The Making of My Sweet Sweet UUGM aka Gaming Rig

If you’re interested in knowing exactly what I put into my UUGM (Ultimate Ultimate Gaming Rig) than please step into my photo-essay explaining the construction and birth of my L33t Gaming Monsta! UUGM: It’s Life Story. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder why… you certainly won’t believe your eyes! I even surprised myself with some of the choices. But man, it’s a sweet sweet rig! Boo-ya! I’m a happy happy boy!

The funny thing is almost everything (the cables, mobo and p/supply cables) are UV reactive but I didn't put a UV light in the sucker. Hehe... it's on the floor. If it was on my desk BACKWARDS then maybe. Hehehe...

Vinnie,

Sweet gaming rig. Time to gut the old pc. Now one of these days I'll have to make a new pc aka UUGM. For right now, I have a smoking laptop pc (AMD Sempron 3000+ running at 1.8 Ghz using AMD standards, using Intel standards, a little over 900 Mhz). Darn thing, will have to get used to this laptop, but they don't have to be too fast, it's running Windows XP Home SP2 with online updates with Microsoft Works 8 pre-loaded

let me know how that 500 watt power supply works out i have ta get me one!

Bruce: the X-Connects are the best value heavy duty power supplies out there. They have the proper voltage settings PER rail (cable), are CONTINUOUS power supplies (ie can do the full rated load 100% of the time) and are what is referred to as true rated. Most cheapie p/supplies do not put out half their max voltage settings... these do. Combined with the rounded cables, the ability to only use the number of cables you need (cutting down on load and clutter) PLUS the fantastic prices after rebate (they have them all the time) you can't go wrong. Heck, look online at places like Tiger Direct and you can usually get them for $39, $59 with the same case I got AFTER rebates!! Can't go wrong there!

This guy wins best case ever...hands down. Sorry Vinnie. Even this guy beats the traffic cone.

I actually think that guy is a hack, the dude that built an entire case out of used toothpicks was a creative GENIUS!

But Vinnie your pc can run Doom 3 plus the expansion pack. It's a heavy-duty gaming rig. :D

Yes, yes it can! Currently I'm also having fun with a game that has the best elements of Diablo + other great features and can run on 700Mhz computers... details shortly! You'll all love it.
