Hey guys, I'm bored so I though I would ask...

What kind of computer do you have?


I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop that I had for a year and a half, with absolutely no problems at all. And it gets ABUSED. I am very happy with it. Just wondering what ya'll are running.
 
recently got a hp pavilion dv6000 so far i like it.. also have an older hp dv1000 that the kids use, and a custom built gaming beast that is in the closet unused..
 
Why is it unused lol? I was thinking about selling mine, and building one, until my dad pointed out that it is now cheaper to buy one, instead of buying all the parts. A good processor is about 300-500 new.
 
Custom built (by me) Dual Core 3Ghz (E8400 I think?), 750GB HD, 4GB of RAM, 512MB GeForce video card, 24" Dell Widescreen LCD, Gigabit Ethernet....blah blah blah blah Only cost me $900 to build (minus the LCD)
 
I would love to build one, but I'm not buying a new one, or building one until we can get high speed internet. Damn dial-up sucks!
 
Presario R3000. It gets the job done, but thats all I can say for it. More often than not its a pain in the ass.
 
2 intel mac book pros... 2 custom built Media pc's running my TV's

2 dell servers and a room full of old dells and misc. old boxes...

And a 50tb compaq drivebay
 
right now... dell latitude d600.... running fedora 9 i think...



in real life, my second pride and joy (1st is my son...) custom built media center/gaming pc. waaaaayyyyy overclocked...
 
Hp Pavilion dv2700 laptop. Special Edition 4GB RAM, Core 2 Duo, 12 cell battery, 64 bit Vista.

My Compaq Persairo R3000 got parked in favor of a Presario CQ50. AMD Turon Dual Core Processor at 2.00 GHz with a 200 Gig Hard Drive and 3 GB of RAM. It does what I want it to do and pretty dang quickly. Didn't think much of Vista at first but I am used to it now...

Crappy compared to rolex's, but I still love her lol
 
Sweet rolex! Now when u post, i know where your at lol.

The Captain's lounge. Star date 5.10.9. :D

I have 2 more in another room, one with XP Pro, and one I built myself that still has Win98. That one NEVER failed me. This one has a few quirks that are starting to irritate me, but for music and my MIDI keyboards, it's absolutely intense. That was the reason I got it.
 
I run an HP DV9000 laptop when I'm in the living room and a Home built in my office as well as my server. Some days I can't walk in my office because of all of the computer stuff........
