2x512Mb DDR-2700 RAM (1Gb Total)
2x60Gb ATA-100 IBM Deskstar 7200RPM HDDs (upgrading to dual 250Gb in the new year :D)

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

I desperately need a new graphics card, but I think that will come after a newer car. Looking at an ATI 9800 non pro, as they should be fairly affordable at the start of next year.

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)

Submitted by CombatWombat on Wed, 19/11/03 - 6:46 PMPermalink

My main beastie is:

P4 3.0
2x512 Corsair PC-3200 in dual channel
Geforce 4 Ti 4800
SB Audigy
2x36Gb WD raptors in raid 0
Miscellaneous junk
21" Sony CRT

Compile times are nice :)

Plus a few other ex-main-beasts to keep it company in the veritable computer zoo that is my loungeroom :)

Sorry Kane, but she di'nay work. What you see there is a build up from the last 5 years. Saving from crappy part time jobs (:p) and pressies from people. There is also a scanner under the pile o' crap next to my case :D As I said, I REALLY need to tidy me desk up a bit.
