New Computer!!!!

[Dynotrick]

[font=Arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=-1]My new computer! And I got Office XP Pro 2003 for $70 today. Finally coming into the 21st century, this is the replacement for the old 550mHz that I've been keeping alive for way to long now. Should come tomorrow but I won't be able to set it up till next week cause we are going to Boston for Thanksgiving.

Welcome to the 21st. =)

 

[Dynotrick]

well what i wanted to build was an athion 64 3500+ with the Abit 3rd eye motherboard but the cost was about $1200 for just that w/ 512mb ram. this way I'm getting the DVD burner and the 17" LCD and stuff for less. The next one will be built the way I want by me. This is to get me by for a couple years till I do that.

 

[Dexter]

Gee , how did i know someone was going to come in here and show thier big e-dick? not everyone wants to or can build thier own...let em be

 

[Newf]

in "theory" I could build a machine cheaper or at least better for the same price as most dell's

But, in practice it never ends up that way. I always end up spending more because I am weak, and can't say no to cool tech geeky type toys


example. I built my machine in August. I couldn't get a 6800 GT vid card then. So, I got a 9800 pro. The 9800 pro is fine. Runs everything great, and at 1280x1024 too. You'd think that would be good enough.

Nope, I'm now trying to sell it, and get a 6800gt from eVGA or BFG

I have no will power when it comes to cars, and electronic toys...and playboy models

Gee , how did i know someone was going to come in here and show thier big e-dick? not everyone wants to or can build thier own...let em be

(mswerd) he also gets warranty.

WELCOME!


I feel your joy. Last week I finally got my computer up and running again on Win XP. My old ATI All-In-Wonder 128 AGP card finally works again after 3 years of not giving a damn. You see, I was running Win 98 on my system like 3 years ago with a Ricoh DVD/CDW drive. Everything was great. Then I decided to upgrade to XP (like when it 1st came out), and my TV Tuner functions stopped working, and my DVD drive stopped working. Went to ATI.com, and got the drivers that were supposedly supposed to work. They didn't. So I went to Win 2K server. That didn't solve my driver problems as you can imagine. So for 3 years, I just said **** it. Then a couple of months ago, my hard drive died. Lukily I have a file server where I have my important stuff stored. I went to Fry's looking for a 80GB HD, but walked out with a 120GB HD. A couple of weeks later, I found the time to sit down and install XP again, and then I went looking for the drivers for my card again. Amazingly enough, my TV Tuner worked again!! Now the only issue was the fact that I have no sound! I guess whatever took out my HD, took out my SB PCI512 card as well. Well, when I had to replace the motherboard a few years back I made sure it had a built-in sound card exactly for this purpose. So now, I'm back into computers again, and am finding out that I'm a few years behind. I mean, I have had like 768 MB of RAM for like 3 years, but it will run out soon...!! (evil)

I used to work at DELL, and still have a lot of friends working there. I might be able to hook you up with some discounts...maybe. Although that system will ship very quick from DELL so I don't know if there is enough time..

[Dynotrick]

I think I got a good deal. I used a 25% off and got the free 17" LCD and upgrage to 512RAM. The system priced at over $1400 before the coupon and would be even more without the LCD promotion.

I have an ATI AIW128pro 32mb AGP - it's in a P3 850 with 384MB RAM. I'm selling it to a friend for $200. He wants to do video capture with it - and it does a pretty good job.

Just figured I give a shout about the old school AIW 128 cards!

That video card?????? - eek.

Oh, and I'm just curious if anyone here has more computer stuff than I do. I won't go into all the details, but I have 2.5TB of HD space - anyone come close?

 

[Moeed]

Does stuff at my work count ?

 

[Micah]

No - If that was the case - I'd still probably win. I work for Horizon Blue Cross Blue Sheild. They are a major health insurance carrier. I also work for a medium sized investment company. I also work for a small coffee/office supply distributor... I work too much.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Hahah! If we were going by jobs, you should try mime. I am the sys admin of a few HP Superdomes that have over 2 TB each!! There are also thousands of other servers (Sun, HP, Linux, AIX) that have comparable space. Our datacenter is like the size of a NFL Football Field.

Cool man! Yeah, that's the exact card I have (32mb, not pro though ). When I upgrade cards, I'm gonna move it over to one of my Linux Servers.
