I just purchased the last components Sunday to do my first build, a business/office PC. The processor is more than I wanted but it was on sell too cheap to pass up, which made everything else go up. It could be a great gaming PC also.

MB-Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L
CPU-Intel Core 2 Dou E8400 (6 friggin MB of L2!) 3.0 GHZ 45nm

HD-Seagate 500GB SATA-2 16mb buffer

OS-XP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Total price $635 after rebates.

My original plan was for an E7200 and keep the cost under $500, with on-board video and such, but I found the E8400 on sale for $139.99.....

Both of mine are damned good - so good, in fact, that I can't disclose the details.

Their data content is even better. No junk - no games.

Mine's a store bought IBM Think Pad - Perfect for a Dinosaur!

Dino

Mine has two lose keys, about 8 sticky ones from ice tea, and a five year old attached to it many afternoons. Can't identify much else about it.

Pretty good, and it heats one room.

My computer was 'assaulted' by a drunken co-worker during a trip this spring, somehow he mistook my laptop bag/briefcase for a urinal in the middle of the night. Good thing the case is heavy duty, and closed.

Wow, you don't hear that every day...


update: got a new mac keyboard today it's amazing and it types really well. Going to either use for my PC or for my MacBook with a new setup of using my 22" monitor as a secondary for my mac with the mac off to the side. I also ordered a mini DVI adapter and iPhone 3G dock for my iPhone and its all awesome.

I couldnt resist but to take some pics of the keyboard. It's so thin!

Mine is a Gateway Performance XL

850 GHZ Pentium III
384 MB DDRM
30 GB Hard Drive
DVD-ROM (CD-RW drive is broken)
Windows XP

I want to get a Dell XPS 420, but I have no idea when I will do this. I hardly work on Skilifts.org because of all the low memory warnings I get shortly after boot-up.

Why don't you buy some ram? DDR-2 ram is like $10 per gigabyte.

As for my stats:

3GB DDR2 533mhz
1.86Ghz Core 2 Duo
7500 GeForce (want to get a nine series card)
Dual 19inch screen
C: 320gb SATA2
E: 250gb SATA2
Networked: 320gb
Backup 1tb + 200gb (I have lots of photos you see?)
Lightscribe DVD/CD
Ontariodude: Vista 32 can only use 4gb of ram no?

Vista

Vista-32 can only utilize 3 - 3.25GB RAM max. With my 6GB when I'm running vista-32 it reads 3GB. If you want to use more than that, get Vista-64. Above all that, Vista-64 is better now anyways and there are drivers for it for pretty much anything unlike when it was released.

I've got the same keyboard with my Mac Mini. I agree - it's great and it's aluminum!

I run a Black MacBook.

-2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
-2GB RAM
-250GB Hard drive (new)

I just got a new hard drive, as my old one died for absolutely no reason. I also have a 500GB TimeCapsule and a 300GB Lacie external hard drive. I would like an iMac or MacPro if I had the $$$.

Can you run 32bit programs with a virtualization program on Vista-64? Seems to me the application choice is small otherwise, might as well go to a mac (leopard runs 64bit and 32bit programs side by side). On Apple website "64-bit addressing of up to 16 exabytes of virtual memory and 4 terabytes of physical memory"!!!!! I admire your keyboards people! I am planning to upgrade GFX card to 8800GTS (second hand).

You can run both 32bit and 64bit software on 64bit os.


On that note, I have a # of machines that I own and use daily,

A Acer 9300 AMD Turion64 X2 1.6ghz 17in screen 4gb of ram and 250gb hd, XP Pro SP3
A Dell E510 P4 2.8ghz 8gb of ram Running VMware ESXI (I have 4 vm's running) 4 1tb Seagates
A IBM x360 Quad 1.4ghz Xeon Proessors, 4gb of ram and 3x 73gb 10k scsi Disks Running Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition
A HP nc4200 notebook in the Truck
A HP nc6220 laptop for the bathroom


How much music do you guys have? I'm sitting at 300gb of music.

AMD Athon X2 6000+ 3.0Ghz
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe nForce 570 SLI MCP
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 800 (PC 6400)
nVidia GeForce 8800GTS (G92 Core) 512MB
SilverStone ZEUS 650W PSU
2x Seagate 80GB SATA (one just died unfortunately)
160GB Maxtor SATA
Cooler Master Centurion 5 (Blue)
Acer 22" LCD (ordered it yesterday, should be here soon!)








I'm looking for new cases (I want a Lian-Li full tower but they are insanely expensive) and I want a new PSU because this one is a bit too loud but it's still really nice. These are semi-old pics but not much has changed since then, its less of a mess but its still not very neat lol.
