and we're proud of it

 

HELL YEAH. I went with a P4 extreme because I basically stole it off ebay in a no reserve. Its an $1100 retail chip I got it for $570. the dual cores dont operate that high and truthfully there is nothing worth mention for software running 64bit. As for the 3k guess Wes...I WISH ;0

 

thats a sick price for such a sick processor. you're gonna luv that 1066MHz of FSB

 

and stay home most of the time playing online games. Like counter strike, Doom or Need For Speed Underground or some type of race type game.


Nice Systems u all have.

 

Let's see... My current system is a bit old... but this is what it is:

Lian Li PC60 aluminum case
Antec NeoPower 480w power supply
Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 CPU
Zalman CNPS7700 Copper HSF w/ 120mm fan
(2) Crucial Ballistix matched dual channel DDR-SDRAM CAS2 512mb modules
nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra
Creative Labs Audigy 2zs sound card
Western Digital Raptor 74gb 10k RPM SATA drive
Plextor PX-718a Dual Layer DVD+R/RW drive
Adaptec Internal 7-in-1 Card Reader with floppy drive
ViewSonic VP912b 19" LCD monitor

It runs pretty good... early BIOS for this motherboard was a bit shakey... CPU fan is quiet due to large blades and slow RPM...

I wasn't going to post this, but I didn't want to be left out of the Geek Club...

 

Gee I've been gone for a day and this is what I see when I come back. A thread which I supposedly started, or which was started on my behalf w/o permission. Jason, what are my rights in this case? Honestly I don't want anything fancy, on my old xp I had a zillion gigabytes of pictures and mp3s and it suited my needs just fine. I'm going to order a Dell one of these days, good to know I have a lot of trusty computer geeks on here to help me out

 

Dude, I got a dell.

 

These all sound like sweet systems ... but yeah way too much time infront of the screen. And ya'll still have time for your cars? Now what you need to do is combine the two love and put the PC in your car ... that way you can be a rolling GEEK!

CarPC Geeks unite!

 

Boy, all this puts my Radio Shack TRS-80 to shame.

 

Can't your old computer be repaired? Hopefully you could save your pictures and MP3's...

Maybe it just lost a power supply or something simple. I'll bet your buddy Escobar929 could fix it.

ps: they just came out with the new 2 zillion gigabyte drives... maybe it's time to upgrade anyway...

 

It's the motherboard, and it's fried. We opened it up to check. My power supply fan wasn't working to begin with, so I wouldn't even bother fixing the computer. I guess I can still burn everything on the HD on DVDs.

 

or just pull the HD out and plug into the new comp

 

+1.

 

+2

Just remember if she buys a Dell that they jumper all their drives as CS (Cable Select). You'll have to jumper her Primary as a Master and her old hard drive as its Slave.

 

+3

I just did this for a friend. Recoved her whole HD and made it a slave in her new unit. And no Dude she didn't buy a dell. But yeah all her word, JPEGS and what not were safe on her second hard drive. So what did we learn Surge Protectors aren't worth it ... Get a UPS.
