Anyways…my desktop is either the beowulf clustered linux boxes @ the uni, or a nice little piii 800 w/ 128 mb ram & 120GB of space. Sure, it ain’t much, but write the progs @ home and transport via iPod to the uni.
Besides, starving students right? (well, with this baby, really starving students)
Well my main pc is a P4 3.0c Prometeia cooled on the processor and 9800pro watercooled on the gpu, but unfortunately has sat in a state of disrepair since about october as i haven’t had the time to tinker with it like i did last year, so i think i will be replacing it shortly with another SFF machine, hopefully an Athlon64 based Hoojum Cubit.
My secondary machine is the one i’ve mostly been using at home recently and is a Shuttle SB51G:
P4 3.0
512MB DDR PC2700
80GB WD HDD
Sapphire Radeon 9600xt Ultimate Edition
i use my old laptop and i love it as much as my sony.
i have the Presario 2800T bought 2 years ago almost and i m still so happy with it.
SPecs: P4 @ 2Ghz (not M) wished…
512 upgrades RAM
40 GB, 4200Rpm toshiba i thing hard disk
ati radeon 7500
15 inc TFT (not as crispy as sony though..)
You know, after a period of time when you adjust everything on you working computer and you skip all these anoying formats and reinstallations of OS you kind of love your machine. I only wished ther was a utility to eliminate all those useless DLL’s from my PC without my intervention..

As a matter of fact, I chose not to have flatscreens on that one. The colour contrast/definition of a TFT monitor is not accurate enough to allow colours to be clearly discerned from one another, even the newer 700:1 models.
Different tracks are represented by different colours, then there are subtle shading differences in the tracks themselves where edits have taken place. It just doesn’t stand out on a TFT monitor. For this reason I had to choose CRT monitors, as it is simply the better option. On my other “leisure” machine I have the double TFT setup, though…
[quote author=“gr00vy0ne”]Wow! That’s a lot of Dells and Gateways. :wink: And what is the function of each system? And do you have any particular naming scheme?
Lol…yeah its a lot of systems in general..lets just say my computer room, even with a fan and a/c, is always hot.
First, I am a developer, and I don’t like VMware and VPC so my PCs are on different OSs..from 95-xp with almost everything in between.
The 400sc was my server, after i just upgraded it, its my gaming machine. My other high end dell will become my sever (this is my next weekend project). The generic one is a print server/firewall. The Gateway with the dual burners is my CD copier…pumping out close to 12 CDs an hour (when I sell my software). My recently purchased iPaq will be another print server and file server. I have 3 printers I use daily…

Yeah…
Dellserver
Delldesktop
Dellold
Gateway1
Gateway2
generic
ipaq
acer
sony
ibm
dellnotebook
or something like that. I use a ton of 10/100 hardware lines and all my notebooks including my Clie and PS2 are wifi so at any given time I have upwards of 12 or more online deivces all pulling from one 5Mb connection.
Wow, some of you guys really are hardcore. I like to keep it real simple. 1 desktop, 1 laptop…no worries.
tifosiv122, you remind me of an old neighbor I used to have growing up who was always working on like 4-5 cars at once. We called him the “car junkie”. Sometimes he’d work on some nice classics and let us kids sit in them. :wink:
