unless you're playing bf3 or something of that nature. you dont really need more than 1 graphics card to run two 30" screens. a 6700/560 can easily run both screens of that size and resolution for osu and any low end games.(say cod, l4d2 and the like)

i can tell you now corin, i have 8hdd's 2 optical drives 12gb ddr3 and 3 gpu's, AND an overclocked cpu(3.6-3.8ghz, and occasionally 4ghz), and i use no more than 700w furmark/bitcoin/gaming. idle is 260w.

i dont get why people think they need a massive power supplies when the hardware doesn't need it. maybe when i throw waterblocks on my two 5870's and overclock them i'll need more than 850w, but stock clocks, i dont.
Would you say an online powercalculator like this one would give the most accurate power-consumption of a build, opposed to the amount given on the site of the GPU?
My PC:

You were both saying?

Also this PC is a singlecore w/ an 8500 and 2.5GB RAM, js.

Lolno, it's inaccurate as poot. It can give you a rough estimate, but nothing you can really use as compared to the amount stated by the manufacturers.


I would give you a real reading from a wattmeter, but I have yet to borrow such a thing.

I have one for running my games through HDD and the other is a legit one I got from Japan to play legit games through legit disks lol.
The main reason I got it was because I thought the other Wii was broken (turns out that it was my router causing a weird problem because it does the same thing on my new Wii) so now I have two. I mainly play Mario Kart Wii on the Japanese Wii and Monster Hunter on my HDD Wii :P


Edit: You guys should play MH3 with me some time ^^

Finally upgraded from a 2008 Macbook to something that can actually play games. Yay for playing TF2 at more than 800x600 resolution at >20fps!


Don't have speakers yet, but seeing as I pretty much always use my headphones and I have an iPod dock, I'll probably just end up getting something cheap at a thrift store.

I was contemplating getting an Air, mostly because the current Viao I take to work is really heavy.
But since I could get a Mini with discrete graphics for the same price, I went with that, so I still need to carry the Vaio around.

erm what's ricer?im guessing it's those lights? i merely told the guy at the shop what parts i wanted and he just selected a case for me.... i didn't even know about the lights till i assembled everything at home
and i put the cpu on my table so that there wouldn't be too any wires on the floor, makes it easier to clean up, my house is also seriously small orz

A normal person wouldn't post his room when it's an extreme mess, because that would be something to be ashamed of. But since Bagno keeps posting his room in an extreme messy state, I can only conclude Bagno takes some kind of pride in his mess. And as icing on the cake he made a freaking video of his room. That would be the last thing you'd do when you're ashamed.

Pro tip #1: That sheet isn't going to make it worth any more.
Pro tip #2: For future stuff you want to sell, just keep the original box.
Pro tip #3: What does make your things worth slightly more, is keeping the receipt from the original purchase around. This, combined with the original box, eliminates all doubt that what you're trying to sell may have been stolen, and provides a warranty, depending on how old the object it.

I'm sorry, I should probably post my setup to make up for this totally off-topic post. But it hasn't really changed since last time, so just read back a few pages.

To begin with, I have #2 and #3 already. As for #1, oh most certainly not! :)
Though you'd be surprised how successfully I can ask for a (slightly) higher price when the original packaging is present. Speaking from experience mind you, not just some silly delusion of mine.

When #2 and #3 are already present, potential buyers tend to associate the presence of the original packaging with good maintenance and the relative 'newness' of the product. Just what I think, not quoted from anywhere.

But of course, the latter 2 points are priorities I know - pretty common sense.
