Beast has gotten a couple updates lately, but it’s mostly still the same system I built two and a half years ago.
The machine:
Case: BitFenix Shinobi
Mobo: ASUS P8P67 Pro
CPU: i5 2500k 3.3 GHz
GPU: EVGA nVidia GTX 580
Audio: ASUS Xonar Essence STX
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz
[noparse]SSD:[/noparse] ADATA SX900 128G
HDD 1: WD Caviar Black 7200 RPM 1TB for Steam and gamez
HDD 2/3: 2x WD Caviar Green 5200 RPM 3TB, striped to one 6TB volume, for data
Peripherals:
Xbox 360 controller
Logitech G400 (my old MX518 is also in frame; I just ordered a plaque with an engraved nameplate for it (its name is Warrior, spelled “Warrior” but pronounced “WHARRIA”) and am going to mount it in that little empty wall space to the right of the battlestation, below the CDs)
That old-ass black mousepad with broken-in wrist rest that I’ve had for over 15 years
iRocks imitation apple keyboard
ASUS VH242H monitor
Creative Gigaworks T20 speakers
Blue Snowball microphone, which doubles as a nice stand for the
Sennheiser HD598 headphones, which I kind of wish were black, but they only come in that imitation-european-luxury-car color scheme
And yes, I do game by candlelight, motherfucker.
