What computer are you using?

I am using HP duel core desktop and Sony vaio N series Laptop, it is really great laptop, HP also good.
 
Multiple Displayport monitors must have set you back a bit, what screens did you get? And a 5970 is going to be better for driving multiple screens.

Also, what voltage did you require for the 4.1GHz on that Phenom? Model and Stepping would be appreciated. If you're feeling up to it, what CPU block and rad do the WC setup use? I'm going to assume that you aren't water cooling that GPU, as the non-reference PCB due to the extra VRAM means you'll struggle to find a block.

Oh, and 3.25GB of RAM must be fun. What kit are you using? Also, no reply pretty much guarantees that you don't actually have this machine.

actually the multiport display monitors didnt set me back that much. I used 1.55 volts on the phenom though its not perfectly stable its stable enough for me. I didnt like the 5970 i chose the 5870 because it was cheaper (300$ cheaper actually) the gpu is water cooled all the computer is. it uses 3.84 gigs of ram. Its a phenom 1090T BE E0 stepping actually i didnt oc it 1 of my computer experts friends did i helped him put her together but he did the oc work. Im using 2 Kingston HyperX T1. This is the water cooling kit im using:

Two DD12V-D5 PUMP
EK MOTHERBOARD cooling KIT
RADIATORS BLACK ICE GTX480 + BLACK ICE GTX360
DANGER DEN RAD-RESERVOIR
VGA WATER COOLER BLOCK 5870
5 ZALMAN FAN BLUE LED 120MM + 4 ZALMAN FAN BLUE LED 80MM
OCZ RAM FAN

Sounds nice. Do you have any photos of the internals? I've got photos of my system that I might upload soon.
 
I just put together an old Desktop as a spare. All the parts where essentially freebies that I collected over time. I spent a grand total of $25 on this.

Dual CPU 2xPentium 3 1GHz
768 MB SDRAM100
Asus P3C-D Motherboard
Nvidia Riva TNT2-M64
20GB HDD | 80GB HDD
XP Home & Arch Linux

The OSs are yet to be installed, because I can't actually find any IDE cables. It's in a relatively new case and has LED fans and cathodes. I'm going to chuck in some old-but-fast AGP cards (the TNT2-M64 is rubbish) and use it as a retro gaming machine.

15" Macbook pro I am using.

With Mac OS X and Windows 7 bootcamped. I have to use Visual Studio 2008 for programming, so that is why I have it on there. XD

I bought a $50 Dell with a Pentium 4 in it to use as a retro gaming machine. I'm thinking of spending a little to upgrade it so I can play games up to about 2007ish.
 
Q 6600 quad core but overclocked to 3.52 GHZ at daily usage

8 gb ram ddr2

geforce zotac gtx 470 amp edition

3x raid 0 OCZ SSD (vertex 2 60 GB) (750 MB read per second)
 
Athlon 64 X2 5200+ @2.7GHz
ASUS M2N68 Motherboard
5GB DDR2 Ram at some speed i dunno
Geforce 9600GT 512MB
Combined 1.25TB HDD Space
Asus Xonar DS Sound Card
Windows 7 (Home Premium) 64-bit

The only problems with the Dells of that era are poor airflow and proprietary power supplies (not all, but most), so you're stuck with a cool AGP card, which severely limits your options.

VERY nice. What sort of cooling do you have on that Q6600?

This is a custom built based on AMD in a large Antec case Superlanboy. My laptop is a Toshiba A75 I got for free as a cover repairs. My office is another Intel based custom build. But I own them. They are mine.
 
I'm using a Sager np8662 laptop. Was pretty much the most powerful 15" laptop on the market when I got it, and it still holds its own really well.

2.4GHz Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
320GB 7200rpm HDD
nVidia GeForce 260M
Windows 7 Home Premium

Looks nice. I'd be inclined to brag about the res on that screen, as well. :D

I'm tossing up as to whether the 7200 rpm drives are worth the noise/heat/power over the top of the 5400rpm drive in my laptop.
