I've just taken mine apart as we're moving next week. My latest addition is a massive interactive smart board for my son to use. I pulled it out of a skip at the school next door which is closing down, nothing wrong with it at all, just needed cleaning. I think the workers thought it was just a white board.

Cross firing or SLI Is mighty expensive. But fair play for doing it. My pc is running a corsair CPU water cooler. Just the way forward now with cooling IMO. Inftact building your own pc nowadays is easy and way cheaper than from a shop. You just don't get a good warranty really. I built my own though.

Not running SLI though, buying one graphics card was enough :A:

built mine 4 years ago when i was into computers and shit, in that time all it's had is some ram and a new gpu, not played a game on it in well over a year now and it's full of tea stains on top and dust.

started to get bored of having the latest and greatest for a week, and then it being "old"

rather spend my money on my car, which has many great uses, rather than squeezing a few extra FPS out of BF3 in order to be 1337

how old are you ?:homme:
Old enough blud! :P
Why do students think its cool to nick road signs and stuff. When I shared a house the front room was littered with beer trophys, usually traffic cones and men at work signs.

I know what you mean, we had loads of useless crap signs. We got rid of the crap and just kept bollard because it's useful and actually looks quite good when lit up.
