I have an old peice of shit at home, a PII300 that I don't even use anymore. It will make a good CS server when I put linux on.... mmmmmm... Counter-Strike.
However, my employee is generous enough to provide me with the following laptop:
IBM A21p
PIII 850
256 Ram
ATI Mobility AGP 16 MB Video
DVD
30 Gb Drive
Crystal sound fusion (not familiar with this card, but it works pretty good)
10/100 Network Card
Modem, usb, etc.
-
PIII 866mhz
192 meg o' ram
ATI Radeon 32 MB
Intel Integrated Sound Card (or whatever - goddamned package deals...)
CDR-W
40 GB Drive
Modem o' cabley fun
Etherjunk
USB Hub (ASound Solution)
Next time, I build my own. Enough of my family's love of warranties.

Here's a pic of my keyboard (it's sweet):
(http://www.circuitdeal.com/pic/275095-im600825-td770914.jpg)
Note that there are no stupid Windows keys present, and note that the backslash key ("\") is located in the correct position, directly above the enter key.
The way I see it, since my keyboard is my main interface between me and my computer, I want it arranged in a way that is the most comfortable and conducive to speed and accuracy.
Plus, the thing's built like a brick-shithouse. No cheapo keyboards for me. Those are for amateurs. :)
Back to my list:
No fucking DVD.
No fucking CD burner.
That about covers it.

All in all my system is pretty cool. I think the next thing on my list to upgrade is the Power Supply (it's only a 250 watt) and a faster processor. That's about it.
I almost forgot... I could use a bigger tower for all this stuff. It's pretty cramped right now.
-

Bah! Who needs a tower? Just screw everything down to a big piece of plywood, throw a sheet of plastic over it, and have a fan blowing air underneath to remove heat, and you'll be fine. It wouldn't be pretty, but who cares? :lol:

I actually did that once when I first got a computer a while back. I didn't have enough money for a case. My brother and I got two eye hooks, put them into the wall and hung the motherboard from it, and the other componets on my desk.
It works pretty well, I never had a problem with it.
-
You'd probably want something to keep the dust off of some components when it's not running (hence the plastic in my suggestion to Revka). But otherwise I don't see any reason why something like that shouldn't work quite well. If anything, you should probably get slightly better airflow...
-
Where or how on my computer can I locate all the specs? I dont think mine could compare to any of yours but still, I want to know what I have.
-
If you don't know what you have (without having to check), you probably don't have much to contribute to this conversation, friend.
-
not to contribute, just to know, for my sake.....I am not going to post it.
-
Lol.
Well, when your computer boots up, it should say what kind of processor it's running, one of the first pieces of text it puts up on the screen.
As far as RAM goes, if you right-click on your "My Computer" icon on your desktop and select "properties", it should tell you how much RAM you have (and sometimes what kind of processor too, but sometimes that's strangely absent for some computers).
And as for your OS, if you don't know that, you shouldn't be touching that thing.
-
haha thanks alot demo :D
-
Try opening up your computer. You'll notice that most of the time the plugs will only fit into one socket. However, there are more than one of some sockets.
But really, it's a lot harder to mess up your computer than you think by taking a closer look at it.
Just, if you mess it up, I'm not responsible for what happened to it.
-
I remember when I first started to open up computers years ago. My first experience was... memorable! Here's the story:
I had an old 386 at the time. I wanted to get a sound card so I went to this store and bought the cheapest card they had. $40 for the card, and it only played midi sounds, not even .wav files!! So the guy wanted to charge me an extra $40 to put it in and I though this was unresonable so I told him I didn't feel like bending over and that I would put the card in myslef.
I get home, open up the case for the very first time. look around and see that there are a bunch of slots on a big electronic board. I see that there are some cards in those slots and figure out what they are, then I see some spares. I think to myslef "that fucker from the store was really ripping me off if it's just a matter of sliding a card in!!! That bastard!"
So I put the sound card on a free slot, read the instructions for conecting wires from my internal speaker to the card, and the card to the motherboard. Then I decide to turn it on...
Poooofffff!!!! Black smoke!!! I pull the plug right away... hummmm... what the hell??? I head towards the smell of burned rubber and notice that my speaker wires are half melted... Must have iverted them I tought. So I switch them around and leave'em in, even though they are half melted and the metal conductor is exposed a few places. I turn the PC back on...
sniff sniff... sniff sniff... Nothing's burning! That's good! I get to windows 3.1, install drivers, test the card... It works!!!!
Then... A little flash, a little noise, then Nothing! The PC shuts off for no apparent reason. What the hell is going on now????
After opening up the case again, I look around, see some burn marks on the mother board. An exposed half burned speaker cable was lying next to it. Fuck! I fried the damn board!
Then I tough "Oh well, I wanted to upgrade anyway. Let's get a new motherboard!!! I'm sure I can put it in myslef now that I know what NOT to do!!!"
-------------
And I did. Never had any explosions since. After years of experience playing around the PC, I opened up a home business. I was selling computers. I would order all the parts and built custom PCs for my clients. Then I realised "Fuck! There's no real money to be made in this business. And I have to deal with stupid users all the time!!!" So I stopped.

Weird Tingly Feeling happened to that old 386 that caused speaker wires to melt just from putting in a sound card??????
You must have had a short somewhere... I've never heard of such a thing.
Though a buddy of mine tried plugging an Intellimouse into a really old machine, and that completely fried his motherboard and almost set the mouse on fire.... Kind of like that?
-
That's a nice setup, jon. My compliments to your father!

Thanks, but I have to upgrade my video card. How much does a GeForce 4 go for?
Also, my father did not build this himself. I helped.
-
Hey Demo, I think I can get a CD-RW for you from my parents. It has to be cleaned and everything, but if it still works I'll let you know.
-
Demo, I'm talking about the small speaker cables that go inside the case, from the card to the motherboard. Apparently the card was so damn cheap that you could not invert the wires. It's like if you have a + and a - on the card and the same on the mainboard. I connected the + from the card to the - from the board and the - from the crad to the + of the board. So it fried and my room smelled like some skank from hell for a day or two. Or maybe that stinky cloud was actually caused by my ex girlfriend... Actually, it's the same. She was a skank from hell :?

Ah, gotcha... I thought you had been referring to the wires going from the back of the card to your external speakers... now THAT would be fucked up!
Revka: Really? They don't want anything for it?

Don't think so. They're getting both of their computers replaced anyway. If any of the stuff works and doesn't smell like soot then I guess it's fair game.
-
Hell, even if it DOES smell like soot, but still works, who am I to complain about a free CD burner? Even *I* am not that big of an asshole.... ;)
-
Some compressed air and some Fantastic (for external purposes only) might be able to fix some of those stink problems. The compressed air would be good for the inside. I suppose you could always open it up and clean it some more if you're really concerned about soot and whatnot.
-
or just put up a little taxi-cab air freshner sidways infront of one of the fans and quit bitching :)

[/i]Hey... I just so happen to have an unopened car air freshener that might do the trick... Revka was even with me when I bought them.
Good suggestion. ;)
-
Wow... I can't imagine a computer that would smell better (or worse now that I think about it).
-
The one in my car has toned down quite a bit, though I do have to say... it was pretty damned overpowering for a couple of days or so. Now it smells just fine, however.
-
Yeah, but the inside of a computer tower is a lot smaller than a car... so therefore the scent would be more concentrated.
-
OK, get ready to laugh. I've got an old packard bell, pentium (that's right, none of those fancy roman numerals on this baby :) ) 120 mhz, 16 mb ram, 1.2 gig hardrive, No idea what kind of video card, windows 95, 15 inch monitor, factory mouse (still) and the most expensive thing on it is a crappy microsoft internet keyboard that I purchased resently after destroying my old one in a fit of rage :twisted: . Yes it sucks beyond comprehension, but it's like a part of the family.
-
*snicker*
-
It can actually view these web pages in a timly manner?
-
Indeed it does. She's got more in her than meets the eye.
-
That's suprising. I had an old pentium 133 lying around and I put Windows 95 on it and it really could not handle viewing any web page.
Then again, it did only have 32 megs of ram. Or maybe it was 64. I don't quite remember, but I do know that it simply could not handle viewing web pages.

Weird, mine can run flash, java, and occaisonly things like shockwave. ONLY 32 megs of ram and it couldn't handle web pages? Very very odd. Hell, I've still got dial-up and a real shitty modem, and it loads just fine.

If I had my comp right in front of me (using office comp that sucks ass), and if that computer of mine was HALF DECENT, I'd post a setup.

Feel free to complain about my repeated sighing. I leave one every second post. Count them, unless you're busy with life.
Just my luck...

This thread makes me think that perhaps this site should be called The Dorkery (http://www.gotthegeek.com).... ;)

lol, the geekery is fine. It's suits us best.

The only cool thing about my comp is.. 4 speakers.
-
my computer is nothing to boast about, but kinda like snyperx, I have a pretty good audio setup going. It suits my purpose good.

Nah, I got a crappy setup, generic card. 4 speakers is the only good part lol, bad speakers too. I can get 6, but too many wires.

I'm blatantly smarter than alot of people with 4.0 gpa's... And i only have like a 3.5 give or take a couple 10ths.. Well, if you want to be technical I have a ~4.5 with the honors classes crap
-
boys, words of advice if I may: Grades don't mean shit in the real world, regardless of what you are told. There are two kinds of "smarts" in life. Street smarts and book smarts. The most succesful people are the ones who have balanced both types of smarts.
I remember when I was in University (for a total of 7 years of hell), some students had a 4.0 average. Among those, most where geeks with absolutly no social skills because they spent most of their lives in a library. Think they will be good employees? Good with working in teams? Good at grasping office politics concepts? Good at creating and maintaining work relationships with fellow employees? Good at influencing people and obtaining informal leadership powers? Well.. Not generally, because all of these qualities are aquired through street smarts. Take the book out of their faces and they become confused and fragile.
Among the 4.0 average group, there was also the dumbest people I have ever met in my whole life, often reffered to as the jocks (Of course, not ALL jocks are like this). They spent all their time cheating on exams, getting other people to do assignements for them, ect. They are the opposite of the above group. They had ONLY street smarts and that when they start working in a real job, their stupidity will be revealed. It's unavoidable. I remember a guy who graduated from a university degree, and never once used a computer because he didn't want to learn how to type. He got other people to do the work for him. I feel sorry for people like that. And when you end up working in a team with someone like that, well... you do his work because if you don't, you know it won't get done and you will suffer the consequences as well in the end.
Of course, I'm not saying the lower the grades, the better your future will be. I'm just saying it's pointless to brag about grades because they are not an adequate measure of your capacities. I HATE IT when people use grades to mesure themselves or others. All it really does is prove how ignorant they really are. (nothing personal, just had to get it out of my system).
I'll say this and my intentions are not to brag: I'm 25. My GF is 25. I invested 7 years in my education. She did 8 years. We own a new house, an expensive vehicle and our family income is quadruple the average national familly income. We are not the 4.0 GPA kind of people. So give me a fucking break.
-
GPA;s actully do mean things when it comes to college
-
Well said, Judge.
Gah, schools think they educate?
Actual photo of typical high school graduates:
(http://jovan.ru/pics/watch.jpg)
What i hate is when these "jocks" get fired...more than once...and end up becoming a drain on our economy.
-
Actually, colleges care more about your worth ethics and extra activities such as sports, music, etc...
If a kid made straight A's but did no activities, he would get it handed to him by the kid who made B's and C's but was a varsity football player and a proffesional thespian.

Well, I finally updgarded my piece of shit PC. I had a PII 300 iwth 64MB of ram and an 8MB video card. I got tired of playing DoD on my laptop. And then, the opportunity came...
My friend decide to upgrad his PC (from 6 months ago) so he sold me his mother board, processor (AMD Athlon 1800) and included 256 MB DDR Ram. All for the low low price of $200 CAD, installed!!! Then I bought an ATI Radeon 9000 with 64MB ($150 CAD). Oh My Fucking God!!!! DoD is an entirely new game now! The graphics are incredible. And that's a 5 year old engine!!!! I can't wait to buy newer, state of the art games! Mmmmmmmmmmmm.... new games....

Well, I just bought one of these (http://www.techdepot.com/product.asp?productid=1180304&affid=673)... a Toshiba Satellite 1905.

I had them bump up the RAM to 512MB before I brought it home (the extra 256 cost me $99), and I also purchased a full-install copy of Windows 2000 Professional... I won't have that XP shit in my house. No fucking way.
So as soon as I got it home, I started it up to make sure everything worked, and then I formatted C: and installed Windows 2000 Pro over the top of it.
The only problem with that was DRIVERS, goddammit! :evil:
The stupid driver CDs that came with the computer were all intended for Windows XP, and wouldn't install on Win2K at ALL! Man, but that pissed me off!
I finally found most of the drivers I needed after digging around Toshiba's website for a while (the Win2K versions of them), but I still think it's stupid that I had to do that... when it all boils down to it, what works on XP should work on 2K, since they're basically the same kernel, just with the Fisher Price garbage added to dumb down the XP interface, right?
Aside from the anti-user.... Oops, I mean anti-piracy junk programmed in.
Anyway, it's a pretty slick machine. I also got it for 24 months no interest, and I also have a $300 mail-in rebate coming to me, so it's actually cheaper than the one I linked to.

Actually, Windows XP isn't half as bad as you think it is. The startup interface is crap. Really, it is. But you can take a few minutes to get rid of that stuff and have it look and feel exactly like Windows 2000. It's a rather good operating system once you get past the gay part of installing it.
I have a "copy" of it if you want to try it out. :roll:
-
When I disable, uninstall, strip away, and de-bloat and de-gayify everything I hate and despise about XP, what I'm left with is basicaly Windows 2000, except for a few things that I can't get rid of, which pisses me off.
So why bother with XP to begin with? I'll stick with Win2K, thanks.

The CD's they can't back up they bring here and swear the yammie is the only reason I can back them up and they can't.

The fan is moving, and was moving during that picture. It only looks like it stopped because when the picture was taken "time was stopped".
Oh, I've put together this page (http://www.gotthegeek.com/newspro/static/view.php?file=comptour.txt) with a few more pictures of crap around my LAN.

I managed to stop time once: I went around switching people's hats with smaller hats of the same style and make so that when time started again, they'd think their heads had grown or their hats had shrunk. Man, that was fun.

It's pretty cool actually. I had bought my boyfriend the TDK veloCD 24/10/40 CD-R/RW Drive, and mine out performs it at 20/10/40. ::shrug::
-
Indeed. Mine has always done well by me. The brother in law (who isn't very computer literate) went and bought him a TDK. He was so pissed when he still couldn't backup the discs that I can. Heheh
The only reason that I bought the Liteon (rebadged buslink with Smart-burn on the box) 52/24/52 was it was on sale for 35 bucks.

Built this system after months of arguing and deliberating with my classmates - it's hard when you go to an arts college with row upon row of leased macs to convice people that even though it's not aqua flavoured, that you can do it cheaper and just as good.
I'm just going to paste directly from the sales invoice for a couple of things.

and the most important things, my wacom, my Canon 10d digital cam, and the Epson 2200.
as for operating systems, I run XP Pro, despite a few people's efforts to get me to switch to Linux. Opera is my favourite browser in the whole world.
A few classmates shit themselves when I told them I did it for the cost of a low end G4 - but I got monitors with mine.
-
The A7V8X is a good motherboard, I used to use that board for my domain controller, onboard RAID as well as on board gigabit NIC, good stuff.

I must confess that I know next to nothing about it, and went on the advice of a friend after he had a look at my VidCard and processer choices. I know very little about motherboards in general.

alright you studs, this is the system I'm going to build. Is everything correct? I'm a little iffy about the motherboard and processor. I dont know much about those things. Please help me out babes....

PROCESSOR - AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 1 MB L2 Cache, the Only 64-bit Windows Compatible Processor - OEM
....... what do we think of 64-bit. I have fans for this, but does my Mother come with a heatsink? What the hell IS a heatsink?
Did i do good?
-
Video: I beleive the ATI Radeon 9800 XT is slighty better.
Board: That's a great motherboard. Good brand. However, I didn't notice if it has firewire. You can always add that later on using a PCI slot, but since you're buying new, try to get it built in.
The CPU... 64 bits makes me drool. Just because it's 64 bits. But then I come back down to earth and realize that it won't do much of a difference since there's no 64 bit O/S out yet. I'd wait for MS longhorn to come out and for more 64 bit applications and games to hit the shelves before paying the extra money for a CPU that won't get used to it's full potential.
Sound: On board sound is alright, but if you are into gaming or want to watch DVD's on the PC, get a creative labs 5.1 or 7.1 sound card and speakers to go with it. You'll get an orgasim when you hear the sound that comes out of that box.
CD/DVD: Any need for a DVD burner?
Hard Drive: Consider getting two drives. Obviously you don't need the extra space with a 250 Gig drive, but when that baby crashes, you'll be really pissed. (Unless you had a second drive to back up critical shit...)
Modem: If you can afford a PC like that, you can afford high speed internet. No need for a modem.
A heat sink is a cooling unit that sits directly on your CPU. You absolutly want to get the best heatsink you can get. It's one of the most critical componements. CPUs don't like heat. A good heatsink and case fans will ensure that your CPU will not be damaged by heat.
Anyway, it's really up to you and your budget. This sucker is going to be expensive, but worth it regradless.
-
Hey, Judgie...she's 17. She gets high speed internet if her parents buy it.
However, CherryBomber, if you go to university, you will undoubtedly have a high speed connection. Make sure you have a NIC/Ethernet card.
-
Yeah, Microsoft Shoehorn will be great to have on your PC.
If you want DRM infesting every fricken file on your computer.
No thankyou.
There are already Linux and BSD kernels that have support built in for 64-bit architecture. And they won't tell you what files you can and can't have access to on your own goddamn computer.
SuSE, Mandrake, Red Hat and Slackware all have 64-bit versions that are ready, up and available now. Granted, there aren't many desktop applications (for any OS) that take advantage of 64-bit processors yet, but they're coming down the pipe pretty fast.
Longhorn won't likely be available (and patched up like every other half-assed MS project) until 2006 at the very earliest.
And I've read that they're wanting to push it back as far as 2008.
-
Hey, Judgie...she's 17. She gets high speed internet if her parents buy it.
Haha! Damn straight. But I live out in the boonies; I dont think high speed is even an option here.
It has 2xIEEE1394 (that's firewire right??), 8110S Gigabit Ethernet, and Realtek ALC655 6-Channel Audio Codec. I guess the sound doesnt really have to be jizz-worthy, but it's going to be of decent quality right? I also have the Sony DVD +-RW/+-R external blah blah burner. As for an extra hard drive, I'm going to back that up with the computer I'm using right now and a 30GB mp3 player I have.
heatsink : http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-150-027&catalog=62&depa=0
Excuse me for bing a dipshit, but i put this right over the processor?
Thanks!
-
Make sure it's seated properly on the processor. Pretty much perfect contact is necessary in order for heat transfer to take place at the rate that's needed to keep the chip from burning itself out the first time you use it.
There's a kind of heat sink goo you'll want to smear on the contacting surface of the processor before putting the heat sink in place as well. It's a thermally conductive compound that makes it easier to ensure you have a good contact between the two surfaces.
You should be able to get some of that at newegg too, I would think.
EDIT
Here you go, I just found exactly the stuff you'll need for that: Thermal paste (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=35-126-002&depa=0)
-
Sounds like you're all set.
Yes, the heatsink goes right over the processor. You may want one of your tech-savvy friends to help you put it all together, just to be safe.
EDIT: Mmm....I love thermal paste. Just don't get it on your hands, clothes, carpeting, or anything else except the top of the CPU/bottom of the heatsink. That shit sticks to everything.
-
score- the paste is included.
I love you guys!

I love you guys!
I'd say I love you too celeste, but you're just 17.

hah - whateva'
-
say.... is there anything I can used to instead of heatsink paste?
-
Why not use the paste?
-
it's messy! i guess it doesnt really matter, i just want to know what else it out there - if anything.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Hey that's no joke... I actually have one of those, and it still works! :)
I mean, it's not my main machine or anything, but I still think it's kinda cool that it's functional.
-
I'd like a 386 to play all those old games that XP fuxx0rs up.
-
If I could find a way to get a CDROM drive installed in this thing without blowing the power supply, I'd be stylin'.
But as it sits, the only way I can get games on it is to use games that don't require a CD in order to run them.
And even then I have to zip them across a bunch of froppy disks to get them on the thing. It doesn't even have a network card in it, and no open slots (ISA or otherwise) in which I could install one....
Otherwise I'm pretty sure I could run games off of a shared CD drive on my file server over my network.

Why does my image host not work?!

They probably don't allow off site linkage.
EDIT: When I try to hit the URL directly, I get a "forbiden" message. That's prolly why.

What's the brand of your motherboard?

So the GF's new system is an Albatron KM18G Pro board (http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/it/mb/specification.asp?pro_id=49) with just about everything on board. With Duron 1300 CPU and 512MB of DDR 333 RAM. 64MB of which is dedicated to the onboard GeForce4 MX video card.
Not the fastest thing on the block but a definate step up from her Duron 600 and nearly 10 year old ATI All in Wonder with 4MB onboard.

Sorry guys/gals.... you were right I hit new thread not reply.

Yeah. I've been holding off upgrading till the socket 939 stuff stabilizes. Probably go for an Nforce 4 board when they come out at the end of the year.

Old Asus motherboard
486-dx2 66mhz processer
16mb ram
2x cd rom drive
Vesa 2.0 compliant SVGA card
soundblaster 16
500 meg hard drive
3.5 inch floppy drive
5.25 inch floppy drive
nearly dead monitor which won't go above 640x480
Sound is rigged in to a 40 something year old Sony TC-200 reel to reel tape deck that I've rewired as a straightforeward stereo amp.
(the mechanics were completely seized. Rather than fix them , I opted to build a stereo out of it)
It plays Rammstein really loudly while running wolf3d. What more could I want?

I've finished building my new system. Here's the basic rundown:

256mb GeForce 5500
SoundBlaster Live (oldie but a goodie)
16x Memorex DVD Rom
12x Sony Dual Layer DVD Burner
1.44 beloved floppy drive
Gigabyte system board with 8 USB 2.0 ports+3 Firewire
It's much faster than my old one. :)

I'll be building a new desktop system for myself probably in a year or so... what'd your setup run you and where did you get most of the components?
-
I wound up paying about $1300 for the whole thing. I'm kind of an impatient man, so I bought almost all my parts at Fry's instead of wanting to wait for them to arrive via Internet purchases. I probaby could have shaved a few hundred off if I bargain shopped.

That's still pretty encouraging. I'm planning on bargain shopping for most components, though I'd like to find a nice tower-motherboard-power supply setup all in one shot if I can, just to save some trouble.
I'm definitely going with a 64-bit processor though.
-
The modular power supplies are nice, but the cables are actually pretty tough to bend. They had a 500w modular supply on sale for $75 after rebate, which is screaming deal. I was just lucky that it was on sale the day I decided to go in. I didn't really plan this one too much. Kind of just threw it together on a lark.

I just had this donated to me. So far, it works great!

Whatever sound card the Mac uses built-in.
The only thing I can think of that needs upgrading is the Video Card. It works pretty well so far.

So is that Cube maxed out for hardware? Or can you do any upgrading at all on it?
I thought those were pretty cool as a concept; it surprised me that hardly anyone bought them.

Yeah i fogot to mention that, I did upgrade the ram and hdd already, it came with a 20 gig hdd, and if I get around to it I am going to add the Sonnet 1.2ghz cpu upgrade into it. The nice thing about the mac mini is that it will have a faster bus, comes with OS 10.4, and is small. I would keep the cube as my music machine because of the hard drive space and use the Mini for everything else. OR i might just get OS 10.4 for the Cube and add the Giga Design 1.8ghz cpu or like the Power Logix 1.4 cpu. It depends on what I want. The one thing I like about the cube is how you take it apart.
-
That sounds like a good plan (using the Cube as a music machine).
One of the things about the upcoming Apple-Intel situation that intrigues me is the notion that future Intel-based Mac Minis might be bridging the gap between gaming consoles and personal computers.
I wouldn't mind one of those suckers in my living room, connected to my TV. 8)

HAHAH yeah that is why I think I will upgrade ethe cube and get my hands on a Intel Mac Mini that could possibely have a 2.6 - 3.0 ghz proccessor in it. That would just rule, so I think for now I am going to just upgrade the Cube's CPU.

Bought it 2 weeks ago, no complaints so far apart the graphic card bitchin.
HD is unfortunetly already full but even with all the shit installed and downloaded I haven't had a single crash yet.
HP media Center PC m7067c, I'd suggest it to anyone wanting a reliable comp.

It took me about a week (and five trips to Fry's) to get this running, but I fianally did and it was SO rewarding!
After I get the dual graphics cards running, I'm planning on getting a 30" Sony HDTV to run it on :D :D
-
Good for you... it's worth doing if you can handle the details, if nothing else because you learn a bunch and end up knowing a lot more about your own system that way, and it's usually cheaper that way as well.
Looks like you built a pretty good machine.
-
I built both of these computers myself, :D ,Demosthenes is right, building your own is better, cause you can customize it more and its cheaper.It helps to know what your doing though. Anyways here are my specs

What's with the sudden influx coming in to brag about their modded cases?

My case isn't modded, but I think it looks pretty darn nice for $50.

That's the "new" version of it, I guess. Mine looks exactly the same, it's just that the front looks a little different and I have one more fan. And mine cost less.

Well, okay, I have been nursing this thing along with upgrades since '98. and I have a REAL computer back in the bedroom if I want to play games.
Truthfully, for a utility machine, who needs anything more? I built it, I maintain it, I fix it when it has a cold... it's my baby.

Nothin' to be ashamed of. I've had "Damnthing" as my utility computer since '99. It's a PIII 450 with 389mb of RAM running Slackware 10.1. It's still chuggin' along just fine on that. I figure I'll keep running it and it will keep serving its purpose until the hard drive gives out or the power supply, whichever comes first.

SLI doesn't do THAT much, anyhow. With lower-end cards it does, I suppose, but the difference between 1 and 2 7900GTX's is trivial, at best. Now, 4 7900GTX's does show a noticeable improvement over 1, but it's still not really worth the money unless you're rolling in cash.
My opinion: Don't blow any major cash on a vid card between now and DirectX 10.

Don't hate me.
I built my last 3 rigs from scratch. It's damned hard getting decent parts brought into the island, so I either bought it in during trips, or risked damage (a fairly regular occurrence) shipping the parts in. The last one was a 2.8 gig P4 (I know, AMD's better), with a gig of ram, GeForce 6600GT vid card, and 300GB SATA drive. It went pop (lightning storm), and I ended up buying a Dell Dimension 9150 in sheer frustration. I popped in my wireless card and HDD, and bought a GeForce 7600GT to replace the crappy card it came with. I also upgraded it to 2GB ram. Next time, I'll probably build from scratch again- I just didn't want to wait 2-6 weeks for the parts! :roll:

cHtHuBing left when I asked him why his pictures were hosted on someone else's server and displayed as someone else's computer on Neowin's forums. He never responded even though I saw him online afterwards, so I assume he was ashamed of being caught out over something so incredibly lame as leeching computer pics and claiming them as his own.

Just got this (http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=D-SA2200BB3-K4&cat=BBK&cpc=BBKbsc)... well, just purchased. It hasn't got here yet. I've never heard of Biostar; the mobo, but hell, there's $180 worth of hardware there; not counting the mobo and cpu. It'll be replacing the machine that just died - not sure yet if it's the mobo is fried, or my two AMDs are fried. (I tried two different procs in it). It was a Soyo KT333 with an AMD 1.3G T-bird. Pretty much the same setup. A little bit slower processor, I think, though I doubt I'll be able to tell.
All-in-all; I think it was a good deal. I'll of course have the RAM and video card, etc from the fried one to pop into the new one. Hopefully everything'll go smoothly.
-
I've used biostar mobos before. Actually, I think I'm running one right now. They are not the top end, but the best bang for the buck. Never had problems with them.
-
Cool. While I wasn't really worried, it's still nice to hear the words "never had a problem". :-D
I don't need anything near high-end for this machine. It will be the one Im on the most; but all I ever have running at one time is Winamp, Photoshop, Notepad, Firefox, a windows explorer window, and SmartFTP. That's when I'm on a posting binge, lol. Plus I'm real picky about what services and processes I allow to run in the background - even system processes, etc. Unneccessary crap gets shut down; partially neccessary crap gets changed to "manual", etc., etc., so there's very little resource loss overall. So this board/cpu combo should do the trick, I believe. If not; I can always purchase a better board/cpu package, and drop it in either this new machine, or in the "old" one that's being replaced.
I'm certain it's a Cooked CPU or a melting mobo. I had tried to barely touch the edge of the CPU fan to knock off this piece of lint that was mocking my blowing efforts. I've done this many, many times before, only this time I didn't realize the angle of my fingertip and the fan blades were wrong. In other words; instead of laying my finger on the blades with them spinning from fingerpad to fingertip and sliding right on off; I lay my finger to the blades backwards. So that the blades slammed right into my fingerTIP head-on :-: SNAP!!! Broke two blades off.
"Ok, no problem...dumbass." I thought, since I have four other CPU coolers w/fans. "I'll just get that other big one and snapperright on there." So I swapped them out, and when I powered back up; the BIOS POSTed, then I got one long beep, and it shut off. I've swapped the CPU out with another of the same; and it, too, craps out. So I'm not sure now if BOTH my CPUs are fried; or it's just the mobo that died. Regardless; it ain't booting up. So I've had to migrate to the little bitty comp I'm using now which originally was set up just to telecommute for work. It handles that fine (a VPN and two or three Remote Desktop connections); but for me to use as my "Main" recreational comp - it ain't cutting it. Can't wait for the new one. lol.
-
Hmm.
Now that I've spent the $$ and bought a new machine, it has occurred to me to ask one more question. Does anyone know if - since there's hardware monitoring on this board - the AMD cpu looks for a minimum RPMs from the cpu fanslot; and if you happen to plug in one, say, the next "bracket" down (it lists below what the AMD looks for) - will it refuse to boot?
:oops:
**edit - I'm not able to try this out for myself, as the other three coolers I have don't fit on this socket. My next step would be to swap the fan itself off the cooler, but this will require some engineering which I'd rather not do if it doesn't matter.
-
The new machine is up and running stable and fast. I'm happy. I can have a Flight Sim, a browser, Photoshop, and SmartFTP running. Not that I do normally; I just wanted to set it up beefy. The oddest thing was the wireless setup. It's a Linksys Wireless B/G Rtr, and I got a Linksys PCI wireless NIC ;antenna and all, and it wouldn't hook up using the (lol) "Secure Easy Setup"- their auto-setup thing, the card and router find each other and negotiate, etc. It worked fine with my laptop's built-in wireless. But not with a card of the same brand. I finally found how to turn that off; and set it up manually - works great now. :-D

This is the new system I am thinking about "adding to cart" from my newegg wish list:
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EX38-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X38
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (gonna get 4 gigs total)
Video card: EVGA GeForce 8800GT 512MB
HD: Western Digital Caviar 400GB 7200 RPM
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty
Power supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX ATX12V / EPS12V 750W
Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 Black Aluminum Bezel
Monitor: SAMSUNG 245BW Black 24" 5ms Widescreen LCD
Once I add on the various other details (disk drives, new keyboard, coolers, ect.) total cost is gonna be about $1800. Then after I recoup a bit I'm gonna get a second video card to SLI with and maybe a card reader and other extraneous stuffs.
I just have no idea what I am going to do with the tower I have. Thought about putting Linux on it, but I have no idea what I would do with it.

Wow. That's a sweet mobo.

My laptop finally died after 7 years. The Compaq Presario 2100 served me well, and it died of old age - and a power surge to the power supply system. While I contemplated a new laptop, I decided that I really don't need a laptop because I don't really ever take it anywhere. And, if I do want to use a laptop for whatever reason, I have this, my work laptop.
I'm pretty sure I'll notice a difference in speed from my AMD 1.8Ghz 1Gb laptop.

I have two 19 inch flat screens from Hanns-G. One of them came with a dead pixel, which was kind of disappointing since you can't return it with just one dead pixel.
Overall, it looks to be a well-rounded system for business purposes (Web browsing, word processing, porn, etc.)

Thanks for the feedback, Chris. That's exactly what I'm going to be using it for. I don't play games on the computer because, if I did, that's all I would do... ever. Addiction. Feh.
-
What OS are you going to be putting on this? XP? Vista? Some flavor of Linux?
-
XP and some flavor of linux - probably Slack.
Though, I have licenses for EVERY MS OS going back to 3.1, so I have my pick, there.

I'll let you borrow my MS-DOS 6.0 install floppy disks if you ask really nice. :-D

What are the rules for this thing? I have at least 4 desktops and 2 laptops in the house...
-
Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules!
Oh, and the parts arrived today. I just finished putting it together. It's quite nice. One benefit that I think I'm going to take advantage often of is included with this motherboard. It has a 5-second boot-to-internet built in OS so that you can quickly jump online and chat (IM)/send email/browse the web etc.
