The computer in your life.....

My comp doubles as a night light^_^ not that I need it.

My crappity computer:

Pentium III processor (why it freezes up all the time)

14 Gig hardrive (NOT enough for me, a screencap whore)

150 MB RAM (not enough!)

Crappy video card (dragging, freezing, crashing)

crappy sound card (fuzzy, sound goes in and out)

Iomega External CD-RW (which, BTW, is not working right now >_<)

Logitech Wingman "Joystick" controller (it looks kinda like an N64 controller)

Epson Stylus Photo 820 printer (really noisy but since it's designed for photos, it prints really good Roger pics)

Piece of crap computer.

My computer triples as a DVD player and a Super Nintendo. I had to install the damn DVD-ROM though.

Its UBER its got over a gig of rammynes, a viewy thing, a keyboard like thing, its black, has a dvd thing, and I have like 6 OS, I currently am constantly switching between windows and Knoppix (Not totaly sure how to get new programs to work on knoppix, its a live cd) well I only really use windows when I need to do something (FTP) I cant do on linux.

I just have a stock Insipiron 5100. Beyond programs, I never do anything to my laptop. I'd love to get an alienware, but I'm tight on money as it is.

My PC has a name (SHAZAM). And he has served me well for these past five years, but I doubt he'll live through the sixth. Sooner or later the Screen-Dim Reaper must haul away my poor CPU.
Here's the specs, to the best of my knowledge.

128mb RAM (edit: I accidentally doubled it!)
30GB Hard Drives (C: and D
512mhz Processor
Floppy Support (A
CD-ROM Drive 4x (E
CD-RW Drive 4x (F
4mb Video Card (no joke)

Windows 98
Internet Explorer 5.0

Pity the foo' who picked out that video card.
*pumps shotty*
My crappy graphics are releasing the evil redneck in me!

[/Sarcastic tone] Seriously... I have a 400MHz Power Mac G4 with 896MB of RAM that I wish I could replace but I can't afford to. I also have a 466MHz iBook with 320MB of RAM that I wish I could replace too. BabyGhia

I just purchased a computer over the holidays...so Ill see if I cant post some of the specs and such (its all via memory, Im too lazy to look at the manuals, boxes, etc. to get the exact details):

Its an HP with:

AMD 64 2.1 overclocked at 3.2
160 GB of harddrive
DVD-Rom drive
CD-Rom drive (cd burner included)
HP digital image viewer (for digital camera pictures and such)
Samsung 17' flat screen monitor
512 DDR Memory
Windows XP
floppy drive (still need to install it)


I think I have the capability to burn anything I want to CD and DVD...not sure, as its new, Im still getting used to all the goodies it came with...

Mine is a 400mhz clunker that has been through at least 5 other owners in it's time.

Let me put it like this, it's equipped with a Voodoo 3 vid-card, about roughly 200mb of memory, 2 16GB hard drives, and a hardcore attitude.

All crammed into an old 8088 case that needs to be run with the cover off to keep from overheating.

That my friends, is my sick puppy. The Mick Foley of Computing.

I upgraded my computer a few more times since I last posted the specs. Here are the current ones:

Intel D865PERL motherboard (Intel 865PE chipset)
Pentium 4 2.8GHz (with HT)
512MB DDR SDRAM (dual channel) 1GB DDR SDRAM (dual channel)
2x Maxtor 40GB HDD 1x Maxtor 40GB HDD, 1x Maxtor 80GB HDD
ATI Radeon 8500 (64MB)
Onboard SoundMAX sound Back to the Creative Sound Blaster PCI512 since I like it a little better
Windows XP Pro
Pioneer DVR105 DVD-RW
Lite-On LTR-48125W CD-RW
Hauppauge WinTV-GO TV tuner
Onboard Intel 100Mbps NIC
Imation floppy drive
Antec case w/ 350W power supply
Compaq keyboard
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 (optical)
17" Compaq MV720 monitor 17" LG Flatron L1720P flat panel monitor
Logitech Z-3 Speakers (w/ subwoofer)

The only other upgrade I'm considering is replacing my main HDD with a WD 80GB HDD that I'm currently using for backups, then buying a larger drive to back up the two 80GB ones.

Mwhahahha alright well I am one of those who really has no idea about the techncial techncial stuff about their computer oh well any who its like Windows XP and GateWay, it has floppy drive, cd/cd burner rom, dvd rom, monitor and speakers,and microphone. Its been good to me or whatever, any who heres a pic yeah its the same one I used in the "Billy Gates Sexy Beast Thread" but its the only pic of it I have, and if anyone one wants to verify what it is that would be sweet! ^_^"

school stuff

game stuff

shopping stuff

and/or

drawing/fun stuff

i guess just for anything would do.

[Please see the most recent post for system specs]

SOYO motherboard
Intel Celeron 2.4Ghz
768 RAM
Sony 3.5" floppy
Lite-on DVD-ROM
CD Writer
Maxtor 20GB hard drive
Western Digital 160 GB hard drive (as three drives)
Windows XP Pro
Labtec Wireless Keyboard/ mouse
17" Megavision flat panel monitor
Creative Labs speakers w/ subwoofer

I know that this motherboard came with on board sound and video...but it sucked. So we went and got the cards but what kind? Beats me! I should know, but I don't.

None the less, my husband built it for just a little over $200 and it has served me well. My favorite part is the 6 USB ports....2 in front and 4 in back. I love my computer.

While I would love to have the Hauppauge WinTV-GO TV tuner on my computer, I'll just have to live with it being on the hubby's media computer for now. It handles all that sort of stuff( massive hard drives and input from the sat dish).

Madrona

I just got a new CD ROM and keyboard. The CD ROM just stopped reading and had to be replaced, and the keyboard...took a shower.

Also I dropped it, and it landed on my wireless card. And then it looked kinda...bent-ey. So I had to get a new Linksys one.

And...um...I think that's about it. Oh I got an mP3 player.
