge]

Im guessing you have 8 cores? lol
No doubt you got a quad core going on in there lol
Did the school help you pay for this monster yourself or did you buy the parts outta your own pocket?
that HD4870 is something ive looked at after i got my pell for my desktop but never really bought....
>.> But its running Ubuntu 9 on that sucker.....Ek lol

[Darfin]

I have nothing to say except that's only a few steps away from the Starship Enterprise.

And hey! You got my speakers!

[Melissa]

wow 2 HD 4870x2s .. thats gonna have some beef.. what processor and motherboard are you running all that on

[Laika]

I only got a QX6850 cause I'm running an AW9D mobo.. Thats the best processor I could put on this motherboard cause it doesn't support the 32nm or the i7. And yep.. those 4870x2's are rediculously over powered.. HA I dont even use direct x 10. I run XP PRO x64 bit.

My school reimbursed me for 30% of the price of it... so they paid 1000$ LOL!

[Melissa]

What is a common and annoying problem...

You will actually find your system will struggle to keep up with those units.

Seriously all that graphics power I bet you struggle to use 40%. Gets held back. Annoying really.

You finding them stable. My sister runs then find the drivers and reliability a bit frustrating in the past.. She has had two fail although she reckons it’s down to earlier batch issues. Seems to be okay now

Btw you heard from squall/ paul blade whatever recently? Seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Mind you never really spoke to me anyway

[jawfin]

OMG UoL - I just made the connection as Melissa pointed out

Blade was my master in KR here - dammit I knew UoL rang a bell at the back of my mind - I have Paul on MSN but i bet the old bugger doesn't even know I'm Council >.<

Mel, I saw him on MSN yesterday; he spends all online time playing Eve now, and UoL the KR clan ended up being no more then a social club - and now his web page has expired

Squall was on KR a couple of weeks ago - didn't stay long though >.>

[Melissa]

Yep I was in UoL until they changed to Eve.. Gave eve a try but to be honest couldn't get on with it. that and Eve was originally installed by Richard who was invited by a RL mate and well I couldn't be bothered with my own character etc

Still not sure who Laika is though.. I am sure ill feel embarressed when I realise.

A new recruit, no-one you know I don't think.

[Melissa]

Fair enough, she said she was from UoL when they were around thats all.

[Wolferion]

Goddamn that's some power ! Glad to see I'm not only one hunting for power XD I love when everything runs smoothly and fast.

[Chantelle]

Wow nice rig very nice

Although Mel does raise a valid point

Your crossfire might be "currently" redundant, infact if you taken one card out it might not be any noticeable effect.! some granted but not alot.. Not your fault per say, you just have to spend shit loads getting the best out of everything and in this case your GPUs over exceeded your system which in long term you may replace.

Also are you running the OS on an old HDD? just going on diagram. it would be CONSIDERABLY better on a faster hdd.

Apart from that though nice system

ps F or me, I'd lose the lights.. think it looks chavy but thats just personal opinion :p

[Laika]

I dont have the OS on that old HDD anymore.. I have a 500gb and a Tb now so.. its cool. I know I'm not getting what I can out of those graphix cards but I am saving up to convert to and i7 and DDR3.. which.. ya know.. means hundreds of dollar's. but im set for the future at least

[Chantelle]

Yeah that sounds about right!

So when you said check out my rig, it's pretty much all changed lol
