I built it a year ago (March 16th if I remember correctly) and it ate 90% of my savings.


its a nice all around computer.

I bought my primary computer from the for sale/trade forum. It's a home-built machine with an overclocked Celeron II on a 440BX motherboard. I've since added/replaced 2 optical drives, 2 hard drives, video card, sound card and memory.

I built it and none of the rest is any of your business.

Nothing personal, I'm just a very private person.

Pardon me while I put my aluminum foil hat on in order to keep the voices out.

you should add "it belongs to my parents" categories, cause I know there's people on here who would fall into that.

I find it hard to determine the specific build dates for my computers. I started with one in 1995, then replaced some its parts, then bought another one in 2000, and put a lot of the parts from the first one into it, then got some extra parts and make another one in late 2001, now considering a fourth from (almost) all new stuff.

The main computer I post with is this one. The abstract of the specs is:

CPU: Dual Pentium 3 667 @ 690 (one died, and I don't plan to replace it)
Mobo: MSI 694D Pro-AR
RAM: 1.7 gigs of Samsung PC133
Video: Cardexpert GeForce3 PowerPack (original NVidia GF3)
Soundcard: Yamaha YMF724
Optical drives: Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32A, Teac 12x CD-ROM
Hard drives: Western Digital 40 GB 7200 and 13 GB 5400
Floppy: IBM (I think)
Case: Enlight tower
PSU: Generic (label says "Topower") 330W
Operating System: Linux From Scratch 3.2 (kernel 2.4.18, glibc 2.2.5)
Monitor: Elements 19" CRT
Speakers: Generic desktop speakers and headphones

I really want to get a nice dual athlon mobo for this thing. Please help me realize my dream by clicking the "For Sale" link in my sig

My primary computer (at school) is one I built myself. The computer I'm on right now (at home) was built by a local shop because my parents didn't trust me to do it. However, they might let me build them a new one.

 

[yakko]

It is beige and noisey.
