For the cash you're spending, get better sound. Get a home 5.1 hi-fi system and spend some money on sound-proofing.
Also, PIPE-DREAM.

The price of that is about £2,400.
I used an online configurator thing and thats what i got.
Just for fun! LOLZ!!

FVCK YOU.
And here I was gonna ask for pics when you finally build it.
BTW, I spotted an actual flaw with your build: The PSU is seriously underpowered. You are running a pair of 6970s, and I'm afraid 650W might not cut it.

And to think, I just rebuilt my desktop for 300.00....
amd quad core from 2009 (955 maybe???)
4gb of RAM (8xx speed)
some motherboard off of newegg that had plenty of sata and ide connections and built in graphics (don't really play any hard core games on my computer)
couple of dvd burners/drives
case and powersupply on sale at newegg (alienware copycat)
lots of fans
Really, this desktop is the workhorse for burning disks and keeping my movie collection.
Just added a 1tb hard drive (on top of the 160gb I had left over).

Crysis 2 with the dx11 patch is very demanding I get 30-35fps on ultra, but it looks soooo good that I can't lower the graphics to get smooth gameplay even in multiplayer

for gaming, it just needs a new graphic card.

Thanks! I've been considering a new graphics card, mainly for more outputs not for gaming, that way I can eliminate my USB to DVI adapter, not sure I want to drop the money though.
Here's my gaming rig (oddly enough, the only gaming I do on it is minimal CS1.6):

Why 460? 465 is better . I got mine today, but got the blue PCB one so I requested an RMA so I can get a black PCB and make it a 470

What? no! the gtx 460 beats the 465 in pretty much every benchmark out there, plus it's runs cool and consumes less power.

Computer Hardware

So most of here are geeks in the good scene of the word. We all have our mobile devices that we love and hack and tweak and mod. 98% of the time, to do what we need to do to our mobile devices, we rely on our PC. I'd be willing to bet that allot of you also have a strong attachment to your PC hardware as much as your mobile. Weather its for development, gaming, testing, surfing, working, pr0n? Use this thread to post specs and/or pics and show off all the hardware that sits between you and your modded mobile device.

LG DVD +/-RW DL
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
40" 1080P (1920x1080) HDTV (use for tv and as display)
I use this for everything. Dev, Gaming, School, Work. You'll find visual studio and Borland Delphi 7 along with the likes of MW3 and BF3. I also burn many a DVD and do most of my phone tasks here.
Mobile PCs
See attachment
Top Left, Clockwise -=> Dell Precision M6300, Dell Precision M90, Toshiba A215, HP TouchPad, Acer 5670
All configured similarly, less the Touchpad. Minor variance in CPU from 1.86GHz Core Duo to 2.4GHz C2D. All 4GB DDR2, All Win7 Ultimate (M6300 64Bit). I actually use the Acer the most as its Power/Weight ratio is awesome. It will do post modern 3d gaming with its 256MB Ati x1600 dedicated GPU. But I mostly work in Visual Studio on this. It is nice to be able to take a break and pwn some no0bs in the face and have great framerates . I love my Toshiba as a communications laptop. Its integrated web cam is top notch. And my Dell Precision's, well they are just 17" powerhouses. Mostly used for Mobile Gaming or movie viewing on their awesome large 17 inch displays (1440x900 native).
I did a search and didn't find any like posts. If I just missed it, feel free to merge this with it. If not, I look forward to see what everyone else uses when their not on their phone!
I got an Asus K53SV-SX838V notebook which has some nice specifications. In fact I use my notebook more then my phone.
I do use my notebook for playing COD MW3 and movies and tv series and sometime I like to try other operating systems like Linux, but will do that most time in vmware or live usb.
It's specifications are:
CPU: Intel Core I7 - 2679QM, 2.2Ghz with turbo boost till 3.1Ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 540 + Intel HD 3000
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 128GB Crucial M4
Further it has an 1366x768 resolution and its 15.6 inch. Also it has one USB 3.0 port and an multitouch touchpad and HDMI and a VGA port and an standard webcam.
I'm very happy with it and it was an good deal, I bought it for € 587 excluding the SSD ofcourse at end of january , it came with an 640GB harddrive which is now my external harddrive.
I have a stock Toshiba Satellite for a laptop but my gaming rig is as follows
AMD Phenom II 1090T 6 Core
16GB Corsair Dominator GT
Crossfired 6970's
1.5 TB SATA HDD
128 GB Crucial M4 SSD
7.1 Audio
Nothing real special but it works for me.
Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition
8GB ram
few terabytes of hardrives
2X 8600 GTi in SLi
C2D 2.6 (I think)
Some dust in the case
On a 23" Acer
Runs Skyrim without the slightest lag on all highest settings
Also MAcbook for everyday work, also connected to the 23" and it's closed all the time with an external KB and mouse. lol.

How is the buldozer? not just for gaming but other any other cpu intensive work? Im looking at getting the AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz on newegg right now for 149.99 (it really is in my shopping cart lol), I'll hold off a few though as ive never actually been able to chat at someone who owns one. This quad i think is at an awesome price/performance ratio though.
My big main PC is the first one that I put together myself:
Intel i5-2500k (stock)
16GB G.Skill DDR3
2 overclocked XFX AMD 6970s
125GB Corsair SSD boot drive
1TB Samsung data/application drive
3.1 Sony soundbar home theater system
47" LG LCD TV.
I've still got my HP school laptop as a backup, but I haven't touched it in a looong time.
My computer sucks :-/ here I go:
AMD Sempron 140 @ 3.65GHz

SuperTalent 2GB (1 x 1 GB) DDR3 1600MHz
ATI Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3

4 x 2GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400
EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti FPB 1GB GDDR5
around 9TB of HDD space 1.5 installed rest hot swapped

I gave up on desktop, I replaced it with a Lenovo Y470p laptop. Its the first laptop I've purchased even though I built plenty of desktop in past. Never wanted get a one until they are small enough with a decent gpu and price.
This one isn't high end either, but with the AMD HD7690 which is 10% slower than a desktop HD5750/6750, its good enough to handle Skyrim in high settings. And since I only play mostly HalfLife2 mods, that's good enough for me. The laptop screen is abysmal, but I wasn't going to shell out an extra $500 to get an HP Envy 15 with the same hardware spec and any screen larger than 14".
Although I'm using it stationary as a desktop replacement connected to my 32" LCD. The main problem I'm having in term of gaming is the HDMI output signal lags by 30-40ms compared to the main screen. Add that to the 80ms in game lag (due to crappy ATT DSL) and the input lag of LCD itself, and the result is getting owned by wallhackers.
I will never get used to the keyboard and touchpad on the laptop so I'm still using my Logitech G5. I'm down on my last G5 since the other one goes choppy, I think I need to stock up more from ebay, I can't get used to any of Logitech new mice since they seem lower quality. I certainly won't be using any wireless mice or ones with glowing LED lights.
The only mod I did is to turn off the turbo boost for the Core i7 so the temperature doesn't shoot up to 90*C.

What's your Hackintosh hardware specs?

I'll go ahead and say this so it's clear. I'm not using a pirated copy of OS X. I have a Mac Mini that crapped out on me, and I don't really feel like spending money to fix it or buy another one, so I found a way to not let my authentic OS X Lion and license that I paid for go to waste.
So like the title says, if you've built one of these amazing machines, what hardware did you use? There is a good bit of hardware that works perfectly, and there is a lot that doesn't. Luckily I've found a perfect combination to run OS X flawlessly.
There is no need to go into the method in which you installed the OS. I'm just interested in how creative you guys are for the hardware aspect of it.
These are my specs:
Build name - HOLLOW-X
Case - APEVIA X-Dreamer 4 case with 7x120mm fans and 1x200mm fan (blue LED)
PSU - Rosewill HERCULES-1600 (1600 watt)

MOBO - ASUS P5Q (With modified BIOS for OS X to boot with AHCI configuration)
CPU - 2.66GHz Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 (clocked at 3.1GHz)
 (Reads as XEON on OS X)
CPU Cooler - Thermaltake Silent TMG i1
Memory - 16GB G.SKILL DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Graphics card - SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 5850 2GB GDDR5
Disk Drives:
Pioneer 16x Blu-Ray/DVD Writer
LG Blu-Ray ROM/16x DVD Writer
Hard Drives:
250GB 10,000RPM Western Digital Black Series VelociRaptor (Retail OS X 10.7.2 Lion)

1TB Western Digital Scorpio (Windows 7 Ultimate)
320GB Western Digital Caviar Blue from a WD My Book (Kali LINUX)
500GB 2.5" Western Digital Scorpio Series with ICY DOCK USB enclosure
 (Has a railed Caddy system to hot plug the entire enclosure, and other 3.5" SATA drives as well, into the computer case)
A lot of people that hear the specs say stuff like "That is a pretty awesome gaming rig"
What's funny is... I don't play a single game on any of my computers. Lol
Installer written using a MacBook Pro, no pirated distros (except for when I don't have access to a Mac, it's my old man's)
Well, really, it's supposed to be just a gaming rig, but everything accidentally matches up for Hackintosh except for networking
CPU: I7-4770k
Should've gone for the non-K variant, as I don't OC anyway and need VT-d support
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 SC
Very good Mavericks support, Yosemite needs webdrivers, which can be a bit laggy
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z87M-D3H
Again, should've gone for the bigger non-M variant, apparently got more free drives and SATA ports are filling up like crazy
Sound: Realtek ALC892
Used Toleda's SSDT injection and AppleHDA patch. Works perfectly (STAY AWAY FROM VOODOOHDA)
RAM: 4x2 Corsair Vengeance and 4x2 Kingston HyperX
Network: Belkin USB-N300
It uses Realtek RTL8192SU (Nope not a typo, SU not CU. Weird, eh? SU is NOT supposed to be a USB adapter, but it somehow is.) Downloaded drivers from Realtek's site, works perfectly. Needs additional Ethernet kext to enable appstore. Not a native AirPort card
Drives... [emoji57]
- A makes-Chameleon-slow WD Green 2TB AF
- Samsung 840 PRO SSD 512GB, cr4pping out, win8.1 and Gentoo
- Samsung 840 EVO SSD 256GB, no OSX ATM
- Seagate Barracuda 1TB
