Posted November 2, 2009 Is that the bottom of my sig that I see poking out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 Nice. Similar to a chair I bought around a month ago. Sooo comfortable. Can fall asleep in it. What do you use for PC for then, serious gaming? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 I really dont know yet >.> I was sick of getting PC's for £200-300 and them lasting a year or less so i thought id treat myself to one that was decent Im just trying to push it a bit at the moment, running football manager 2010 with a full database and 50 odd leagues loaded.... processor not getting above 15% usage with that, the web up and music on. Bought a new game today, Empire Total War to have a go at which should be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 How much did the PC cost you if you don't mind me asking? Also what's the monitor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 Well i had to buy the BR drive but with that it was about £1100. Monitor was £210 i think but its awesome :P Its a packard bell 1080p monitor, the only let down with it is there is no HDMI ports >.> It has a touch menu down the side and really is massive ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 I wanna see the chair! Also, this forum looks rubbish on big screens... Not if you put it on the "stretchable" theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 Not if you put it on the "stretchable" theme. How does one do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 How does one do this? Scroll down to the bottom. In the bottom left corner there's a little drop down menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 I have that chair. Whatever you do don't let people pull back on it while your in it. Not only will it make you feel like your going to fall backwards it will piss you off. And with enough force they will break it. (Thanks a lot uncle Ren) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2009 Not if you put it on the "stretchable" theme. I was only kidding. I have nothing but love for this place and the default skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 3, 2009 Looks like a nice machine Much envy here for Corei7! another 6GB of DDR3 in ther More RAM? What on earth are you planning on doing with this thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 3, 2009 Why would you need more than 6GB DDR3? It suits me fine... doing all manner of designs, gaming, HD video etc... at the same time! (Well okay not really at the same time, but I could!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 3, 2009 Going to start editing some HD footage from my HD cam, while listening to music, playing 4 CPU intensive games and browsing 300 web pages.... at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2009 Also, this forum looks rubbish on big screens... Use a proper theme (that is to say, the old school black and purple Cube Europe one) and it stretches horizontally to fill the entire screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 18, 2009 Been using this for a while now, it seems to swallow anything i throw at it! If anyone is upgrading soon i highly recommend the I7 processors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2009 Been using this for a while now, it seems to swallow anything i throw at it! If anyone is upgrading soon i highly recommend the I7 processors. i7 Needs to come down in price though. They're the best, but boy do they come at a premium. Interestingly, they apparently are bottlenecking Dual ATi5970's(which is actually 4 GPUs). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2009 The best thing about your setup though... definitely the salt and vinegar chipsticks! You absolute genius! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2009 Still need to install that Blu Ray drive though >.> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
