so now that I have talked how about you
how many awesome computers have you all built?

[cowsgoquack101]

Umm, none. I rebuilt my neighbors PC and my own. But they are extremely capable of running Windows XP and small amounts of games.

My computer was pretty good when I first built it over 2 years ago...

AMD64 3000+
1GB RAM
Radeon 9200 128MB (never was too good, but a great card for the money)
500w Power supply
5.25" floppy drive!!!

A few days ago, my friend asked me to help him make a computer, since his parents are giving him one for a graduation present. His parents have quite a bit of money, so I think this'll be a pretty nice computer

[Fabre]

Intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz
512 MB RAM
Intel Mobility X1300
80 GB HDD

My laptop Not incredibly powerful compared to desktop PCs, but it can run Oblivion nicely.

None, I just upgrade mine but buy them pre built. My PC was a rip off because of the Pentium D in it but it has a 3 year warranty so at least if it breaks I am pretty much set for a while. Anyway I am saving up money now so when I need a new one I will have the money to buy them.

Total So Far: £20

Target: > £800

The fanciest PC I built was this one: (not anything amazing by any means, but it works...)
3 gig P4 or Celeron (one of the two)
1 gig RAM
160 gig HD
56x CD-ROM (see note below)
floppy drive (yes, a floppy drive! )
ATI Radeon 9200 128mb graphics card (not much for gaming but it was free!)

I know I only have a CD-ROM drive in here at the moment, but I'm going to CompUSA today and I'll hopefully pick up one of their $30 after rebate Dual layer DVD +- RW drives. (check your fliers) Then it's off to Office Depot to pick up a 100-pack of DVD+- RW discs for $20. (Hopefully some of this will go on my graduation gift tab...

Betcha can't beat this:
4.77MHz Intel 80C88 CPU
640KB RAM
Paradise 16-color EGA graphics card
1200 baud modem
32MB Seagate hard drive
Magnavox TTL RGB monitor

It plays Rogue, BurgerTime, Pole Position, Battlezone, California Games, Pinball Construction Set and many more games that are much more fun to play than the games that come now (Except Nintendo.)
