I like everything, but my processor. I need a new one and new motherboard sometime eventually. My monitor is also a hulking 19" monstrosity of a CRT monitor.

ASUS A7N8X deluxe MB, with AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Nvidia GeForce 6600
200gig harddrive
1.5 gigs of RAM

I recently upgraded my video card because all the people that argued with me about SLI were right. There are plenty of components I'd like to upgrade but there's also plenty of more important things for me to sink $300 into right now. I'd know more technical details but I got tired of watching hardware sites every day to get the latest scoop on what was going to be better than what I was already buying.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
RAM: 1GB RAM
Video: nVidia 7900 GS 256MB RAM
Sound: Creative Audigy SE (SE stands for "Wal-Mart Special" hey it's better than onboard)
Keyboard: 7Ghz AMD "IronMan" type R
Mouse: 7Ghz Intel "Titanium" (Yeah, it's got a Hemi)
Monitor: 19" CRT codename "Spinal Strain" complete with dead pixel

Replacing the video card was a good idea (thanks woot.com!). Adding more RAM would probably be a good idea too, and judging from my free disk space it looks like a visit from the format fairy is due.

Also the mouse and keyboard increased my system performance by like 3000% that's why I listed them in the computer specs thread. When I unplug my mouse I get a lot less FPS in Microsoft Word.

Monitor: 17" Samsung LCD

Lite-On SOHW-832S DVD Writer (R/RW/Dual Layer)
40GB Maxtor 7200RPM IDE Master
80GB Western Digital 7200RPM IDE Slave

Heheh, i gotta compaq, lol. I didnt pay for it though...so don't bitch at me about how much it sucks, I already know.

Windows XP Home Edition SP2
1.4GHZ Intel Celeron CPU
256MB DDR 300 RAM
Integrated graphics and sound (not sure of their specs, but they suck)
17" CRT Monitor

1 40x CD-RW
1 DVD-ROM
1 30GB Maxtor IDE Master HDD
1 120GB Western Digital IDE Slave HDD (limping after a power surge)
Generic Floppy

1 Game-Elements (generic) recoiling USB controller
1 HP Optical PS/2 mouse
1 Compaq PS/2 keyboard

The compaq aforementioned is in the custom case on the floor, because it didn't have enough 3.5" slots for my slave drive. There is a cool ASUS silver server that I built on the desk underneath the stacked files...heres that one;

Fedora Core 4 (linux)
2.0GHZ AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU
1GB DDR 400 RAM
Integrated sound and graphics

250GB Western Digital SATA HDD
15x CD-RW, DVD-ROM combo drive

I have this one hooked up through a KVM switch utilizing the same peripherials as the compaq, because I'm cheap like that and don't wanna buy a whole bunch more crap for it. Thats why the keyboard and mouse are PS/2 instead of USB...because the KVM switch doesnt have USB slots.

I got a cheap ten year old win98 machine upstairs, for nostalgia and packrat purposes:

Windows 98 SE
166MHZ Intel Pentium 1 CPU
64MB RAM (i have no idea what kind)
Integrated sound and graphics
Linksys wireless ethernet card

30GB Maxtor Master IDE HDD
1 CD-ROM 48X inoperable
1 CD-ROM 52X
1 generic floppy inoperable

1 15" CRT monitor (12" viewable)
1 PS/2 Sunbeamtech backlit keyboard
1 PS/2 HP Mouse (original)

It's an HP, built just after they acquire Packard-Bell in 1997, and yes it came installed with win95 originally, but I upgraded to win98...I dont think it could handle anything else, other than a linux distro. Those are Atari stickers on the case and monitor...I'm a geek, sue me. It's technically an HP Pavilion 7200...and it says 7200 on the bottom of the front panel of the case, I thought it'd be funny to try and pass it off as an Atari 7200, lol. The black marks all over the case are from my shoe, when I kick it because it pisses me off from being so damned slow.

All three are securely networked together, which was a fun experiment, getting the win98 to accept the encryption for the wireless connection. The old bastard still gets online, and runs firefox alright, so its not useless. I also have its cheap soundcard wired into my stereo, so those speakers ontop of the desk output the sound from the computer. Routing its sound through the stereo's preamp is all I could do to increase the quality of the sound it puts out, cuz it sucks really bad...it will run winamp too, and it streams the music off the Compaq just fine. I couldn't really get the Fedora server to share files over the microsoft network, its just an HTTP server. Mostly, I use the Atari pc to record MIDI's, because the other two comps don't have Joystick/MIDI ports. Those kinda became outdated with the advent of USB.
