Your Rigg

[BiG ToE-3DT]

So, I'm getting ready to upgrade my computer and was thinking, what is everyone else working with?

Post a picture of your computer, maybe even toss out a few specs. Then maybe we can cut down on the, what should I get in my next computer threads. All the info they need will be in here. That includes me.

Thanks again Poopipe

As soon as my parts get here, and I get it together, I'll show my before and after images.

Check out my riggs

[Perversonality]

Oh, and no one wants to see your parts...

[Kage]

I'm only running on a lonely Q6600 quad, with 8GB's of RAM, a 8800GTS 640, 1TB HD with Windows 7 Professional.
Oh and the monitor is a Samsung 20 inch 16:10 SyncMaster 206BW (Max res of 1680x1050)

I don't build for 3D anymore. My latest rig is built for multi-tasking/programming. I use a AMD 1090t processor, 8GB of RAM (which I STILL haven't boosted to 16 as intended at build time), 2TB hard drive and Nvidia GT 460. It gives me good balance and is/was affordable.

Far from a great config but it was about time I replaced my 7 year old box!

I'm pretty satisfied with mine:

I7-980 @ 2,7 GHz. If I'm doing something intense, I can easily clock it to 3.8 GHz

12 Gb 1333 mhz Ram

One 300 Gb and one 500 Gb harddrives.

GTX 580 1,5 GB GPU

and two 1680x1050 monitors.

Seeing as, this'll do me pretty well for the next year or even two, next item on my list is a 24" Cintiq, since they cost about half as much in Denmark, where I live now, than back in Iceland.

The best upgrade i have made in the last five years is the ssd disc. All programs run faster. Start up, normal operations, everything.
It's worth the money.

[Freespace-3DT]

My best one is:

Intel I7-2600K @ 3.40 GHz (8 CPUs)
16 GB RAM
GeForce 580 GTX
80 GB SSD for Windows 7, software and current project (the speed of an SSD is ridiculous)
2x2 TB HDD @7200 RPM
+ a bunch of additional coolers

I do not overclock, ever.
I bought this in July 2011, and my next purchase will have 32 GB Ram (because 16 is just not enough for After Effects and FumeFX) and will be whatever the top Intel processor will be at that time.

[poopipe]

cant be bothered with pics

my workstations are as follows

dell t5400 quad xeon 2.3 or 2.5 or something ghz
8 gb quad channel
560ti
a couple of hard drives

and

mac pro dual dualcore xeon 3.0 ghz
8gb
1tb of hard disks
gtx 260 192core (it's had several quadros and a 280 in it over the years)

both pretty decent machines - the mac is oooold but still pretty powerful i mainly use it for running video editing stuff which I refuse to put on my main box cos creative suite is a complete twat.


i have several other machines but they're not for working on

[Aemeath]

I got myself a new machine in August last year and so far it is fun working with it!

BitFenix Shinobi Midi-Tower black
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3-iSSD (20gb SSD on-board)
16GB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 1600 MHz
Intel Core i7-2600K
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti OC, 1024MB
2 x Samsung HD103SI 1TB SATA II EcoGreen, 32MB
Windows 7 Professional

A real ssd hard drive would be nice but back then my budget was kind of fully taken already.

I should have listened to Poopipe, I just picked up a GTX550 ti about a month ago, so, didn't want ti to go to waste. Went and got another one. Now, the drivers dont seem to be working. Black screen everytime I install them.

old setup was:
a quad core intel I guess it was 3.2 ghz
6 gigs of ram
two 500 gig internal hard drives, (1) 500 gig and (1) 1 tb externals
gtx 550 ti gpu

new:
asus sabertooth mother board (loving it)
i7 3.5
16 gig of ram
(3) 500 gig SATA internal hard drives
and get this, I went to best buy looking for a ssd, found a 500 gig ssd drive for 130 dollars. I asked the guy if that was a mistake, he said, not his problem.
(1) 500 gig SSD hard drive
(2) GTX 550 ti (no working drivers)

Holy crap! And at that ridiculous price. Wow.

I don't understand why you chose the 550 TI, however. Just go with a GTX 580 or 560 if money is tight.

[Kage]

I think mine is the worst here, though mine is now getting on a bit. I can't even remember when I built it, it was that long ago.
