I also have a 19" CTX color monitor (currently running 1024 x 768). http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-144-039&depa=1 that is my case. All of my computer parts were bought off of New Egg. It's a place with great deals and I'm really happy with my machine, it's running and has ran great!

I have a Gateway, built on December 26th, 1999. But the majority of the computer is new, except the processor.

- Pentium 3, 500 MHZ processor

- 330 MB RAM

- 60 GB Maxtor Hard Drive

- Windows XP Professional

- 64 MB Graphics Card, Radeon 8500

- 17" monitor, with fine picture mode (great screen!)

- Creative Sound Blaster 24 Bit Surround Sound Card

- Logitech Z-series THX-certified surround sound (5 speakers, 1 woofer) 500-watt system (Trust me, the sound is AMAZING!)

- DVD Drive

- DVD R+/RW Drive

- Ethernet Card

- Case Fan with LED Blue Light

I like my system, and have upgraded a lot of it. All that is left to do is a new processor and motherboard!

As far as Internet goes, I use Cablevision's lightning-fast Optimum Online, and I'm loving every second of it. Sure beats dialup and DSL!

You ain't even close, Jake!

I bought my Dell in Feb '98

It has:

300 mhz Pentium II
6.4 GB hard drive
64 MB Ram
17" monitor
running the very LATEST version of Windows 95

It also has terrific Altec-Lansing speakers with sub woofer, but since the sound card burned up about 4 years ago....it don't matter.

I ought to get a new one, since they are getting so cheap.....but I don't game or do any of the other stuff that you need a fast puter for....so I think I'll keep it 'til it quits altogether!

OK, on your desktop, right click on My Computer. It should have a tab called "System Infomation". Click it, and click the different tabs to see the specs.

HAHA!! NOT!! We have one from 1990 or earlier. Try this: MS DOS system, 12 MB hard drive, and 64 MB of RAM. I think I do, lol!! You use the keyboard to open programs and get through the computer. But a couple of programs used the mouse (drawing), but it sat still most of the time. It also made this humming noise when you turn it on. The Epson Printer I have hooked up to my Dell (T-1000 Dot Matrix) is from that computer. That was our first computer. Oh, I also have an HP I bought at the Base Exchange. It's 1.8 GHZ, but has an Intell Celeron (I hate that, but I needed a laptop).

Sounds pretty darn good, I've never had a Toshiba before, you'll have to let us know how it works for you. After the Dell I had purchased for home use I really wasn't too impressed with them. I love this HP however the hard drive did crash on me over the summer, the 3-day express repair was nice so it really wasn't much of an inconvenience. Considered giving Acer a try, that's what my first computer was with Windows 3.1 Through the college they give us the option of purchasing Dell laptops at a very reduced rate, that's where I got my first laptop when I began teaching, once I got this laptop to replace my desktop I got rid of that old jalopie.

If you have an International, you NEED customer service.

Of course I have those programs. It took me a while to learn how to use teh AFCAD program and the one where you can make the flight schedules for the AI Aircraft. I added so many aircraft, I could barely play the game, lol. I did reduce the amount.

Don't get me started LOL!
As for being a big mac/apple fan myself, I regret not having a mac. But anyway...

My friend, (I'll call him Tygron) got a computer for free in the early/mid 1990s. It is a 1980s something Compaq Portable?, DOS, I can't really explain it, but it had big 5.25" Disk drives, ect.

My grandpa also has some of the first IBMs. Portables, everything. His earliest one could still do email in the late 90s.
He also one of the first IBM's that could run windows. No cd-roms, or anything but off a dang 1.4 Floppy. However, it dosen't work any longer. It used to run 95', but now it just loads dos. We've tried 98, but we can't get past the welcome screen.

At my old elementary school, we still have a old 1980s Apple II or something (//?). Funny thing, it still works, fully. And last I heard they have no plans to replace it. But they have a lot of other older mac's, like them old, LC550's? Power Mac 5200/75LC, and a load of G3s.

Well, I guess I said enough. I could go on and on, but I won't. Besides, this is a bus forum, not PC.

I just bought a new computer this morning since last night my old computer's hard drive took a crap. That computer has had about everything replaced at least twice, that hard drive was replaced about 5 times and just gave me continuous problems from the first few months I had it.

My new computer is an HP Pavilon a1209n
345 Intel Celeron D Processor
512 MB of memory
200 GB of hard drive
DVD and CD burner with LightScribe
Windows XP Home Edition

I got the complete package for 400 bucks (after rebates..) Which included Monitor, Speakers, Keyboard, and Mouse. I already have a 19" ViewSonic LCD monitor that I used on the old computer that I will use with the new one, same with the mouse and keyboard. But I can use some new speakers..

I also plan on buying a high end graphics card for it soon, after I pay the computer off.

Ok, here we go:
  • AMD Athlon XP 1800+
  • Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Motherboard
  • 128 MB generic PC2100 (I really need to get more)
  • Antec True430 430w power supply
  • Mitsumi 3.5" floppy
  • Lite-On 48x12x48 CD-RW
  • Western Digital WD800JB 80 GB Hard Drive
  • crummy old Visiontek TNT2 16MB video card
  • Multi-boot with Windows 2000, Windows XP,and Xandros 3.0 (Linux)
  • Thermaltake SilentBoost heatsink/fan
and a few custom modifications . . .
lights off
lights on (I almost never turn them on)
opened case

It's a bit outdated, but it gets the job done.

There are three kinds of people - those who can count and those who can't.

Here's mine: I just know certain items, but none which has appeared on here:
2 Sony Computers, 1 Used got it at Christmas, that has wireless keyboard and mouse, and one new before I moved, both have TV plug ins which makes it great from my family. The New one has a flat screen 17"? with TV hook up. The old one no screen but we got one that is 17" and no TV hook up.

1 2002 HP that had work done do to a internet bug that would not let us hook up the internet, works like a charm now.

1 really old HP or Dell that just crap out on us, right now we use the monitor. Not in use

My Father's plan is to have a house network. Each computer will have TV hook up, so that means changing the monitors around. Which I like. We will have 2 computers in the main house and one in the basement.

I guess I'm really bored/tired so I looked up old post. My computer is this. Yeah I abuse it but I have that warranty thing so If something bad happens to it, I just call India (Dell) and get a new one. I couldn't even tell you if it's a go0o cpmtr or not. I know it works, sometimes i get aggrivated and just press the power button without shutting it down properly but it just takes too long.

How many of you used to think that the monitor was the computer?

I did. Until about last year. I really never cared about the specs and really still don't.

My computer doesn't even have a floppy.

FESS UP. I know there are others out there.
