160 gig hard drive
512 megs RAM
also running PClinuxOS however no GUI (adminstration is done via [ur=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webminlwebmin][/url]
It provides the following services:

Media Server: I stream my my music from my work via a web applcation called jinzora also I use something called twonkymedia to stream music and video down to my xbox 360, though you have to buy it, it;s worth it.

WOW, is this thread a disappointment.

[Kiriana]

We have 4.  Hell if I know the techie details.  Mordok orders the parts and builds them, I just play with them.

1.) Mordok's desktop.  Often highjacked by the boy child since he figured out it runs faster than...
2.) the kids machine, which as far as I know was cobbled together out of scavenged parts from our older machines.
3.) The file server.  We store crap on here.  Lots of crap.  Also, the printer has to be routed through this box for some reason.
4.) My computer.  It's got a really cool flat screen monitor and a wireless mouse and keyboard.   We added extra memory when I started playing WoW.  Um...yeah, that's about all I know.   :lol:

[ASpHole]

4 of them. The two that work are my Toshiba notebook with a 1.73 Ghz Centrino Duo that I'm currently using,

A Dell desktop system that has a 500 Mhz P3 in it. It currently has the last free release of Red Hat Linux on it, RH9.

I also have a Athlon XP 1.5 Ghz box that will work when I put drives in it, and my old mainstay Compaq 1Ghz Athlon mobile notebook that is pretty much fucked at this point.

[Calandale]

Too many. Stretching back to a Radio Shack TRS-80 4k
(still runs). But, in my defense, some were gotten for
free from one of my schools.

[Gluey]

My New Del Dimension PC with Windows XP that I am very happy with
and my old HP Pavilion PC which is such a piece of crap that the internet won't work on it anymore.

[purposefulinsanity]

I don't know all the technical crap either 

Dunc has his own system, I have a laptop and the kids have one (is a second hand one got on ebay).

[duncvis]

I don't know all the technical crap either 

I do though. 

My PC - Compaq Evo Pentium 4 2.4GHz, 768MB DDR RAM, 80GB HDD + 40GB HDD, DVD-RW, newish NVidia GeForce card (not yet fitted due to laziness so still using Intel 845 Extreme Graphics chipset), PCLinuxOS 2007 + Windows XP

PI's laptop - Hi-Grade Notino Celeron 2GHz, 256MB RAM, 30GB HDD, DVD-ROM/CDRW, Windows XP

Kids PC - Celeron 1.2GHz, 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD, Intel 810 graphics chipset, CD-ROM and external CDRW, Windows XP

and my old box - eMachines Celeron 900MHz, 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD, optical drive missing, Windows XP. Currently being cannibalised for usable bits. 

[Mr Smith]

I've got one. I want wireless and a laptop though.

[The_P]

I use the family computer, meaning that it isn't mine.

[Icequeen]

The now ancient desktop I built about 4 years back, an old laptop, another tech challenged (slow as hell) desktop, 4 or 5 laying around in the basement found curbside or taken in trades I need to strip, a bin full of parts I'll probably never use.

Way, way too many.

How did I guess you would have a better PC than PI. How can you let your wife have a Smegaron?

[Alex179]

3 kind of.

Main:  3 Ghz P4 with 2GB of DDR RAM
HD1: 160 GB
HD2: 60 GB
HD3: 17 GB
ATI Radeon 9600 pro 128MB VRAM
WinXP
Sound Blaster 5.1 sound card
2 DVD burners both internal

Backup POS:  2 Ghz Athlon XP with 1GB RAM
HD: 60 GB
ATI Radeon 9600 128 MB VRAM
Win XP
50x CDROM (lol)
External USB soundcard with MIDI inputs and 5.1 (forgot brand...)

Laptop:  Dell Latitude with P3 Mhz 256 MB RAM
WinXP, CD ROM, Wireless PCMCIA card, floppy, 15 inch display

Oh and I have 2 17 inch monitors that are CRT (one does 1600 by 1200 wooo!).   I want to get LCDs that do 720p/1080p eventually.   Sometime whenever a great DX10 only game comes out I will get a multicore beast system with a DX10 video card and all (16x PCI Express slots running 2 SLI graphics cards haha).

I got my upgrade last - I got it in January off eBay for ninety quid and beefed it up with some stuff I already had. PI has had her laptop nearly three years, and it is considerably higher spec than my old box - which was PI's before mine, I had a 600MHz Celeron with 64MB RAM running Windows 98SE before that.

Thats a pretty good deal, £90 for all that. Was the Celeron 600 like working with a cripple?
