What's your computer(s)?

**Sonnie** · **05-05-06, 10:02 AM**

Custom Desktop
Kingwin ATX Case | OCZ Modstream 520W PS
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Nforce4 MB
AMD 64 3000+ ATHLON 939P CPU
Corsair XMS 2 X 512MB DDR SDRAM (PC3200)
WD Raptor 74GB SATA HDD
Gigabyte Geforce 6600 128MB DDR PCI-E x16 VC
NEC 3540A DVD Burner
Logitech MX Laser Mouse
Fuji Plus FP-988D 19" 12ms LCD

The above is my first home built computer and it is pretty nice.

La-z-boy Recliner
HP Pavilion DV8000z Laptop
60GB HD
1GB RAM
Logitech Mini Mouse
Widescreen

I use this one more than the desktop because I like sitting in my recliner. However, it has it's fair share of glitches. I had a Dell i9300 that I really liked better and sold it after I got this one. I like the HP because it has the number keypad on the keyboard and none of the Dell's have this. If Dell would make one with the number keypad I'd buy another one of those and sell the HP. The Dell's run so much smoother and cooler.

Office
Dell Dimension 9100
P4 3Ghz
1GB RAM
80GB SATA HD
Radeon X300 SE 128MB
CD-RW
Onboard Sound
Logitech MX Laser Mouse
Dell 1905FP 19" FPD

Nothing super special at the office but it gets the job done.

Running XP Pro on all three.

Originally built this one with thoughts of a HTPC but lack of range on the wireless KB and mouse coupled with having to use 800x600 on my 50" Sony (i have done some custom resolutions, but it's too hard to see from my seating position) I gave up on it, though I do hook it up to my HT occasionally (to play with REW). I have made it a number cruncher,...

The only computer really applicable to my home theater is the iBook 466SE, which I bought back in 1999. I use it for Apple iTunes over AirPort Express. It's a little slow starting up since it only has 192MB of RAM, but it's fast once iTunes is loaded.

**nova** · **07-11-06, 07:03 PM**

Good luck,.... so where did you score a Super Lanboy for $15 ? Did it come with a PSU? I thought I got a killer deal a couple years ago (about $39 brand new w/350 psu) when CC did a price match with Comp USA and threw in a rebate to boot.

Ancient dual XEON 800 with 2mb cache on a ASUS P2BXLS board with all SCSI 15K IBM 20x2GB drives in RAID with 1GB mem, latest is a core2duo E6400 machine with 2x350GB SATA-II in RAID with 4GB memory running XP64. The older machine runs XP32. Since I am a relic from the past, its CRT monitors for me and both are SONY 19".
