Your Favorite Part?

[melarcky]

i was wondering when you made your PC's or bought them.. what was your favorite peace of Hardware on it.. ? this includes older PC's
personaly i love my CPU... it does everything i want and perfectly.
i also loved my old Gf Mx440 a card made to be crappy but still played CS:S/COD2

 

[Avalanche]

I like and Recommend every part I have. My goal now is to like more newer parts...

 

[locky28]

My gainward 6800gt golden sample that came overclocked to ultra speeds

i loved the bright red lLED's on the two 7cm fans on it but i stilll cant understand why the excessivly loud noise appealed to me back then :?

oh well, vf-900 cu comin next week but ill miss that chunky HSF

 

[raytracer06]

there are two (old) parts i really like in my comps :

1) my good old geforce4 TI4200... it is 5 years old, but still performs quite well... it was the best perf/price ratio of its time I think. of course, it is now outdated, and i'll soon replace it. but the first game i found really too hard for it was FEAR... almost everything else still runs : doom3, HOMMV, UT2004, far cry... i used to hope my next card will be able to last as long as this one, but after i've seen screenshots of UT2007 or Crysis...

2) my 80GB Seagate Barracuda ATA V(that recently died). it was not the fastest disk ever, that's sure, but it is the most silent i ever had. the first time i installed it into my case, i wondered if it was really working, then i saw the activity led was on... i had to buy several HDs recently, but i didn't find anything as quiet as this drive. my current diamondmax10 is horrible compared to this one

I like my GeForce 7800. I took the HSF off so I could get a better look at it. It also lights up with XFX shining in bright green on the top hehe. When I received my AMD 64 it was like finding a gold nugget, but now there is Core 2 Duo... Still, it does perform quite well and I have been very pleased with it's performance. The only thing I dislike about my computer is the inability of the CPU to cope with CPU intensive multitasking. I will probably soon upgrade to a cheap dual core AMD soon.

All i like all my parts because i pick good ones, but my fav was DFI lan party ultra-d cause its so overclockable and the bios has every option u can ever want

 

[toasty2]

I love my AGP Nvidia Geforce FX 5700 Ultra
Still works great. I play HL2, CS:S, all sorts of games. Average of 45fps in CS:S and my specs right now are:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ Palomino (1.66Ghz)
2x 256MB (512MB total) ram
Nvidia Geforce FX 5700 Ultra

Still works, I think I'll work this PC til it's death

melarcky: Please post a CPUz screenshot of your CPU, as I still find it hard to beleive that you have a 3200+ Venice core. Thanks in advance

My favorite part in truthe is the whole computer.Although I personally build all my systems,I still can't find a single item that i like the most.My processor is an athlon x2 4400+Toledo.but my vga is a 7800gt times 2.I like my WD300GIG HD,but I also like my ace 520watt psu.And to be honest I like my EVGA MB.It has the same chipset as the DFI LAN PARTY BOARD.So the overclocking factor is quite good.But alas,I only have cheap samsung ram,so my overclocks are mediocre at best.So there you have it.My favorite is the whole thing.

I love my e6400 - asus p5b - corsair ddr2 6400 COMBO, overclockes like crazy on air and is very stable. 8) :lol:

[chuckshissle]

My water cooling system.

FORGOT TO ADD:

Love my TT Armor case... big as hell, you can get lost in there LOL

 

[melarcky]

sure i will do it with pleasure just you have to tell me HOW to post it and i will cus i dont know.. and how tomake the screenshots

 

[stepside]

[/code]I know, I know, I've never posted in the forums before.
But I've been reading them almost every day from 1997
until present.

Anyway, my favorite piece of hardware was my Athlon XP 2200+ and my Radeon 8500 LE that I Flashed to a 9100 OC'd to 300 Core & 600 Mem.

My current favorite hardware would have to be my 3000+ venice OC'd to 2.2Ghz, and my 9800 PRO 128MB modded to XT and OC'd to 445Mhz Core, 750 Mhz Mem. I love to play Need For Speed on it.

 

[slicessoul]

Well, you must love all the hardwares dude.
Returning to the past, i love my Aopen mobo with its 440BX chipset. It was the best chipset i ever had in that time. A powercolor VGA card (i forget what's the series), Pentium III 550MHz, 64 MB CAS 2 memory, 18 GB HDD 5400 RPM, Creative SoundBlaster Live soundcard and a 14Kg casing which you need a hammer just to bend it.

Now, i'm sticking and love on 865PE, P4D 3GHz, 1 GB Ram, 320GB 7200 RPM HDD, Audigy2ZS, 7800GS and a bended case just because i was wrong to put my hand when i installed the mobo, it's a cheap case though. Its weight doesn't even untill 9 Kg.

"Have to love it"

 

[chunkymonster]

The motherboard...I always get the most enjoyment from researching and buying the motherboard...currently, the mobo in my main machine is a Supermicro H8DCE...very stable...

A close 2nd is the video card...which is currently an EVGA 7900GT running at 520/1590...

My monitor. It's an NEC MultiSync FE700+. I bought it new in 2001, and it was one of the best on the market. It's the only piece that survives all my builds. 17" CRT. Soon be time for a 19", but not looking forward to LCD.

Runner-up: My speakers. Logitech Z2200's. Awesome 2.1 system.

 

[duthoy]

yeah, the geforce 4 rulez
i was also a happy user of a TI4200 with a huge heatsink on both sides (leadtek).
i've kicked it from my system because it became noisy over time,
now i have a geforce 4 ti 4600 with a big zalman cooler, no noise, great performance (especially the dual screen from nvidia, that really rocks for playing videos from HD to TV)

and the great design of geforce4 resulted in a very big and long card, looks impressive in your case,

but my all time favorite is my CPU cooler!
perfect for modding, currently a zalman CNPS9500 LED looks cool in my acryl casing!!

 

[duthoy]

i also enjoyed playing around with my fathers IBM PS2, for the n00bs , i'm not referencing to a playstation, but the 386 computer from IBM.
i almost killed my old men, when he has thrown it away, when i wasn't there.
it was fun to play things like "stunts" "civilization 1",...
sorry i know it's not a peace of hardware, but you can have a great deal of fun with it.

oh, to make this clear, it's not because i'm sometimes nostalgic about my dad's first computer that i started that horrible thread about "very old computer working again", i've got nothing to do with it, and never posted that one, to keep it alive!!

 

[slicessoul]

Monitor is include ?
This is the parts that i really love. If you don't love this parts, you are a *$%^#^%+=.
Why you always have to staring at the monitor if you don't love the monitor ?
It's sexy shining candy colours just make you hmmmm...

So melarcky, you got your answer. Monitor is the lovely parts of your PC. Everybody love it.

 

[miffy]

My first ever Chip, a 1.9 P4... I forget the core name but it's the one with the 400FSB.

My favourite chip ever was my 2000+ T'bred that I overclocked to 2ghz, that was amazingly fast for the time.... it's still going strong although at stock speeds in my server.....which I'm on RDP to now,

and my Radeon 9500pro I bought it 2 weeks after it came out then later, flashed the bios and overclocked, that's still in my G/F pc happily playing Wow & Guildwars with my first ever CPU....good times.
