I bought it refurbished for $399 last year on some auction site on the net and it works like a charm.  The monitor and speaker I had from my 2nd computer and the printer is from my first computer.  The only reason Im keeping the printer is cause the cartridges for it are like 8 bucks for black and 15 for color and thats brand new from Cannon.

Home-built special here.

 

Athlon T-Bird 1.2 GHz CPU (266 MHz FSB)

Linksys 10/100 NIC

Logitech Optical Mouse; MS Natural Keyboard

15" monitor (since my 17" died)

 

I also have a second system (which is a lot harder to use now that my backup monitor has been pressed into full-time duty).  It's a K6-2 450 MHz CPU (overclocked to 500), 256 Megs RAM, 22 Gig Hard drive, generic 32 meg video card, Sound Blaster Live, built-in Intel NIC, basic keyboard and mouse.  

 

I'm probably going to replace the video card in my main PC and get one with a flat panel input, so I can get a 17" flat panel monitor.  I'd also like to get a 60 Gig hard drive and put XP on it (my main machine runs Win2000, my backup runs XP), turning my second PC into a Linux box.

Lets see:

 

1997 Dell Dimension XPS D300

 

64 MB of RAM (SLOW AS HELL!!!)

20 Gig Hard Drive (19 used, my computer barely moves)

15 inch Dell Monitor

12x4x32x Iomega Zip CD burner

DVD drive... not sure what kind

Zip Drive

Comcast Motorola Cable Modem

Hewlett Packard 695C Deskjet Printer

Altec Lansing Speakers (Pretty good, two little speaker and one BIG ass one)

Microsoft Intellepoint Laser Mouse

 

This WAS a good system when I bought it, it costed about $3000.  Now it runs slow as hell, and f*cks up all the time...

[Guest HDahlmear]

Ooooh, I can't resist this one....

 

Proc - AMD K7 Athlon XP "palamino" 1700+, at 1466 Mhz.  Not overclocked, as I don't have the money to replace the chip if I f*ck it up.

Motherboard - Asus A7V266-E, with the VIA KT266A north bridge and its high-speed memory interface, among other things.  It's got stuff I didn't need, like an on-board RAID controller, but it's a good board, w/ built in audio so I didn't have to get a sound card.

Memory - two 256 Crucial 266 Mhz DDR-SDRAM modules.  When I bought these in late November at buy.com, I paid $35 each.  Now, the same exact modules cost about $80 each.  Did I buy at the right time or what?

Hard disks - one 45 Gb ata/66 western digital (multiple partitions to keep cluster size down), and an old 4Gb western digital from my old POS comp that I use as the desperation backup drive.

CD-ROM - a 8x4x32 Acer CD-RW drive that I rarely use to burn CD's with.  My old CD-ROM drive from the POS doesn't work right anymore, so it's in the basement back home.

Video - Asus 7700 pure GeForce2-GTS, 32 Mb.  I don't need much more than that.

A 17" Proview monitor.

Creative labs 56K modem (not in use)

10/100 Mbs network card

All housed in a sweet Antec case (SX830).

Plus the mouse and KB.

 

All total the cost of the components above (excluding stuff salvaged fromt he old comp) was about $900 total.

[Guest Luke Cage]

I forgot my iBook. 600mhz, 20 Gig HD 384 megs of ram. It has a combo drive so I can burn CDs as well as watch DVDs. The latter comes in handy during slow times at work. I listen to commentary tracks on spec ed discs...

[Guest Bruin]

Custom built from an online website..

 

Specs:

 

CPU - AMD 750 MHz TBird

 

Video Card - Voodoo4 4500 AGP (3dfx was such a great company.. Upgrading to an ATI Raedon 8500 as soon as it arrives :b) Had to put my V4 back in after purchasing a GF3 Ti 200 that didn't work w/ my motherboard..

 

HD Space - 120 GB, 7 Gigs used

 

RAM - 768 MB of S-DRAM.. (I utterly refuse to upgrade to DDR since it's not a high enough boost in performance for the kinda money it costs)

 

CD-ROM - Creative Labs 52x

 

Mouse - Generic 3 button mouse

 

Zip Drive - Iomega

 

Monitor - 17 inch CTX monitor

 

Modem - HSP 56 Micromodem (56K)

Damn... your system is near-identical to the one I have now, except forthis computer having only 256mb of RAM, a Creative CD-RW drive, and a Toshiba DVD-ROM, as well as a Hercules 3D Prophet II MX GeForce 2 MX video card. I also have a Soundblaster Live Value sound card. Monitor is an NEC MultiSync 75, we also have a (not-used) Creative Modem Blaster DI5601 56k modem, and the floppy is not quite an antique. With my tax refunds this year, I might go for a GeForce 3 video card and/or a 21" Viewsonic monitor.

Well, for a laptop (which I'm presuming your comp is), that's still a decent enough peice of hardware, if you don't try and do stuff it wasn't designed for.  The comp I'm typing this message on (not mine BTW) is a 100Mhz P1 put together from pieces left over from other computers, and it runs Win98 well enough.

 

TRUE comic relief would be if someone were to come on here using a juiced-up 386 system, or older.

Well, I totally forgot to mention my new computer specs..so here they are.

 

Compaq Presario SR1200NX

Introduction date: 17-Sept-2004

Windows XP SP2

Base processor and speed - AMD Sempron 2800+ 2.0 GHz

Ram - 512 MB

HD - 40 GB Ultra DMA

Optical Drives 1) CD-RW and 2)8x MultiFormat DVD Burner (as a gift for my birthday last year, and I reinstalled it in this computer)

Video graphics - Integrated 64 MB (It sucks, but I can get an 8x AGP card to upgrade )

Sound/audio - Integrated AC97 audio, six channel configurable

Network Integrated 10/100Base-T interface

Modem - 56K bps high speed modem

9-in-1 card built in:

 

o USB interface

o 9-in-1 digital media card reader supports the following cards:

+ Compact Flash I

+ Compact Flash II

+ SmartMedia

+ Memory Stick

+ Memory Stick Pro

+ MultiMediaCard

+ Secure Digital (SD)

+ Micro Drive

+ xD Picture Card (xD = extreme digital)

 

External I/O ports:

Front Panel: 2 USB 2.0, 1 Firewire

Back: 4 USB 2.0, 1 Firewire

 

15 Inch Flat Panel Display

Logitech Cordless Keyboard

Except for the DVD Burner/256 mb of RAM and the Wireless keyboard/mouse, the rest of the setup only cost me $199 at Staples the week before Christmas, but it took me almost a week to upgrade the RAM and add the DVD burner. Im going to get a new video card and Im going to upgrade the Hard Drive (somewhere in the 200 GB neighborhood) so I can take the DVD RW's that I burn on My ILO standalone DVD recorder and burn them to DVD-Rs with menu's and stuff (not all of them, just the ones that I want to keep).

 

 

Not too bad for what I paid for it.
