Don't exactly have a camera I can easily upload stuff from.
But I do have screenshots.

Here, have this.

For those of you that don't know, it goes up to 7.9.

My dad overclocks as a hobby. Yeah...

Ha-ha, I really want something like Daniel's! I am way to ghetto for that... With the double monitors and the gaming computer! I want one of those so bad. Someday I will get one. I have a laptop on a wooden board with a mouse, cheap ear buds and a USB cooling fan. Now I really need a Gaterade machine and a donut. I loove Gaterade!

This is my rig (Ignore the gaping hole in the front of the case... LOL) AMD quad 3.21GHz, Radeon HD 6570, 12 gigs of ram, and a sata hard drive that we had.

My i7 920 D0 is incredibly voltage hungry. The only way I can hit stable 4.0 GHz is with my vcore at 1.4 v - that results in really high temperatures.

My Corsair H50 + single pull fan configuration wasn't cutting it.

Unfortunately, I need the two side 120 mm fans to keep my northbridge and motherboard components cool.

So, I was unable to fit two fans to the radiator through conventional methods.

Luckily, after some fiddling, I was able to mount a second fan to the radiator. The caveat? The pull fan must be mounted outside of my computer case.

It dropped my load temperature 5 celsius! And, as a bonus, it frightens my cat.

Elite 341 FTW. You can't be mad when you scratch a $40 computer case! If I had purchased a $100 mATX case, I'd be pretty upset.

Seems everybody is showing off their pc's and laptops. Might as well do it.

My first ever computer :

- Pentium 3 333Mhz

- 8 Mb Ati Video Card

- 334 Mb Ram

- Hdd 160 GB Samsung (Hdd Changed 2 times. This is the third one which i bought this year. First one Hitachi sadly fell and broke , whike the second while wasn't that good, only worked for 4-5 years.

Basically this computer was bought by my father in Russia in about 1997-1998 and guess what , it works up to now (thats from where i am writing this message.) What brand you ask ? It was bought from a factory unbranded and thus cheaper although at those times it cost about 1000$+.

My 2nd Computer:

- Intel Core 2 Duo E6800 2.13Ghz (not sure about the number , lazy to check but its somewhere there.)

- Ram 5GB DDR2 (originally was 2GB but then upgraded)

- Gigabyte Motherboard GA-965P-DS3 (Got kinda unlucky with this one cause of the design - computer  died after bios update but it was still on warranty so that got replaced. After had some issues with Dvd writing , that is couldn't use my graphics card and write on a cd or dvd. It would just crash. Overall now it seems to be fine after a couple of patches of bios updates:P (It was scary updating it 2nd time - thought it would die ).

- GT 430 1Gb video card  (Originally was a WinFast GT 7600 256Mb and i gota says that was one of the best cards i replaced it with the GT430 in 2011. The Gt7600 could run Cod4 and Cod 5 and Borderlands with no problems. I even played Metro 2033 although i couldn't use pipe bombs close to me or the game would crash. It was a driver issue cause it didn't support something. 

- HDD 360 Gb (don' know the model cause never had trouble with it big_smile)

- Lg 21" Monitor + 6.1 Creative Speaker Surround  + HD 720P 8Mp Logitech Webcam (got that last year ) and a headset.

This comp was bought in 2006 since the old laptop didn't have enough power for the new games and programs.

3rd Computer is a Samsung Laptop N (something):

- 10" Display with led back light.

- 160Gb HDD

- Intel Single Core 1.6Ghz processor.

- Intel HD Integrated graphics card.

We bought this laptop cause after my parents had a business / work  proposition to work abroad we moved to an island called Malta cause it was tiring to fly every 3 months back and forth to work and home. So in this country electricity costs are way higher than Russia and running a 500W Pc every night for downloading was and is just to expensive. So after buying this laptop our electricity bills got much lower big_smile Also we were lucky to buy the first i think version of this laptop (300 euros in russia) cause it has a nice red and black lookto it with the cool shiny material. The reason is my friend bought himself after the same laptop but a version or two later which has this crappy material and not so nice look . It is more like somebody chopped plastic with an axe. Also the power usage is only 25 to 40 W max big_smile

Last /Recent Computer Alienware M11xr3

- Intel Dual Core i7 2617M 1.5GHz up to 2.6GHz

- GT 540M 2GB Ram

- 6GB DDR3 Ram

- HDD 500GB (Planning on upgrading to a Seagate 750GB HDD/SSD Hybrid )

- 11" LED Display + Bluetooth 3.0 + 2 USB 3.0 Ports + Other Awesome Stuff like 5.1 sound output ,    keyboard changing colours big_smile

So ye this awesome laptop we bought last year after my father sold his old but rarely used car in russia  we decided to buy a good laptop for gaming and stuff. big_smile  So yep thats it for now.

Future wishes? Want to buy Areax51 Alienware Pc big_smile Not only Power consumption friendly (350W Max) but Powerful.   

Maybe will post pics later. This took quiet some time and pain to write already tongue

The first computer i ever got was a dell desktop, i know it was a .512 gb ram, 320gb hard drive, intel processor. This computer sucked so i gave it to my parents like 5 years ago.

After that, i bought a Compaq prasio(i think) Laptop, for 300$, it originally had 1 gb ram (upgraded to 2) 120gb hard drive, single-core Intel processor. It sucked but i used it for like 3 years.

After that, my sisters went to college and bought macbook pros, so i got my sisters old Sony vaio. I wiped the memory to original factory condition, and used that till very soon. It had 4 GB ram, 120 GB hard drive, single-core processor. Not long ago i got really angry at it for having lag, so i..... hit like 6 times(really hard). After that, the hard drive stopped spinning(i wonder why :))))))) )

A week ago i bought a acer computer, 6 GB ram, 2 TB hard drive i3 dual-core 3.3 GHz so 6.6 GHz. I am going to upgrade the processor the ram and the graphics card. I bought it for steal at Costco, i had extra money to put in to it. works great right now.

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 , Microsoft office 2010, Norton security.

The picture i am trying to post i took with my cell phone, so it sucks. but i don't really have a camera at my disposal.
