In celebration of Craig's and Pavera's PC upgrade, and a few recent threads about computer specs, it's time for a Doomer's PC thread!

What kind of computers does a modern Doomer use? Does he know the parallel processing power of multi-cores? Has he evolved past Windows XP? There's just so much I want to know.

CPU, Mobo, RAM, Graphics Card, PSU, Hard drives, Case, any other things PC related, let's post them up! The more specs the better! Pictures if you got them! I love looking at other people's PC stuff!

My computer has some of the most state of the art technology in it. It has 4 Radeon HD 9850s, 2 8 GHZ quad core CPUs, a 9001 watt PSU, 18 GB of RAM, and an advanced cooling system that utilizes water, air, and electricity.

Here's some shots in case you don't believe me.

I can run Crysis, Metro 2033, and L4D2 with all the settings maxed out and still experience no drop in framerate whatsoever.

lol god damn it Craigs, you do not have four cards, the pictures don't even prove you right. I still have the list I built for your PC, fag.

Craig's PC Specs (not mine):

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
MOBO: ASUS M4A89TD PRO AM3
GRAPHICS CARDS: 2x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4850 1GB in Xfire
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM
HDD: HITACHI Deskstar 1TB 7200 RPM
DVD DRIVE: ASUS Black 24X DVD+R
PSU: Antec TPQ-850 Watts
CASE: Antec Nine-Hundred Two
OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

The specifications for my system are:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE
4GB DDR3 RAM
MSI 770-G45 motherboard
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
nVidia 9800 GTX+ (It's only there temporarily, waiting for my GTX 460 to arrive. Also it's a cool nVidia reference model I got when it was first released)
Some Corsair 600W PSU (I don't remember model names too well when it comes to power supplies)

Sadly I don't have pictures of it, but it's in a rather elegant CM 690 II case.

Amusingly, there was an option for me on the poll and all :p

CPU: 666 MHz Celeron (Copermine-128)
MOTHER: Soyo SY-7VBA 133
GRAPHICS: Pine 32 MB 3D Phantom (SiS 315E)
SOUND CARD: SoundBlaster 32 (AWE32 value)
RAM: A 256 MB (DIMM)
HDD: 20 GB primary, 6 GB secondary
DVD: Sony DVD writer (24x), Creative DVD reader (5x)
FLOPPY: One 3.5" drive
PSU: Something at 400 Watts, I think
CASE: (Some regular cream-colored one)
OS: Microsoft Windows 98 (1st Edition)
SOUND OUT: Simple speakers from the '90s
MONITOR: 17" AOC LCD
KEYBOARD: IBM Model-M
MOUSE: Genius two-button optical

I bought this thing in 2001, but it has some pieces that I had from before (Creative DVD, 6 GB disk, keyboard, speakers) and some are "newer" (GFX card, PSU, memory stick, DVD writer, sound card, mouse, monitor). My philosophy toward hardware is more or less "fix it when it's really broken" although I'll probably get some kind of netbook to use as well, sooner or later.

Almost... I chose the Pentium III option, as the Coppermine-128 Celeron is a cheaper variant of that.

The Intel losers "officially" called it 667 MHz, but any other speeds ending similarly are *66. They're evidently scared of good ol' uncle Lou...

I love sitting down with older computers sometimes, but I would go nuts with your PC as my primary.. even some netbooks would outperform it heh. I bet it plays Doom like a champ though. :P

I have several computers, but here's my desktop:

Mainboard :	Gigabyte EP45-DS3R
Chipset :	Intel P45
Processor :	Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3000MHz
Physical Memory :	4096MB (2 x 2048 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card :	ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Hard Disk :	Western Digital WD6400AAKS-65A7B0 ATA Device (640GB)
DVD-Rom Drive :	Toshiba-Samsung CDDVDW SH-S203N
Monitor Type :	VK246 - 24 inches
Network Card :	Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Network Card :	Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Network Card :	Ralink Technology RT2800 802.11n Wireless LAN Card
Operating System :	Windows 7 Home Premium Home Edition Media Center 6.01.7600 (64-bit)
DirectX :	Version 11.00
Windows Performance Index :	5.9 on 7.9
All of this in a nice Antec Sonata III case. This thing is fantastic and was cheap to build 2 years ago (though I've upgraded the graphics card from the Radeon HD 4850 I bought it with when it died out of warranty...always fill out your registration cards kids!) and will probably last me another 2-3 years.

Haha its alright for most games before Quake 4 then it just overloads and explodes if I try to do anything on ones rather new. Funny enough so many people have said there back-up computer or an older computer of theres was even better.

How does that make me spoiled? I like to play modern video games, if you don't care about them then I can see why you would be happy, nothing really wrong with that.. but in my eyes, it's a piece of crap.

It is.

That's pretty much my previous comp, just the reason why I bought a new one last year.

My p133 sees more use than that pile of junk, now that I've bought a GUS for it.

I haven't used my PC in some time (memory stick went bad), but I built it almost half a decade ago for about $400. Actually it's been so long, I can barely remember what's in it...

CPU: 2 GHz Core 2 Duo
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
Sound: SB Live!
Video: Radeon 9200
HDD: 80 GB, 40 GB, 10 GB
OS:Windows 2000 SP3, Windows 98SE

My laptop is a Dell Latitude with similar specs. Strangely enough this laptop runs Doom 3 slightly better than my PC. :(

Ah, but what's it matter. All the games I regularly play would run on a slide rule.
