I have two laptops I did not mention.  A Texas Instruments P90 MMX, and an Acer 486DX100.


Obviously, I no longer use laptops for much.  Occasionally, I'll hook it up to use Excel.

... So, it is just my suped up desktop syst wanting a better case. I did find one from Antec that i fell in love w/...

Everyone has different tastes, and there are some delicious cases I simply can't even dream of being able to afford, but I found some really rockbottom-cheap cases on Newegg that I loved and built two systems in for my kids.  They love the cases, too: simple Raidmax steel boxes with one plexiglass side, w/o their cheapo power supply.  They have a very simple look, but they are cheap.

... If I build another PC for myself, I'll research the best lot of P4's (or the processor of the day) made and put it into a top notch mainboard for another system that smokes like this one.

Bonk, you might want to look at AMDs if you still do any numbercrunching; they do run fast and are better for floating point calculations whereas the Intels are better at integer math...

... and don't smoke motherboards, the PCBs and other crap will kill you quick and if they don't, it's another long detox that'll make using VMS on a mainframe or minicomp look fun.

I agree with Ed if I was in the market for a new system I would be going with AMD right now.  Much better built then those Intel LGA boards.

P IV 2.53 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, Radeon X800.   This gaming system is 3 years old and hopefully will be replaced this month.

2 GHz Pentium M Sager 3880 laptop.   BLOWS AWAY the PC mentioned above.

This is pathetic. Its not like i am asking for personal info and the such.

I just want to see who has what in the boses they have. sheeesh. ::)

So 24 hours after starting the thread you expect the world to have logged in and told you the info, RFLMAO!!!  Most of us only come here once maybe twice a week to see what is going on, learn some patience.  I was going to list my CPU but with this attitiude forget it!

Elite KAOS,

I think he was just kidding.  If you just log in every two weeks or so, you might miss the undercurrents of humor and the tenor of things around here.

Post your stuff if you want, don't post if you don't want.  This thread is easy, man.

See you in a month.

Nice chip (same as mine), but if you can, get another 512; I think I saw a decent price tonight on Newegg.

I'm using an AMD Athalon 1.4GHz Thunderbird processor that I bought when I first built my computer 4 years ago (one of the few remaining original parts of my computer, along with my CD Writer, floppy drive, RAM, case, and keyboard).  I'm planning on upgrading it to an Athalon XP 2800 processor pretty soon.  I don't want to go any higher because of my motherboard's limitations.
