Err, a silver one with black keys and a white apple thingy on the lid.

The nice young chap in the shop said it had thunderpants ports which were very, very quick and a gag safe attachment which got the missus interested.



Serious:

15" MBP Retina
2.6 GHz (3720QM) i7
Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1GB
756GB SSD
16 GB ram


And a really tacky Iron Man sticker on the lid.

Core i7 2600K at 4.5GHz
16GB RAM
OS Drive: 128GB SSD
around 4TB of storage
1x 24inch HP IPS LP2475W screen and a rather average 22" LG
2x HD5850 1GB video cards in XFire

I'm about ready to upgrade the video cards because driving two to get the performance of one medium-high level card is silly but it pushes anything at max settings at the moment.

Here's a photo of the setup

You cant see the lights themselves when the side panel is on, and the liquid is getting drawn from the bottom of the reservoir - miles away from any bubbles. I like water cooling because of the (admittedly small nowadays) challenge it presents, but mainly for the look of it. My CPU is on 4.6Ghz permanently, and it only tops out at a whopping 62-64c at max chat. I never bother to water cool my GPU's though, the cost of the water blocks for those is out of my price range.

You hit 64C? Sounds a little high, I only hit 54C at 4.8GHz. Hits 84 at 5.0Ghz though which prompted me to dial it down. Might want to dial down Vcore - just a thought, maybe I've just been lucky with mine unlike the last one which I fried.

Re. GPUs, water blocks are stupidly priced, however in hind sight, putting a pair of Aquagrafx blocks on my 480s has stopped me buying anything since. I recently contemplated a pair of WC 690s but given there isn't anything that the OC'd 480s can't handle, I just couldn't justify it. I figured I'd wait for the Kepler refresh this year and get a pair of 790s or maybe Maxwell in 2014. Point being the GPU blocks are pricey but they just stopped me from spending £2k on something I don't need.

As you had just built this, I thought I would look up the Mobo.

It 'only' takes a maximum of 32GB of RAM...

It made me think of a time when 640KB was "enough" and when 32GB was a Large HDD.

My, how times have changed...

I really hope to see a Mac version launched just after the PC one.

My game system will be:

Mac Pro dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz
32 GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 5870
Apple LED Cinema Display 27"
A lot of HDD space on a RAID 5 with 15.000 RPM drives ;)

I really hope that cuts it and is still working next year because I don't think I can afford another one...
Fingers crossed...

Samsung Chronos 7 laptop: Intel i7 2.2 Ghz, 8 GB RAM, Radeon HD 6750M. It will be 18 months old by the time the game is released - hope it won't be obsolete by then. :)
