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)

Dual bios Nvida Nforce 4 Mobo (has pci express, and was 100 bucks, which is WONDERFUL)

-Amd 64 3500 (939 pin)

-GForce 7800 Gtx with out vivo hookups

-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.

What type do you have?

[+] amd duron 1,6 - overclocked to 2,0 ghz
[+] Asus mainboard
[+] cca. 700 mb ram
[+] gainward geforce4 with 64 mb on it
[+] 80 gb maxtor hdd
[+] DVB-TV pci card
[+] thermaltake bigwater cooler
[+] MSI case
[+] DVD+RW pioneer
[+] CD+RW sony
[+] LG 710B 17" flatron screen
[+] MSI keyboard and mouse
[+] Lexmark 650 printer
[+] Altec Lansing 2+1 speakers

and that's about it... it works fine for me, Im pretty happy with it, but I would love to upgrade MBO, CPU, RAM, and graphics...

Wow - killer machine.

I think it's great that you earned the money for it yourself. I'm at a fairly large university that's filled with kids who act like Mom and Dad *owe* them laptops, musical instruments, tuition and fee money, an allowance (allowance?!), etc. It's nice to see someone else who'll go out of his/her way to work for something.

I'm not too much of a technical wiz. I know enough to get by, but when it comes to motherboards I can't tell the difference. I just know the basics, so here's what I know.

P4 2.6 ghz
1 gig ram
120 gb hard drive
geforce 4 4800 se *
sound blaster live sound card
altec lansin speakers


* I was wanting to replace my vid card, and was wondering what people around here see as the most efficent/price vid card now days. I'm open to suggestions from cards ranging up to $150-$175 or so. ATI or Nvidia seem to be the 2 major companies competing in the gaming industry (which is all I really need a high end vid card for)

My PC, Bubba....

AMD Athlon64 at 1.8 gigahertz
80-gig hard drive
512 megs of RAM
DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive
17" Proview monitor
Windows XP Home

....And I also have a Mac, who I've named Maclena. Sadly, her display is fried.....

600 MHz Motorola PowerPC G3
40 GB hard drive
256 MB of RAM
CD-ROM drive
built-in 15" monitor
Harmon-Kardon Odyssey speaker system (built-in)
Mac OS X 10.2

My machine that I'm sitting on right now is:

PIII 500Mhz
14 GB Seagate Harddisk
256 MB RAM
40x LG CD-Rom Drive
52x24x52 Benq CD-Burner
Nvidia 32 MB Graphis Chip onboard
10/100 Ethernet Card

but I have several other machines like 2 IBM Netvistas:

P4 2,0Ghz
40 GB IBM Harddisk
512 MB RAM
16xDVD Burner
16 MB Intel Graphics chip onboard
10/100 Ethernet Card

But is anybody really interested in what the exact details of other user's machines are?

Configured as Xgrid Agents (clustered system) & Screamernet II (lightwave rendering)

I've started a small side business on the weekends rendering Lightwave and FCP projects for small video production (mainly wedding video) companies that are behind. Give them a couple firewire 250GB external HDD's, they load their project files and then I render the projects to a master DVD for them at about $50 per project. When they finish editing, they can move onto the next project and in an afternoon I can render 2 - 3 of their back logged projects.

Then I have two freelance Lightwave artists that lease so many hours per month to render their medium projects. Same thing, send me the files and let me render so they can move onto the next project.

Gives me money to support my RC Airplane and Hockey habbits.

Im currently running
::733mhz Intel Celeron::
