optimus-convoy Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Actually I'm typing on my Wii at the moment. X-D But, my usual arrangement is an... hp Pentium 4 processer 180 GB hard drive. Windows XP home edition With a nice 19" monitor, wireless keyboard & mouse, and some old Vaio speakers. There's probably more, I might just edit that in later. :-P Quote

oo7 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Posted March 24, 2007 I'm throwin in another bonus! Here is my desktop! Quote
Scouty Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Well... here is what I have to say. A lovely LCD screen..around 13 inches or so. A DELL PC. 1 Gig of memory I believe. Here's ma desktop. I haven't changed the wall paper since 2005 8- Quote
Hobbes Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Yeah, g33k alert X-D DELL Inspiron 500m Laptop Pentium M 1.4 GHz (Centrino Technology 1st generation) 1 GB RAM 160 GB hard disk 64 MB shared Intel Extreme Graphics 2 for mobile 14" screen @ 1400x1050 (SXGA+) Intel 2915ABG Wireless NIC (which is in "violation" with the Centrino generation 1 standard but who cares about such small technicalities) NEC 6650A DVD-burner Currently hooked up to AC power. If not I use a standard and slim battery, the latter trading places with the DVD burner. Depending on what I do together they last 6-8 hours. Desktop Quote

mutley777 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 I built this baby myself with help of some good internet hardware shops early last year. MSI K8N sli platinum AMD 64 4000+ 2 GB ram Nvidia 7800 gtx Western Digital Raptor 74GB HDD 19" CRT (still can't bring myself to play games on a lcd :-D ) Quote
Hobbes Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Nvidia 7800 gtx Time to upgrade, hm? The 8800 is waiting somewhere out there X-D 19" CRT (still can't bring myself to play games on a lcd :-D ) There's some good LCDs out there meanwhile... I can't really recommend anything, though, cos I don't play games. I just know I prefer LCDs ;-) Quote
mutley777 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Time to upgrade, hm? The 8800 is waiting somewhere out there X-D I know and it's killing me not to get it but my whole system neads upgrading really. I want to get the new intel quad core too. :-D There's some good LCDs out there meanwhile... I can't really recommend anything, though, cos I don't play games. I just know I prefer LCDs ;-) I have been looking at some lovely 22" widescreen lcd but am just not sure. :-/ Quote
Hobbes Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 but my whole system neads upgrading really. I want to get the new intel quad core too. :-D Well, if you weren't after the Intel I wouldn't see anything except the gfx (and not even that) that needs any upgrading except maybe a bigger hard disk (Hitachi's 1TB SATA disk will be out in July ;-))... I have been looking at some lovely 22" widescreen lcd but am just not sure. :-/ I prefer 4:3 screens but for a gamer wide screen is an option I guess... Quote
oo7 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Posted March 24, 2007 You can see iTunes bout to get choked by Vader X-D :-P Ahh, itunes surely deserves to die. I admire your pursuit of Justice, Commander. And soon possibly a Mac laptop. NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *vader* Anyway, how do you like your Flight Simulator 3? I had that on my old laptop, but I haven't installed it on this one as I don't own a USB keyboard! There's so many controls in that darn game that the numlock keys will intervien with the special function controls. Every time I try to move my Left Aelieron trim I also bail out via ejection seat! X-D Desktop Nice. Is that your moc? It seems there's a bit of hair on it..... Quote
Scouty Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 :-P Ahh, itunes surely deserves to die. I admire your pursuit of Justice, Commander.NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *vader* Hey, if it's a laptop, and I can go anywhere with it, I'm fine with it. Too bad I can't play any games on it though. Anyway, how do you like your Flight Simulator 3? I love it *wub* . Not only that but my Combat Flight Simulator as well, I'll be gunning those German planes for a while. I'm getting pretty good at it. I've gunned down round 14 planes now! I had that on my old laptop, but I haven't installed it on this one as I don't own a USB keyboard! There's so many controls in that darn game the numlock keys will intervien with the speacial funtion contols. Everytime I try to pust my Left Aelieron trim I also bail out via ejection seat! X-D Well...I'm lucky X-D. I have no need for a keyboard for I have a yoke and the pedals X-D ! Quote
Hobbes Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Nice. Is that your moc? MOC? You ignorant! X-D It seems there's a bit of hair on it..... There is, but I found out when I had taken all the pics already. Didn't want to do it again... Quote
mutley777 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Is anyone here running or tried Vista. Just wondering if it's any good? Quote
Commander Wolf Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Well, I've heard a lot of horror stories but I tried using it for the first time on my friend's new laptop today... I can't say it's too bad; I didn't get to take a good look around, but from a cursory glance, the interface is pretty similar to XP, just prettier... and slower. And it really does take up a whole 8-10GB just for the OS. We tried to install some software and contrary to what I've heard, there wasn't a bazillion security prompts, maybe only just as many as XP for that matter, but I didn't get to see more than that. I'm going to try it on my desktop sooner or later though. I'll see how that is... Quote

With their DMA agreements, if they find anything on your computer that they don't like (illegal copies of their movies, for instance), they can shut down your computer. For good. All via the internet without any consent other than the "I agree" when you start the computer up or install Vista. Quote

ApophisV Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Okay, here comes my powerful ( *wacko* ) machine! AMD Athlon 1,2Ghz (thanks to Jipay!) 512 MB RAM NVIDEA GeForce 6200 17'' Flatscreen (noname) Philipps DVD Burner 250GB HD Pretty basic, isn't it? ;-) BUT I can access the Internet and play Gothic 2, Black & White (1) and Diablo 2, so I have no reason to be unhappy! :-D Quote
