I am very bored today. I have a question that everyone of you can answer. I know for the fact that every single one of you here are using a computer to get on the forum. So I want to ask a few questions:

What CPU do you have?
How much ram?
How fast is your hard drive?
Operating system?
internet connection?

And video card.


I want to see if the "postwhores" have good computers....

BTW, I am a postwhore!

 

What CPU do you have? Celeron 366 (Slot 1) @ 462 MHz
I'll upgrade to PIII when I need it.
How much ram? 384 MB PC133
How fast is your hard drive? 30 GB IBM 75GXP 7200rpm
Operating system? Win98
internet connection? AT&T Cable modem
And video card. Leadtek Geforce DDR 32MB overclocked of course

My system isn't the fastest but it runs Counter-Strike well enough

 

check out my other thread - http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=52751

it has my system specs and my case mods... yea, case mods

 

My dev machine.
i933/512M CL2/2x30G promise RAID, + another 40G, all ibm7200
w2k pro, Asus GF2 GTS.

my second machine controls my phone system and security cameras. its about the same as above but with w98 (apps not 2k compatible) and with a GF2MX400. I have that on a KDS LCD flat screen that I scooped up from Office Depot for $395 (no rebates or anything)! helluvadeal. it sits in the den and I didnt want a tube monitor taking up space.

all wired with DSL via router.

the laptop needs a 803.11 card, but I just havent sprung for that yet.

 

Bought time some mentioned our fast a$$ gateways to the internet.

PIII 700 overclocked to 933
256Mb of Crucial PC133
15Gb IBM 75GXP
Win 2000
Road Runner Cable modem
Hercules GeforceMX
and some serious case mods (for heat and noise reduction)

 

I kinda went the other way.. I cant stand the sound of the fans... so I got 2 Enermax 365 whisper powersupplies and PCpower and cooling ultra quiet low rpm CPU fans.

then I dynamatted the cases (Extreme). you can *barely* hear the drives accessing. just the way I like it.

I monitor the temps with a Digital Doc 5 just incase the extra insulation and lower RPMs fans start looking for trouble.

 

heh, my case sounds like a jet...

i tried sound deadening stuff, but it only stopped vibrations... too much noise coming outta my fans

my ears eventually got used to the loud BUZZZZZ, but my friends havnt

quiet fans were too weak for me

 

LOL! It's great to see that the car guys don't just mod their cars, but their computers....

I have a 700mhz Athlon @ 950mhz
128MB PC133
20GB ATA66 7200 IBM
Ati Rage Fury (2 yrs old, but still 80fps @ 800x600)
SB live value
3com Network card

I just killed my Geforce a few days ago. So I went out and bought a MX400.

My 2nd system:

BTW dooball, do you hang out at madonion? They banned me for flaming over the "AMD vs Intel" issue. Nic case dooball. how did you get the color? I couldnt find them!

 

LOL dooball, I see that diablo 2 case in your picture! I think you should do some business on ebay with diablo 2!

My bro found all these cool items that he is selling on ebay. He started 3 days ago and now he has 300 bucks in his paypal account just selling diablo 2 weapons.

I am planning to take some of his money (I know his paypal password) and order me a FSTB!

 

what kind of neon tube is that, and how'd you wire the power? looks nice. especially with the antec.

Soon to be Athlon 1.2GHz (133MHz FSB) overclocked to ~1.4GHz on an Abit KT7a. 256MB PC150 Crucial memory and a new case coming with that.

 

just wondering, why do you guys have fast computers? What games do you guys play?

 

its not a neon. its a cold cathode rod, which is MUCH brighter. it got a prebuilt kit from www.pcmods.com . you can easily convert a car neon for pc, just buy a molex connector and some other parts from radioshack.

cold cathode was a bit different, and pcmods knew what they were doing.

as for my 'fast' pc, i do alot of web/design work, and im a big gamer. im not a play-sometimes-gamer, I AM HARDCORE!!! 2 time XTGL 1v1 RocketArena3 champion! i know alot of people in the pro q3 scene as well. i also work for gamespy, and if anyones going to quakecon, i'll be their

my hand-eye cooridination helps alot when driving

eventually, ill convert to Apple/Mac. with nvidia jumping into the mac scene, its a matter of time until every company is making pc/mac software & hardware at the same.time.

Well, my friend came to me and asked me to help him design his next gaming rig. This is what I designed for him and he built it.

Enlight 7230 Case w/ 300W Enlight PSU
AMD 1.33 Ghz Athlon T-Bird
OCZ Gladiator Pure Copper w/ Black label Delta
OCZ QuickSilver Thermal Grease (Just as good as Arctic Silver2)
ABit KT7A-Raid
512 MB PC 133 SD RAM
Elsa Geforce2 Ultra
2x 40GB IBM Deskstar HDD @ 7200 RPM, ATA-100, and 2 MB Buffer in a Raid-0 config
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Platinum with Live! Drive
Creative 12x10x32 CD-RW
Creative 16x DVD-ROM
3Com EtherLink 10/100 3C905C-TX-M
19" Monitor
Windows 98 SE
I forgot what speakers he used.
Pacbell DSL Connection

Well, as you can see, that's a damned fast rig. I wish he was into overclocking, cause I would take that baby up to 1.55 GHz. The Heatsink/Fan/Thermal Grease combo is one of the best out there for the price, so I hope he does something with that great cooling setup. himSome of you may wonder where the DDR SDRAM went, the reason I opted out of the DDR was that he has budget constraints, he wanted 512MB of it, no super stable motherboards were out for DDR at the time (that's why I went with the ABit), and that DDR's performance increase of 10-15% didn't justify the many problems that getting DDR would create. So, we went with PC 133. We went with Raid-0 to try to eliminate the HDD bottleneck that many computers have. Man, that computer is a dream.
:: Drool::

Damnit, now I just remembered to ask him if he got an AXIA core...

my ipaq gets love too, though

 

How did you get a dual G4 800Mhz system already? They were just announced last Wednesday, and I thought they weren't shipping till September? Do you mean it's on order?

Anyway...
What CPU do you have?
PowerMac G4 Cube
How much ram?
576Mb
How fast is your hard drive?
20Gb, 5400rpm
Operating system?
MacOS 9.1
internet connection?
56k modem
And video card?
ATI Rage 128 Pro

 

Now, let's see... give me some time to count

A total of 9 machines:

- My main box:

Athlon 1200 running at 1400 (modded heh)
512 Micron RAM, PC133
40 GB 7200 Rpm hard drive
Running Windows ME on this one (gaming box)
Cable modem
video: Guillemot 3D Prophet 2 Ultra - 64 MB dual - VGA + DVI
21" SUN monitor (essentially Sony trinitron) + 21" Nanao monitor
CD/RW, DVD... the usual

Other machines:
(most of them with 256 RAM)

- 2 SUN Ultra boxes running Solaris 8
- 2 SUN Sparc (5 & 20) running Solaris 2.6 and 8
- 1 200 MHz Intel machine running FreeBSD
- 1 450 Mhz Intel machine running Windows 2K
- 2 laptops - Dell (650 Mhz P3 running Win 2K & Freebsd, and an old Toshiba 166 Mhz)

a couple more monitors (one 19", one 17"), 2 Cisco routers, 1 Netgear Cable/DSL router, several switches and hubs, and enough cable to wire half a block

Fun, eh?


Oh, btw... if anyone plays Unreal Tournament or Counter Strike online, gimme a buzz.

 

Oops, sorry. I wrote that post a little fast, left out one small detail

What do you mean they won't be out until September? I was told a couple days!!!

I just picked up a PowerMac G4/733 on June 30th and then I seen the dual 800 so now the 733 is in it's box and going back to compusa restocking fee and all!

Are you sure it won't be until September? Do you know of a specifc date?

I also have a 17 inch flat panel studio display sitting in the box.... I only used the 733 for 2 and a half weeks.

 

What CPU do you have? PIII 7333
How much ram? 512
How fast is your hard drive? 5400, I know I need a new one but I haven't got around to geting a faster one yet
Operating system? win2000
internet connection? 56K, god I wish I had cable or DSL

 

well, no... but i'm pretty sure i read the 867Mhz powermac will be out in August (3-4 weeks) and the dual 800Mhz powermac after that (September) - that's why i was surprised when you said you had one. i'd call the Apple store to confirm shipping dates (probably more accurate that calling CompUSA).
17" flat panel is sweet! i got the 15" before the 17 was introduced.

 

It's a b*tch to overclock if the chip isn't unlocked already... My roommate tried bridging the L1s on his chip and you'd need a microscope to do it right. I would have gone with PC150 RAM b/c it would give slightly better performance if you overclocked. That's a great MB you got him though. I've heard of them running at 150-160MHz FSB daily with no stability problems. That's the exact chip cooler I wanted also...

 

AMD Thunderbird 750mhz @ 750mhz (hahaha)
256MB RAM PC133
30GB Maxtor ATA100 7200RPM
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer 5.1
Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet II MX (w/S-video output) 32MB SDR
Logitech 3 button mouse with scroller
quiet keyboard
Hewlett Packard 9300 series CDRW 10X write 8X rewrite 32X read
Sun microsystems/Sony 21" monitor flatscreen

 

you can buy 'overclocking strips' here - http://216.157.14.244/trace.htm

its cheating and takes the fun out of DYI'ing. but its clean, and neater than using a pencil.

Athalon 1400......256MegsRam 64Megddr videocard.......unfortunately these things had to come before Max mods...(sniff)......but in the end will assist with more Max mods (JOy!)

 

Many of you guys are running some kicka$$ systems with a TON of potential that's all being held back by crappy Win 9x based (95, 98, 98SE, ME) operating systems. You guys seriously need to upgrade to Windows 2000 Pro or even Windows XP, which is based off of 2k/NT.

Back when I was a computer geek in college. My computer had the most stuff shared out on Penn State's HIGHLY ILLEGAL local student network and I averaged over 1000MB of traffic per day and NO ****!!! Here are some shots of the action:

Here is my trusty network administrator, Pooh. He watched over the server while I was away at classes and the lab, and other things. Here he takes a break and poses for a shot.


Also, to scare away hackers I employed Cartman. Don't mess with Cartman - he'll f*ck you up!!


Oh yeah, the specs ;-)

PII-400 (never gamed, don't need massive CPU power)
256M PC100 RAM (BX motherboard)
Windows 2000 Professional SP2
56 GB of disk space across 3 drives
