What are the specs and such on your computers?

I have a crap load of computers, but I only really use one because it is fast and it has enough space for my homework. Ok, so it isn't really fast. Here are the specs:

RAM: 640 MB DDR
CPU: 1.2 AMD Duran (I think 1800+)
Video: 4200 AGP 8X nVidia
Hard Drive (s): one 40 GIG and a 60 GIG as a slave. Plus, I have a 120 GIG external.
Motherboard: Some Gigabyte motherboard that I found in a computer at a friends house.
PSU: 420 WATT
Monitor: Samsung 19" CRT
Sound: Onboard sound with a Parot-900 Amp, and Creative speakers.
GE Keyboard and AOpen optical 5 button 2 scroll mouse.

Here is my beast computer tower. I have it in a Quantum Steel case. Great for transportation to LAN parties.


Those are with my Dell 15" CRT LAN monitor.





My mom and I have a Dell 9100 Inspiron Laptop that we use for movies. We also have two other towers in the house, an older del (from 2000.) and another computer that I built. I don't have any pictures of it other then an old desktop with my really old computer that got pwned in my car accident.



The one on the left is my old computer. The parts will still good, so I threw it in the case that is to the right, then put the parts from that case into this new case that I bought. The parts in the other computer are actually better, so I use it for LAN parties. This comptuer I take also in case somebody didn't bring one, but it isn't as good as the other.

RAM: 1024 MB DDR
CPU: 1.61 AMD Athlon overclocked to 2.0
Video: 6200
Hard Drive (s): one 80 GB Maxtor
Motherboard: MSI K8N
PSU: 400 WATT
Monitor: Dell 15" CRT "Battle Monitor"
Sound: Onboard with stock Dell sound.

I run all these computers on a network with 2 connected directly with Cat 5 cables and the others with a wireless network. My sister has a computer as well, but it is so weak it is incapable of doing really anything.

Also, I have a crap load of old computers (mainly from the 90's) that I have gotten/found here and there. I normally gut them, and then get rid of the stuff I don't need, but the ones I have now I have kept for later use (mainly some moddable cases I have yet to gut out.)

So what do you guys roll with?

the monster fan


hehe. it moves a ton of air -- enough that i have no other fans in the machine, including on the CPU.

Did you just pull that off of a normal house fan? I've seen fans like that for sale on some websites, they were just more then what I would want to spend on a fan. How much noise does it make?

Oh yeah, I also have a CD-RW, but it is sitting out on my dining room table where it will sit until I decide to work on it. It decided not to work with me anymore.

Lucky!! those are the sexiest notebooks ever, and speedy too. I would love a nice powerbook or G5, but it would not be practical for me and I don't have the money right now to spend on equipment that is not practical. too bad because i have had the pleasure to use some of the newer G5's and WOW those things are smoken fast when you get multiple processors in them, not to mention how pretty the OS is sorry, just a bit jealous

yep -- a $16 target item. it's a 9" fan with a metal housing. look for one (if you wanna do this mod) that has metal housing, is screwed together, and has a base that is separable from the fan unit. this one was not an oscillating fan -- the base was just a couple bent tubes. those plus the other half of the cage are long gone, and it's just screwed to the case. i had to clearance it a bit with some rubber washers so the blades didn't hit anything.

in terms of noise, it's not bad -- quieter than a 60mm muffin fan with bad bearings, if that means anything to you. i don't have a dB meter or i'd give you a 1m reading for sure. i'm guessing it's in the 60 dB range. a lot of smaller high-performance fans are 48 or so. but for moving 230 CFM and replacing all of the other fans, AND keeping my drives, etc. at a couple degrees C above ambient, i'll happily put up with it.

here are two of my previous posts that give you info on my setup:
