I use two Dells. One for online. One for work. I was thinking about self-build, but then I needed them sharpish and I had no time.

I have a self-built computer. It's old, and has quite 'bad' components, so I don't play any games with it (couldn't play Thief 3), maybe some old ones.

 

AMD Athlon "Thunderbird"

Asus A7V133-C (can't even find it on the Asus website!)

Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440

Isn't Alien-Ware like, super expensive?

I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

They are expensive...

But it's because they are extremely nice gaming computers... :thumbsup:

Also, It was a gift, I was going to buy/build one...

But then, much to my surprise, I received my PC...

Thats cool.

 

I can't play games on my computer, as it is a seven year old Dell with no upgrades.

Gromnir don't go top shelf when he builds no more... 'cause it just ain't cost effective and our needs is modest. always we target $1000, with room to upgrade later.

 

case: antec sonata ii

cpu: amd athlon 64 x2 3800+ (dual core)

mb: msi k8n neo4 sli (integrated soundblaster live)

memory: 2x512mb crucial ballistix pc3200 ddr dimm(s)

hd: seagate barracuda 200g 7200.8

graphics card: evega geforce 6800gs pci

optical: plextor 716 al (slot-load)

floppy: black teac

os: windows xp pro

 

all for just under $1000

 

took the duct out of the case so we could add in a thermalright xp-90 heatsink with a quiet 92mm fan for cpu cooling... is still damn quiet. the whole rig is an eye pleasing shiny black box that runs everything we can throw at it. at some point we will upgrade graphics by getting a second geforce 6800gs, but for now we don't seem to need it. and yeah, we will have to upgrade the ps if we wanna go with a full sli confi, but power supplies is not all that expensive... relatively speaking.

 

 

*shrug*

 

btw, is our first msi mb, and so far we likes. have always been an asus guy in the past, but we almost never oc, so we went with all the nifty features that the msi board gots for us average user kinda guys... have not been disappointed.

 

however, after we gots the seagate hd, sudden-like all our geek friends were mocking our stoopidness. "everybody" knows that the seagates burn out after 20 minutes, right? shucks. ain't had no issues yet, but is like a big cloud looming on the horizon, threatening rain... always.

 

any experienced folks got feedback on the seagates?

 

HA! Good Fun!

"I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem."

I've had two Seagate HDD's, both broke down within 6 months. My Maxtor HDD's have been excellent however, one is 6 years old and still running flawlessly.
