I can't really brag too much on my pc but I'll add to this thread since I'm a geek.

 

AMD Phenom II X2 540

2GB DDR3

ATI 4200 (just onboard.. I don't need a killer graphics card anyway)

1.5 TB SATA2 HD (split into about 6 drives)

LiteOn 20x DVD-RW

Sony 16x DVD-RW (sometimes it reads DVDs better than the LiteOn for ripping reasons)

17" MAG flatscreen monitor

 

I went with building something simple I don't really play games on pc anymore, just something to do internet, mess with graphics and music. I find it funny that people buy a $900+ computer and then only use it for internet. A friend of mine had me build him a killer Intel I7 with 6GB RAM a 1 TB hard drive, ATI HDMI graphics card 22" flatscreen monitor and he basically just uses it for email, facebook, messenger, and plays $20 slot machine games. WASTE OF MONEY.

lol, no joke. You can do all that on a friggin phone nowadays...

 

I'll post my build when I am not feeling so lazy. It's nothing too special, and my Radeon HD 4850 was damaged in a shipping accident with UPS so the drivers wont update :huh: . At least it runs Portal 2 and Crysis 2 still B)

Ugh Crysis. I remember that year I had just built a halfway decent PC, spent about $750 building it (for basically just case, motherboard, ram, processor, power supply and graphics card) a month later I bought Crysis (1) and couldn't hardly get that crap to run on it! Watching the intro was like watching the screen move at 7second intervals. I could finally play it when I turned the graphics down enough to make it look like Wolfenstein! That was the last year I bought PC games. So tired of having to update my computer every 6 months just to keep up with them, when all you have to do with Game Consoles is buy one and it lasts for years no matter how many new games are made.

 

Where I live I constantly have to keep unplugging my computer before storms hit. The outlets are very prone to static. Last year it fried my computer and I had it hooked up to a decent power strip with a high joule rating. I'm telling you that stuff doesn't matter! My power supply and motherboard were fried, luckily everything else was ok. I guess it's a good excuse to get a new computer every year.. or more.. but I don't really have the $$$ to burn.

case: Cooler Master Gladiator 600

don't you just love the case name - I have a Coolermaster Praetorian.

 

 

Quick question to the computer geeks:

Is there a cable to connect my old SATA laptop HDD to my comp's esata input so I can wipe it and sell it?

Yeah.. I bought it just for that :lol: well almost

 

I don't know about the eSATA connector, I have an external hard drive casing (with HDD swooping) with a eSATA out, but that is for a 3.5 inch HDD, the same exists for 2.5 inch (labtop HDDs) http://www.icybox.co...roducts/2.5.htm
