I have an XP 2500+ with 1gb of ram. It has a Geforce4 ti4400 and an 80gb HD. I have sennheiser hdr45 wireless headphones and creative labs 2.1 speakers along with a CMgear laptop like keyboard and a 17'' lcd. Considering that everything except the cpu was purchased...lets see three years ago now i guess its not too bad. :)

Crap. I don't even know what I have without finding the invoice. I have a cd burner and lots horsepower and memory (you can never have too much closet space) and configured the Dell box to support the goal to make cds with the weird mix of music I like. A year later the read-write drive is still a virgin. Have the wireless key board and mouse but seem to have lost the driver and haven't taken the time to make that right. Really liked it while it worked. We have a wireless network and I am starting to wish I were unthethered like hubby's laptop (which by the way is as grubby as his car engine was). Still have the monitor I bought in 96 but one of those flat screen like on the ot thread look mighty tempting. And my printer is so pathetic. Paper has to be hand feed but if I really want to print something, I just email it to myself at work and print it there.

i'm still in the process of putting mine together, i don't have bulk money at any one time, so i get new bits when i can afford it.. this has been 3 months in the making

athlon 64 3000+ (1.8GHz) running at 2.25GHz (3500+)
asus a8v deluxe
1gb pc3200 corsair valueselect (ugh, stay away from this stuff)
xpertvision (cheap) geforce 6600gt
80gb + 20gb internal (from old pc), 250gb maxtor external
pioneer dvdrw that has never burnt a single disc
soundblaster live value circa 1999 (waiting for that XFX to get down here!)
wireless keyboard/mouse
dell 1701FPT 12ms 17" LCD
antec sonata case (the best bit!)
12mbit/1mbit ADSL2+ connection (a bragging point for anyone in Oz!)

i could make the cpu run faster (had it at 2.7GHz for a few days) but that awful valueselect ram i got is no good for it... so 2.25 is fast enough.. i don't really play games, i only upgraded to play live for speed (www.liveforspeed.net) which just happens to be the best racing sim ever!

cower in my l33t-ness

600 mhz compaq deskpro client workstation (which i found in front of somebody's house)
4 gb hdd
4mb video (agp)
laptop cd rom (its a client), it pops out
384mb ram (which took me by suprise)
absolutely NO room for expansion
have to plug my external cd burner into it if i want to run off cds


the computer i was using before (may or so), found in front of trash can
amd k6-2 somewhere between 400-500 mhz
30gb hdd (i had sitting around)
worlds $hittiest graphics card, around 11mb integrated
cd burner 24 speed
256mb ram

the problem with this computer was that i could never figure out what exactly the processor speed was (couldn't get the sink off without messing the socket up) so i clocked it in the bios at about 500-533. this messed everythign up, it took 30 minutes to burn a cd in it because of the unoptimized settings and bottlenecks, no matter what speed i burned it at, you could barely play back a divx video, and took forever to copy files from one place to another on the HDD. this computer got replaced by the compaq when the hdd died and i had to rma it, when i get the replacement back, its going into the compaq.

before compaq presario laptop at 800 mhz
6gb
128mb
laptops suck and suck hard, overheating, hinge broke, and finally the video inverter transformer fried and smoked from the screen everytime you try to turn it on, i could get a replacement inverter off ebay for $24-$256 but i don't need the thing so i never fix it. i found the amd in front of the trash can in time to take over its duties.

monitor, found in front of trash can, 15 inch with built in speakers, whoose magnets make for a nice dark picture, ie when you guys post detailed pics i can never make out little things unless i come to school and take a second look at them.

three computers in two years i guess.
i have two PIII 600 processors here and a dual motherboard, i want to put them into the amd case and have a decent machine for once.

Good one! Matt. I assume the main machine and I see you have 2 of them!. Cool.

I have several lying around including 3 Pentium Pros (remember these ?). Two multiprocessor PPros which are no longer functional. Two of my Ppros are "World's oldest iPODs". They run iTunes and only play music in some rooms. No monitor needed, hooked to PC speakers to crank up the music I needed.

If we did this with our cars, we would have engines and trannies all over the house!. Good thing the garage ain't that big!.

PS: Testing XP64 built 1830 this weekend....I last did 1280, so a few hundred more complies gotta be better, I hope.
