Just curious to know what sort of PC everyone uses at home for personal use...mine is as follows...
Athlon XP 2600+
512MB RAM
40GB Seagate HDD
GeForce 4 Ti4200 128MB vivo
P4 2.53Ghz
2x512Mb DDR-2700 RAM (1Gb Total)
2x60Gb ATA-100 IBM Deskstar 7200RPM HDDs (upgrading to dual 250Gb in the new year :D)
128Mb ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Creative SB Live Platnium (never bothered upgrading as there really isn't anything that much better out now)
40x12x18 ASUS CD Burner
Pioneer A-06 DVD Burner
Hercules ProphetView 920-DVI LCD Monitor (17 inch)
This baby cost me a shit load a year ago, but it was worth it. A year down the track and it still kicks serious arse. I would love to get a P5 when the second gen ones are realeased :D
Currently my nice machine stands at:
Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
MSI 845PE Max 2 Motherboard (Gigabit Lan Onboard)
512 MB DDR333 Ram
Radeon 9100 128MB
SB Live! DE 5.1
Seagate 80GB 7200rpm HDD
16x Pioneer DVD Player
52x/52x/24x LG CD Writer
I've also got a linux box which is in flux hardware wise still, and making a new computer for my mum to be able to use...
I have a few computers at my command.
I spend most of my time on a Celeron 2 GHz with a Radeon 9600.
But the 'beast' (and it's not as beastly as it was a while ago) is an Athlon XP 2400+ with 1GB Corsair TWIN-X PC2700 (not running in dual channel mode though as MB is crap) with a Radeon 9800 Pro and a 40Gb main hard disk and 80Gb scratch disk (both western digital I think)...
The 'mini-beast' which is also sometimes dragged out of retirement is currently incapacitated (fried CPU under warranty) is an Athlon XP 2000+ with a GeForce4 Ti4600 and 1Gb of PC2700 RAM.
I also have a few relics. A P166 which acts as a firewall, and a Athlon 650 (GeForce 2 MX -> crap even in it's day) which is used for basic programming stuff and a Pentium II-350 somewhere, plus a 486 DX4-100 which I think is getting a little unstable (MB maybe)
I just bought my first Digital Camera today, so I thought I would finally take a pic of my setup. My desk needs a bit of a clean though :p
