I have to agree with Scuzzy here. We don't mind you showing us your computers, but we do not premit advertising stuff for sale.

My only question is about your second computer. (Normal Rig)
You say you have 10k RPM case fans. That seems a little high. If they are running at that, which is possible, it is likely very loud.

If you are here to talk about your computers, we invite you to stay. If you are trying to sell these machines, try www.ebay.com. Thank you.

You are showing that two of them are for sale, which we do not allow, which is why I edited your message to remove the "for sale" text.

Since you indicate you travel, I assume you take your main machine to LAN parties. I looked at building a similar machine, but ended up going with an AMD64 build instead. My 2 Gigs of RAM are for Photoshop CS and digital photography. What is your main use for 2 gigs of RAM?

Mark H
Enjoy the nature that is around you rather than destroying it.

I plan on getting a gig on my next system, primarily for games, photshop 7 and premier 6.5. The digicamera I ordered has great video features, so I will use them often, and premier them up. I think a Gig would be enough. Two gigs only if you want to do all three at the same time or deal with large files or really high resolutions.

the two gigs of ram are for photoshop cs and adobe premiere and some audioediting when i get into that stuff, plus i game a shitload. i understand why you edited the post, it doesn't really bother me as i'm a noob to your forum and it's rules.

You have astericks in your last poast because of language that our software filters. Try to keep it clean.

I use 2 gigs for Photoshop CS, because I will work with large scans of film from a film scanner and plan to get a Nikon DSLR one day that has huge amounts of resolution and pixels once prices come down and technology picks up. Right now, the antialiasing filters are not good enough for patterns on the DSLRs in my opinion, so I will stick with my two film bodies (Nikon F100 and Nikon F5).
