2008/2009 LAN Party Build

I love building the systems I could never afford back in the day. Brings back awesome memories of staying up all night playing UT2004, BioShock and Doom 3, smashing Doritos and just losing track of time. This build hits that exact era for me.

Specs:

• DFI LANParty P45‑T2RS Plus

• Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550

• 4GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer

• Dual Radeon HD 4890s (CrossFire)

• Windows 7 Ultimate

(By this stage and normally I'd be running a LED monitor. I didn't get around to doing the full set-up)

Never gets old

Most certainly not the best doom player or even good. But still enjoy it. Sound of the super shotgun. I'll usually take 2 or 3 networked systems to retro meets so people can come sit and play co‑op.

Thought I'd quietly leave this here....

I have too many systems to show! So I've just done a bit of a random photo dump. When I get time I'll display them properly.

Beige on the outside. 5080 on the inside

Minimal case modifications other than removing the HDD cage to fit the 5080. Working CD drive. Motherboard, CPU and RAM are due for upgrades soon but for now it’s still doing me well.
