Wow, Skyone's computer is even better than mine which is brand new and pretty damn good itself.
2.4 gig Core2Duo (6600)
2 gigs RAM
GeForce 8600 (DX10)
HOWEVER I also have a full terabyte of SATA-II hard drive space and dual 24" widescreen Dell LCD's. Oh yeah. 1920x1200x(2), that's right. It's like 42 inches of monitor, literally. Great for designing and multitasking!
I have a pretty good MB so if I ever find a thousand bucks laying around I could aways throw in a quad-core extreme.
Funny to think in 2000 (when I built the original Atari) I still had a 200mHz Pentium 1, 96 megs of RAM and a 1.4 gig HD.

What? Even the cheapest CRT can beat most LCDs. No blur and dark blacks and bright whites. Only thing LCDs have on them is size and power consumption.Felino wrote:I hate CRT screens, they make my eyes hurt, and are big and clunky... lcd / tft ftw!

My computer is pretty.
http://usbcd36.homedns.org/G5
(click on the picture to cycle through the images)
Power Mac G5
Mac OS 10.4.9
dual-core 2.3 GHz PowerPC 970 (G5)
1.5 GB DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM
250 GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive (29.44 GB available)
16x DVD±R/RW DL optical drive
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256 MB
Kensington Orbit Trackball
23" Apple Cinema HD Display (1920x1200)
Klipsch ProMedia GMX D-5.1 (connected through Toslink output)
Not exactly a gaming computer, but it's not bad for video editing. Still gets blown away by the new Intel Macs at that, though…

Here's my 1GHz Celeron rig OC'd to 1.27-ish GHz, w/ 256MB of RAM. (I know there's another PC133 stick somewhere, just have to find it)
http://www.mtac.profusehost.net/misc/pi ... mpdesk.jpg
http://www.mtac.profusehost.net/misc/pi ... /shiny.jpg
Next week, I'm thinking of installing that other PC133 stick (If I can find it), a wifi card that will actually work w/ my Ubuntu install, & not just my Win2K install (damn crappy Buffalo brand, always sucking & whatnot). Also a good PCI VGA card that I can actually find drivers for.

BAWLS is an amazing drink. Those bottles were a pain to create, though. Glass is a hard substance to drill through, and on both, the bottoms cracked off and had to be cyano-acrylite glued back on.Mikeyman64 wrote:Lovin' the Cathode Bottles.usbcd36 wrote:My computer is pretty.

That was before you were famous. And people was paying you to do your hobby. And had companys ask you to help to design their product. Some Inside and Out.
