52x32x52 Sony CD-Burner
Nvidia 32 MB Graphis Card

About the only cool thing is the case. I tagged it all up and then sprayed a glossy primer on my tag work, so now the computer and the shell of the monitor look like something that should sit right next to an 80's subway car. 

got any pics sounds cool i was gona get my gf to do a nice bit of art on my case

Last year before the new Astahost thingy came up I posted a similar question.

Here is my pc's specs (I upped it alot from last year)

-1gig of ram

-no sound card

-150 GB HD

-Speakers suck (what do you expect with the rest of the computer costing so much)

That is my computers specs (Godly right?) It took me 2 years to save up for that and I actually worked for it, I didn't mooch off of my parents.

Hard Drive is an 80 GB Maxtor ..i dont remeber the details.

It has inbuit Nvidia Gforce 4 mx video card. I have three memory modules amounting to 1 gb of RAM ..of which i use 64 Mb for internal VGA. I also have TV in / out tuner radio and firewire and USB 2.0 support. By all means its a kick ass system..but its more targetted for Desktop use and not gaming

I also happen to have two SOny VAIO laptops lying around but I use and love my AMD more cause i built it.

1. Your first computer? - Old school PC systems, what was your first!? (66)

   I remember my first PC. We had a Tandy 1000 EX, and it ran off of 256k memory. We had an old green
   grey black and white monitor that ran louder than any other appliance! Everything was MSDOS, and if
   it weren't for preprogrammed games, we would run them from the DOS prompt. I guess it was
   pretty reliable, but the newer systems at the time were all for play, and my parents thought it was
   best to get some other usage out of it. We did a lot of Basic programming, but we used to play
   King's Quest and RPG games like that back then. At school, we began to play wit...
