The Geek thread: How many computers do you own?

[GalileoAce]

It doesn't accumulate dust because of it's 5 big fans (they get dusty though)

[Calandale]

You probably don't smoke inside your
computer, either. 

[GalileoAce]

I don't smoke. Anywhere. At all. Ever. 

[Calandale]

How can you expect a nice dusty computer, then?

[odeon]

A Sun UltraSparc II (dual processor) server running Debian. Lots of memory, lots of HDDs. Makes a lot of noise.

awesome odeon 

what do you use it for?

 

these days? for making noise, mainly. but other than that, as a document database thingy.

Why would I want that?

[renaeden]

Where's all the dust? 

He washes it clean with his tongue every day. He loves it more than he loves me!  

[GalileoAce]

bullshit!

I love you both equally, please don't make me choose between the two of you, I just can't!!

It's surprising that so many, like me, are using such out of date stuff. I think I like that. We are getting the most out of what we have, instead of buying the newest flashy thing all the time.

Can't help drooling over GA's machine though.

I don't really care how up to date my system is as long as it can cope with the stuff I like to do- I only need a machine that allows me to surf the net, run IM, listen to music and write smut (and occasionally play the sims).  My only complaint was that it won't run the sims 2, but I just borrow Dunc's machine when I want to play that.

I agree, unfortunately, I want to get into video editing, graphics, and 3D modelling...Need a high-end machine for that.

[purposefulinsanity]

That's perfectly understandable- you need a machine that will cope with the tasks you need to do on it.

Not to mention lots of gaming?

Exactly! My interest is in stillls and rendering time, I have plenty of, since I have the dedicated machine that carrries out tasks when I'm not watching.

Even surfing on dial-up is not the much problem, because I have so many constannt distractions. My old shit works OK for noww.

Welll, it will after I replace this fucking drifty mouse!!!

Dial up is a nuisance though, given all the crap that people have to put in their websites these days.
