I read Tadd's post on here about his Pc, And all I have to say is What? What? What the hell did he just say

 

Maw, you rock

Homebuilt rigs always cost more, but make upgrades easy and less expensive than buying new computer. I always try to fix something before giving up - especially if I like it and cannot find a replacement - like the Logitech G5 mouse I've cut & resoldered the cord on twice.

Ooh I like this thread.

I got myself a custom built PC, AMD Phenom II quad core, nice-ish video card, dual monitor setup, etc.
A Toshiba laptop I bought for school use, so it's not the best.
Just got myself an Asus Eee Pad Transformer Android tablet.
And I have a Motorola Triumph android phone.

Yea, I like Android :P

 

A collection of oldies & Americana - 6,755 mp3s, broken up by fake commercials and announcements. It will play for 17 days with no repeats, then shuffle and start again. There are about 40 mp3s that are my real, real mostest favorites, so once an hour one of them will play.

Can see the list at barovelli.com - Station KAMP playlist

When I return to going camping again I'm going to broadcast it over the air, pirate radio style.

 

Main computer is a Macbook Pro, I also have a 5 year old gateway dual core AMD desktop that I upgraded a little, but it is no where near as fast as the mac. I was a die hard pc user until I got my mac and i will always be a mac user now. Also use my android cell phone to access.

 

I built my own PC a couple years ago for like $800. it is a dual 3.0 overclocked to 4.0 with 4 gig of ram and a graphics card that is way out of date haha.

I also have an HP laptop. It was in the ultra portable line they have so it is 14.3 inch monitor and nothing fancy hardware wise

 

Here is an ATi Radeon themed computer I built back in '02 for a modding contest ATi put on. Watercooled back before watercooling became really popular. Water block on the cpu and gpu.




I'm such a nerd. Now that I work on computers all day long I would never do this as a hobby again lol.

 

Sweet Todd! I love my Mac too!

 

I almost bought a computer from the worst place to buy anything... Best Buy. it was not as good and didn't come with a monitor. it had a weaker CPU and an ATI 4850. the GTX 260 216 was competing with the 4870's at that time, and overall did better in benchmarks.

I almost had one of these websites that 'space listed build one for me however i found it to be cheaper and a learning experience rather than having someone else handle your $1200. i spent an extra $150 on games from sales on Newegg. I'm probably upgrading my senior year in HS. replacing the GPU, motherboard/RAM and CPU. everything else is fine.
