Due to issues with my old CUBX machine I've decided to build myself a P4 based Windows XP gaming machine to replace it.
Specs:
Intel Pentium 4 3.4ghz (Northwood)
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
3GB DDR400
Geforce 3 TI500 64MB
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Thermaltake CPU Cooler
160GB WD Black Series 2.5" SATA HD
Rosewill Power Supply
I'm currently waiting for a Geforce FX5900XT 128mb card to come in from ebay. I recently obtained (for free!) an arctic cooler brand cooler that is meant specifically for FX5900XT cards, so it should be interesting to put that together when it shows up. This is the cooler - http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/article/287 … ng-the-FX5900XT
Currently I have the CPU slightly overclocked and running at 3.55ghz. (Back to stock clockspeed, wouldn't run Prime95 for any decent length of time overclocked)
Benchmarks @ 3.4ghz:
3dmark2000 - 11338
3dmark2001 - 10297
3dmark2003 - 1559
Quake 3 (1920x1080, max detail) - 105.3fps
I'll post some pics tonight after work, overall I'm quite happy with it. Feels noticeably quicker than the Tualatin it's replaced.
EDIT - Updated and fixed some info.
