So after joining this site i have been playing around with computers alot. this is my history with High end computers from the first to my most current.
 
Please feel free to put up yours. i would love to see them.
 
First system, Zalan nvidia fan, AMD 4600+ Asus M2N-SLI-Deluxe-570i XFX 7600GT in SLI BGF Ageia PhysX card, 2gb DDR2 800 XMS corsair, hitachi sata HDD + a butt load of cooling.

Next system came 3  years later
same system just added 6gbs of memory and a ASUS GTX260TOP

the last system lasted all of about 6 months.
next system was my most current set up
EVGA 3-way SLI, Evga GTX295 in quad SLI 6gb of DDR3 1600 OCZ memory a raptor drive from WD and two seagate drives + water cooling.
first time OCing using a i7 920 (4.2ghz-4.5ghz)

from there i added another radiator to the loop and removed the physx card.

also added another 6gb of ram putting the system at 12gb
i then made the jump over to a HAF case.
when i got the thing i couldnt stand the silver on the inside so i did my first ever paint job. came out nice.



after the haf case i made my own. i went with a plexiglass tech bench.
 (build log  http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=49191 )

 
from here i made some hardware updates. i updated from a i7 920 to a i7 975Ee and a 4way sli motherboard.
 



that set up lasted me all of about 4 days because my cats like to lay on it.
so i moved it back to the haf. its ok but when i have the money its going into a moutianmods case.
this system is waiting on new pumps. cpu will have its own loop and so will the motherboard the two pumps will sit side by side were the old pump is now.
here are the pumps im getting

 
so far this is what i have done with computer.
i have had windows xp-vista-w7
i do not have pictures of my old and first systems i modded. (first a dell with a voodooo&ati rage 128 pro then a compaq with a ti4800OC)
so im going to be poor for awhile so i used some scraps to finish my rig.
  
 
 

i dont know whether to punch you in the face or to hug you

well dont punch me in the face and i dont want a hug.
any one want to post there stuff?

then i might as well congratulate you for having an awesome setup!

I would post mine, been really wanting to for some time now, but sadly i can't find my "Before" pictures except whats on my mod rigs and my internet is being STUPID and won't let me upload?

i like the first one.
and what is bob home...

Hehe...Bob.  It was MS's attempt to dumb down computing (even further).  Let's just say it was...umm...what's the term...?  Epic fail?

Do a google search on it.   It was, actually, quite funny way back when.

to many to list/show here but here are a few


asus m2ne-sli amd X2 6000+ black edition


current rig, see sig

I have had soooooo many computers over the years starting in the late 70's including my beloved comadore 64 (which i still have) atari's, a tandy, a altair, IBM pcjr, apple 11E, compaq, HP, Gateway 2000, no name 386 and 486's etc etc........... damn to have some of the money I have spent over the years on this addiction

Thank you!

I sold the first one to someone on this forum.

The second one is my current one.

The third one I gave to a friend.

Fought and fifth (same computer), I parted out and took the guts out to make the first one.

Sixth is my trusty laptop  -- it isn't as harmless as it looks even though it is old.

Seventh is a computer I built for a friend.

Eighth is the trusty Dimension 3000 which I sold on craigslist for $75.
 
 
I wish I had pictures of my first and second computers.  Oh well.  They were piles of junk, but still it would be cool for memory sake.
The second computer I owned has a AMD K6 II (that's how old it was), and I overclocked it to a whopping 450MHz.!

tyger: in the 2nd picture is that computer with the v8 using three 285s?

It's deceiving, but that computer is actually the most exotic.
 
It has a 9800GT video card in it with 128 stream processors instead of the standard 112 stream processors.  And the factory core clock is 725MHz with a 1750MHz shader clock. 
 
I wish a bought a few of them when they were available so that I could kill the 9800GT highest Vantage scores.  760MHz core clock overclock was no problem at default voltage.  I wonder what the sucker could have done with some more voltage.

This is all I have left of one of my first builds:



Here's a few others:

Ah, there we go.  That looks more like my first computer.
 
The math processor is missing?
 
I had a ISA add-in card in mine to increase system memory by 16MB.

LOL.  I tried a little experiment that failed miserably...
