Post your PC

[Ian]

It's been a while since we last had a thread where we can share images of our current PC rigs, so at the request of PSD99 we've got a new thread to show them off (I'll sticky the thread for a while to get things going).

You can attach images to posts by clicking the "manage attachments" button in the new reply view

This is my Number 2 rig at the moment as my main PC is awaiting its new case. Still a little cabling to be done as i only moved it into the living room this morning.

 

[Frodo]

Nice machines guys,mines still in it's original E-machines case but it's about the only thing that hasn't been upgraded so it's an ok rig but looks pants.

 

[psd99]

Waynos I like your setup
but feel a little offended

is that a MAXTOR drive there?

do yourself a favour throw it in the bin
that's where Maxtor drives belong

 

[Adywebb]

I think some of you may have seen these before.....its what I had set up at my old house before I moved a few weeks ago - all bar one are still sitting in their boxes in the garage at the moment waiting until I get my new computer room sorted here

First pic shows my main eight quad machines connected via an 8-port KVM switch to a 24" DGM monitor and logitech wireless keyboard/mouse - note the purpose built printer stand

Second pic shows the dual-quad Supermicro server on the floor to the right of the table leg, along with another quad machine on the left - both have their own mini-keyboards and monitors - note the much needed aircon unit as well!!!

Third pic shows the final quad machine which I upgraded from an old 247Cube PC (formerly Computerelectronics.co.uk).

All are connected to the net via a Speedtouch Router, along with a Netgear 8-port switch, and all built by me.

I'm afraid that's all I have to show at the moment

Thanks mate, erm yeah all 3 of HDD are Maxtor or Maxtor/Seagate now that they have merged.

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed, never had a problem, see what you've made me do now.

If i throw it in the bin you gonna give me £100 for new hard drives???

 

[psd99]

no but I might give you a TENNER for the bin

 

[floppybootstomp]

psd99 - although I favour Samsung and Raptor drives, Maxtor is the only manufacturer who I haven't suffered a faulty drive from. Sometimes you really do talk a load of old cobblers mate

 

[Waynos_Face]

Woo hoo cheers Flopps, nothing wrong with Samsung F1 Spinpoint am waiting for the price to drop a little so i can get another TB.

The bottom HDD in the picture is a 40GB IDE that my brother gave me, i only use it for keeping music on, its nearly 6 years old but it still works.

All are nice and quiet as well.

 

[Madxgraphics]

Addyweb that is sure some setup up you have going there..And I thought I was bad with all the laptops I have connected up..Although mine is usually laptops that I am repairing...

Each to their own Flopps.

I've had Maxtor and Fujitsu drives fail me in the past.

As it happens today a Maxtor hard drive was failing at work.

That's why I decided to post on here Peice of **** wouldn't let the server boot up into it's RAID configuration somehow messing around with the BIOS and Bootsector. Nowt to do with the BIOS settings.

I got the drive and threw it in the bin where it belongs.

 

[psd99]

Oh don't get me started on the NOISE they generate!

Gosh it's worse than a screaming wife!
