Best PC?

[simchat_torah]

hehe... I'm sure there are many of you out there who want to brag...
So here's your chance. Who here has the best pc

Of course, modding is taken into consideration... performance.... hardware, etc.

Granted, there simply is no way to declare a winner. Everyone has their preference (ie: AMD vs. Intel, DDR vs. Rambus, DVD+RW vs. DVD-RW, etc.) and who's standard do we use for performance (not to mention that sometimes the ratings the performance software spits out can be flawed or misconstrued).

Anywho... here's your chance to brag. What's in your pc?

 

[Heathen Dawn]

The only thing I feel like bragging about is a peripheral—my HP 1100 Laserjet laser printer. The textual output that comes out of it is matchless!

I think either of mine can hang with most. Granted, there could be better out there. Considering my work paid for both systems, I will not complain.

Work = Micron PC Pentium IV 2.8ghz w/HT, 1GB DDR400 SDRAM, 80GB 7200 Hard Drive
(Network back up of 1 Terrabyte), 128MB DDR nVidia GeForceFX5200 Video, 19" LCD monitor, Cambrige Soundworks surround system, Logitech wireless keyboard and Marble Mouse. Win XP Pro & Linux Redhat Pro (option at boot).

Home = Mac PowerMac Dual G5 1.8ghz, 1GB DDR400 SDRAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card, 160GB Hard Drive, MacOSX Panther, 17" LCD, a few other extras.

my pc is a bitsa (just bits n pieces) its functional, and works. lol
p4 2.4b, 320mb sd-ram (my computer supports sd and ddr, im just too cheap to buy ddr.. ), 32mb tnt2 video card, 40gb hdd, a purple cdrom drive, a lame cd burner (which the laser has had it), onboard 5.1 sound and nic, umm yeah as you can see its just a cheap system to do what i need to do.. i should upgrade soon though (after i get my new ps2)

id rather spend my money on something more worth while, like a house. (or a home entertainment system.. )

offtopic* but how can anyone like halo on pc?!? i found it overwhelmingly bad (even on a top-end gaming pc), nothing compared to the xbox version.. i sure hope they dont port halo 2 onto pc.

[marduke]

i miss my pentium II 233mhz (overclocked to 500mhz with no heat problems) was a faultless machine, most stable computer ive ever had.

Well, that's tough to beat... but if I show you pictures of my Xerox 820-II system (which will be working as soon as I replace two ICs) can we call it a draw?
BTW nice username.


I forgot to mention my working Macintosh SE (two 800 KB floppy drives, 1 MB RAM, external 30 MB hard drive).

mp2800 Dually(I'm surprised nobody has mentioned any 64 bit procs yet)

 

[Roush01USA]

The best pc is a mac, those are sooo cool!!

 

[Roush01USA]

Not only are they cool looking but they have an awesome interface

 

[Roush01USA]

I am trying to get one soon, maybe a g5! O LA LA!

 

[Blazin4Christ]

[4thwatcher]

best pc depends on your budget

finally someone gets it right.

 

[simchat_torah]

Try this: Dual 2.8ghz Xeon P4's, 4 gig's 1600mhz RdRam, ATI Radeon x800 XT, 1.5 Terrabytes (that's 1,500 gigs) of 15k Fibre Channel (fiber optic) hard drive space, and a 21" viesonic flatscreen... of course, its all homebuilt with a phat modded case and water cooled

I think I'm going to finally bump going dual xeon's once the p5 hits (well, I know its not technically qualified as p5) and go with dual video cards. I've had dual xeons for sooo long. Funny thing is, I never really saw much of a performance difference between 2 and 4 processors (at least with gaming), so I've always stuck with 2.

Some people hard-drives last at longest 6 years. My 10 gig IBM is 8 years old and still alive and kicking, it is the best hard drive ever (loyalty-wise at least).

 

[marduke]

my mate has an old 400mb hdd that is still going strong.. lol
