Show off your Computer

Post by **benheck** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 6:26 pm

Wow, Skyone's computer is even better than mine which is brand new and pretty damn good itself.

2.4 gig Core2Duo (6600)
2 gigs RAM
GeForce 8600 (DX10)

HOWEVER I also have a full terabyte of SATA-II hard drive space and dual 24" widescreen Dell LCD's. Oh yeah. 1920x1200x(2), that's right. It's like 42 inches of monitor, literally. Great for designing and multitasking!

I have a pretty good MB so if I ever find a thousand bucks laying around I could aways throw in a quad-core extreme.

Funny to think in 2000 (when I built the original Atari) I still had a 200mHz Pentium 1, 96 megs of RAM and a 1.4 gig HD.

What? Even the cheapest CRT can beat most LCDs. No blur and dark blacks and bright whites. Only thing LCDs have on them is size and power consumption.

Here is our family PC (the one I always use):

Athlon XP 2100+ 1.7 GHz
512 MB RAM
160 GB HD
ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder 8500+ 64 MB
XP Home

My laptop:

Thinkpad 600E
PII 400 MHz
160 MB RAM
6 GB HD
98 SE

My computer is pretty.

(click on the picture to cycle through the images)

Power Mac G5
Mac OS 10.4.9

dual-core 2.3 GHz PowerPC 970 (G5)
1.5 GB DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM
250 GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive (29.44 GB available)
16x DVDÂ±R/RW DL optical drive
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256 MB

Kensington Orbit Trackball
23" Apple Cinema HD Display (1920x1200)
Klipsch ProMedia GMX D-5.1 (connected through Toslink output)

Not exactly a gaming computer, but it's not bad for video editing. Still gets blown away by the new Intel Macs at that, thoughâ€¦

Here's my 1GHz Celeron rig OC'd to 1.27-ish GHz, w/ 256MB of RAM. (I know there's another PC133 stick somewhere, just have to find it)

Next week, I'm thinking of installing that other PC133 stick (If I can find it), a wifi card that will actually work w/ my Ubuntu install, & not just my Win2K install (damn crappy Buffalo brand, always sucking & whatnot). Also a good PCI VGA card that I can actually find drivers for.

BAWLS is an amazing drink. Those bottles were a pain to create, though. Glass is a hard substance to drill through, and on both, the bottoms cracked off and had to be cyano-acrylite glued back on.

They were worth the effort in the end.

That was before you were famous. And people was paying you to do your hobby. And had companys ask you to help to design their product. Some Inside and Out. Your Awesome just like you sig says.

Hah! I did not see that those were BAWLS bottles! I'm used to the smaller ones.

Best e-drink EVER!

I love that cool "slime cooling" system you've got there.
