Well, I guess this is the place to post what computers you've owned, what yo own, and what you want to own, because I coulnd find anywhere like this...
My First Comuter
Oddly enough, my first computer was a Macintosch Quadro AV, and I got it slightly used in 2001, I don't remember anything about it, except that it made a bong when it started, it was a tall, beige tower, and wasn't very fast.
2nd comp - VERIFIED
I remember, a little, it was beige, looked like the Quadro, and upon startup, the sound gave me nightmayers.
Specs:
unknown Proccesor, good enough to play midtown madness 2
unknown HDD
Windows 98 Plus or Ultimate, which was a beta made in 1997, want to know how? here @ 1:36 - 1:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu0TMtgx1pE
Big HDD, and slow too...
2nd Comp - UNVERIFIED
From having a Macintosch, you would expect me to get another? no...
This time, I got a Dell 8110, a short, stubby tower with no CD tray. I forgot how I eventually got my games on it. But I know that by the time I did, which was 3 - 4 months, it had crashed at least 3 dozen times. One night, I left it on, and it crashed again, except, this time, the HD was bad, we chucked it in the trash feeling better that it was no longer in our hair.
Specs:
Intel Celeron 933Mhz 124PSM
340mb DDR216 Ram
16Gb HD
Geforce NVS 22/150
Windows ME, very slowly
3rd Comp
Now that the Dell was gone, I got a taste of a Real Computer. It was a Biostar Ideq 210V. I had this computer longer then all my computers, other than my mac, combined. It was fast, tiny, and fast again, it played my HL2 Demo, halo, Far Cry 2, Halo 2 Vista, Midtown Madness 2, and many other games at high speed, from March of '03, when my Dell died, to last December in '09, when my neighbor offered my dad another *^%! Dell. Dad accepted, and a perfectly good computer, mistakenly, but purpously, fell in the trash.
Specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2.1 Ghz 425PSM
2Gb DDR400 Ram
160Gb SATA HD
Radeon 9600 127PSM
Windows Vista ultimate 64bit
4th comp
Very slowly, in any sentence, quickly became associated with my next 3 PC's, and the 1st one was the worst one.
Dad brought a Dell Dimension 4500 home one day, and tossed my Ideq in the trash while I was at school. I got home, and the phones were tied, the faceplate, HD, CDrom, and cables from my Ideq were on the kitchen table. I went into my room, where I found my dad had been trying to unlock Windows for 3 hours on this tall, loud, behemouth on my desk. He eventually unlocked it, but then decided to reinstall it on the Pc.After that, everything had problems, every game had combatability problems, if they even ran faster than a snail on the computer... I found a newer computer at grandpa's:
Specs:
Intel Pentium 4 1.8Ghz 240PSM
768 DDR400 Ram
40Gb Hd
Radeon 9600 PRO / Geforce 4 MX440 127/88 PSM
Windows XP Home Edition
Dell Dimension 8110
Well, if it sucked the first time, it was worse the second time, I didn't do anything to it, and it went to the attic 2 days Later.
Specs:
2.53Ghz Intel Celeron D 432PSM
512mb DDR333 Ram
no HD
Intel 945 72PSM
Windows Vista Beta 1
Hp Compaq DC7600
Well, HP's are at the top of the 3 year failure list at 31%, but mine had a 90% chance that half the programs didn't work when booted, and had 100% failed to impress my still - Ideq standards, after 1 day of computing.
Specs:
2.80Ghz Pentium D 808PSM
2.50Gb DDR2 Ram
80Gb SATA
Intel 82945 G 89PSM
Windows XP Profesional
Custom computers are sometimes refered to as whiteboxes, but my whitebox, could have been called a double negative, it was black and orange, and was a round rectangle, almost as tall as the 4500. Slow, slow,slow,slow,slow,phew, it tired me just STARING at it... I own it now, its on my desk, and I'm not happy about it. Somthing tells me, in the next 9 weeks, its going to go bye bye real fast.
Specs:
dc7600 2.80Ghz Pentium D 808PSM
2.25Gb DDR2 Ram
Dc7600 80Gb SATA
Geforce 8500 GT 391PSM
Windows Vista ultimate 32 bit
LAPPIES:
My grandpa wants to sell me a Gateway W730 - K8x for $150.
It is one heck of a problem as Im typing on it, slow, buggy...
Here is its problem:
Itnernet throws a hissy fit every hour

The whole computer Desides to lock every 6 hours

As I look on ebay, I look at this, fun, interesting, fast from all reveiws.
Specs, Anyone?
2.1Ghz Pentium M 523 PSM
2GB Ram
