    Default Post your computer specs

    I bought my computer in 2003, and it's still fast and reliable today. Go Dell!

    Pentium 4 CPU
    2.4 GHz
    1GB RAM
    120GB of internal HD space, 750GB of external HD space
    Windows XP SP2
    17 inch LCD monitor

    Hmm, what other specs can you think of?

    Oh, and the monitor is a 22 inch 226BW, not a 206BW...my bad

    PS: Euphoria, if I were you, I'd invest a little bit of money in a better GPU. The 8600 GT really is the bottleneck in your system; in fact, you can have a pair of the 8600 GT's run in SLI mode, and it'd still be significantly inferior to an 8800 GT/GTX, to say nothing of the Ultra. If you're hard up, I'd recomment the 7900 GTS/GTX instead; it is getting pretty cheap, now that the 9X series are about to come out, but still will give you at least double the performance of your current card.

    The 7900 GTX doesn't seem much cheaper than the 8800 GTX, or is it a different situation in stores? Hmm, didn't expect the 6800 to score so high.

    So um, where do you live . .

    My computer is crap. It's basically a Compaq Presario bought in 2004 from Circuit City. No updates ever since.

    My monitor is an average 17-inches. I bought it in 2006 because I didn't want my old fat one anymore. Since we're talking about computer stuff, are there any screens out there that are not bad for the eyes?

    the reason i dont want to invest in a better gpu is because im using the PC purely for recording tv shows, watching videos, and surfing the web in the living room. yeah i could do with lesser specs for this purpose, but since i was upgrading some parts, i went for the mid level spec.

    yes, but that's irrelevant because there's something wrong with saying "looks like i have to catch buses from several routes." Plus, what am i going to do with the stolen goods?

    My PC is more than 4-year old so it's not state of the art anymore, but it was a pretty good machine back then. I didn't build the PC myself, but I did chose every components.

    Intel Pentim 4 2.80 GHz
    Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
    Kingwin KT-424-BK-WM
    Antec TRUE430
    Corsair TWINX1024-3200LL
    ATI Radeon 9600 PRO
    Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum
    Pioneer DVR-112D (this was a recent upgrade--my old Pioneer DVR-106BK went kaput a few months ago)
    Plextor PX-W4824TA
    Panasonic 1.44 M floppy drive
    NEC Multisync LCD1760NX-BK-1

    I am in the process of buying components for a new build and this time I will do it myself. So far I have only bought non-electronic components except for one DVD writer.

    Lian Li PC-7B Plus
    Scythe Andy Samurai Master
    Arctic Cooling MX-2
    2 x Noctua NF-P12 (to replace the case fans)
    Samsung SH-S203B

    No one I think can beat my spec in term of its crapness :

    I bought it barebones (clone) from ebay in 2001, a lame AMD Athlon processor. Since then lots of its component come and go, I think the DVD-Writer is the fourth (I know I download lots of stuff). I just add another HD last year, a 500GB (the third HD in the machine, accumulating about 1.1 TB) so that I can collect a completed series (tv/anime) and I can burn them in one go, easy for archiving and retrieving. At least it can extend my burner with a now less frequent of burning activity.

    The machine never stop helping me with my illegal leeching/pirating activity from kazaa (my first), edonkey, torrent, irc, streamload and now my current downloading armor: a giganews usenet with 200 days retention. Means I can do globetrotting for half a year and still not miss an episode of my favorite series.

    Currently in planning to change my current machine to a new one. My current machine I think is at the end of its lifetime. Sometimes its goes down for no reason and cannot be restarted. I think its probably a power supply failure or a worst one, motherboad failure.
