I don't really have geeky computers. I have three that I have thrown together.
My main one is an old Soyo Dragon board, with RAID, AMD XP2400, 2GB RAM*, WinXP Pro, 300 and 400 GB HDDs pairs, M-Audio sound, Radeon 9800XT 256 MB graphics card, Plextor CD-R, Sony DVD, Universal card reader. It was basically my work box, before I lost my job. Set up for loading photos from the camera shoots and burnig, I had Photoshop, CorelDraw, Nero and a few other graphics aps, but not much else in it. I have now moved all my graphics shit to my newer box and this one has almost no software in it, except for internet, Winamp and fractal stuff. I have my good stereo stuff hooked up to it.
Newest computer is similar, but I used an ASUS P4P8X, P4 2.8GHz, 2Gb RAM, Win XP Pro (cracked, not connected), Radeon 9800 PRO, same CD burner, 160GB HDD, all my graphics software, but nothing music or internet related on this one. I just use it for graphics, so it basically has all possible Windows services turned off and it fucking flies compared to the other one.
Last is another Soyo board, 900MHz P3, 512MB Ram, 80GB HDD, ATI Wonder 7800 64 MB graphics, Audigy Sound card, Win ME. I only use it for the kids educational DOS games, these days.
I do have a working antique, that I haven't tossed out, yet. It's an old Compaq 486 DXII, 25MHz, with 32MB RAM 600MB HDD.
It works fine, but it has its hands full booting Win95. It was my dad's and he paid an extra thousand dollars to get the 600MB HDD, instead of the 200MB!!
My only claim to geekdom is that I have over seventy five thousand songs ripped to disk.
Actually, I just looked - it's 78,356 songs I can access with my mouse.
*I forgot, I pulled a faulty stick of RAM out of this one. It's now got 1GB.
