My gaming rig

[GEN3RATD]

So been quiet on the forums, havent been doing much with cars lately, anyway this is my newly purchased rig

Needed something with hectic gaming potential but also needed to be fairly portable, as you can see i have f**k all room to myself at work. Cue this:



Alienware M18x

CPU: Intel i7-3610qm @3.3GHz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 660m
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
Storage: 1x Kingston 128GB SSD, 1x Seagate 500GB HDD

This satisfied me for about 2 hours, now its:

CPU: Intel i7-3920xm @ 3.9 GHz, OC'ed @ 4.2 GHz, Triple Pipe Heat Sink
GPU: AMD Radeon 7970m, AMD 100W Heat Sink
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
Storage: 1x Kingston 128GB SSD, 2x Corsair Force GS 240GB SSD in RAID0

Also in the pic is my 3TB Seagate external, Astro A50's, Cyborg RAT9 mouse and mousemat, and the rig is propped up on a Coolermaster U3 with the fans over the CPU, GPU and SSD's.

solid work.
desktop gamer here but can appricate such a small compact powerhouse.

what game(s) are you playin atm?

 

[GEN3RATD]

Crysis 3 and ****...

"small" and "compact" are definately not two words id just to describe this thing, if you are used to a macbook air this would probably confused the **** out of you lol

but yeah i was going to get a desktop but as you can see ive got hardly any room, plus i move every 6 months and i cant exactly take a desktop to sea with me soooooooo didnt really have a choice, no doubt this has more raw power then some gaming PC's though...

a mate had an m17x that he took to and from the polytechnic (TAFE). was a bloody big laptop.
got any pics of the parts swap? or is it just a whole different laptop?

 

[GEN3RATD]

The M18x is heaps bigger...

No pics, but I got all the parts off eBay

Also have a custom built watercooled rig coming my way next weekend, wont get hardly as much use as this bad boy due to the reasons above but itll give me something else to waste money on.

I have a Ps3 set up with steering wheel and seat out of a VH commodore. Play game on 42 inch plasma. Awesome.

happy snap of all my fresh kit!

Not bad, how does it go on Crysis 3?
Not a fan of laptops due to the price for what you get, prefer a small but powerful desktop

 

[GEN3RATD]

yeah slays it

i also prefer being able to game when i go to sea for work, if you would set up a small but powerful desktop on a ship more power to you
