post ya pc specs

[milkyspit]

All my computers are pretty much antiques at this point! But I've learned that folks trying to mod for 100% of their family income have nothing left to upgrade their rigs.

Fortunately (or unfortunately?) my first modding passion was computers, so whenever prior employers and such were discarding equipment, I grabbed it and cobbled together some stuff. Now I've got perhaps 20 computers around the house, all networked together in a mad hodgepodge of standards and connectivity, but remarkably it does all work! At any given time only 4-5 computers are actually running...

Brief rundown...

Eggbox (nforce3, athlonxp 1800+, winxp)
Goldeneye (dual athlon mp 1.2GHz, tyan mobo, winxp)
Connery (Sony VAIO P3-450mhz, win2k)
Junkbox (compaq presario p2-300mhz, winxp)
Loudbox (P4-2.4GHz, Asus mobo, striped raid array, winxp)
Slate (Sony VAIO PCG-SR17K, Ubuntu 7.04)
Tempbox (Dell Dimension PentiumPro-200mhz, winxp)
Cowbox (Gateway Solo notebook, CentOS 4.2)
Cortland (Mac G4 Cube 450mhz, OS X 10.3)
Porch (Lexmark E322 parallel port print server)
Thinkbox (Thinkpad 570 notebook P2-300mhz, CentOS 4.2)
Pobox (Asus Dual P3-1GHz, CentOS 4.2, VMware Server)
Redbox (Thinkpad R31 notebook, SUSE 10.0)
Frankenbox (P3 Tualatin-1.2GHz, CentOS 4.2)
Smallbox (Presario 2266 Cyrix 225MHz, CentOS 4.2)
SE30 (Mac SE30, Mac OS System 7)
Qube2 (Cobalt Qube, Mips-250mhz, 64MB, 4GB, Debian 'Sarge')

There's more that I haven't listed...

Will build flashlights for more up-to-date rigs! Seriously! PM if you've got any ideas.

:sweat:

 

[Gran Nismo]

Asus P5PE-VM w/ Core 2 Duo E6600
Windows XP64
2GB OCZ DDR 3200 RAM
Nvidia FX5200 128MB Video
2TB+ Hard Drive Total (1TB of it is an external Fantom Firewire 800 w/32mb cache)
19" CRT (Soon to be 47" White Westinghouse)

I do alot of video editing, and is very fast. I can multi task other stuff while my videos are being compiled. I can't wait for the 47" as my BattleField 2142 game will be much bigger.

Did I say alot of video editing!? 1 hour worth of raw minidv is around 13gb.
I like my PC it's my custom built rig. No virus problems or what not. Always use freewares like Adware and Spybot, hijackthis, and use Firefox browser along with google toolbar protection.

Dell Latitude C400
Intel Mobile Pentium III
640M Ram

Atheros 802.11 a/b/g mini-pci wireless.

Other desktops are random stuff, either cobbled together from spare parts, or freebies/fixer upers, or old PC's I've had.

512mbyte kingston ram

This laptop I got from a friend and made 100% functional by combining parts from two A30's he gave me. I can surf, watch movies, play games, and whatever I need to now from my car or where ever! Next purchase will be an orinoco wifi card (with external antenna jack) or car powersupply. I could also get an auxillary adapter for my pioneer HU to interface to my cars sound system. Big screen car DVD player anyone? lol
