How old is your rig?

[sash1]

I don't use my computer anymore. I use my Thinkpad for everything now. Nice laptop.

My rig sitting at home is:

Thunderbird 1Ghz
20Gb HD 7200rpm (WD I think)
SiS Xabre 64Mb
no RAM
SB Audigy

Yeah, that's about it. :laugh:

 

[jpeyton]

Laptop is about 1 year old.

Dell Inspiron 700m is 1 yr 4 months old and still going strong.

Remember the infamous $750 off $1499 coupons? Man I wish those would return.

I'd like to upgrade to the HP DV2000T but:

• I absolutely despise the slick/glossy touch pad area, WTF were they thinking?
• Core 2 still costs $$$
• Waiting for a hot coupon + rebate + free shipping offer

If my 700m had another USB port and internal WiFi, I think I'd be happy.

 

[judasmachine]

which part?

I still have a 3.0GHz Pentium 4 Northwood.

specs: (as of right now)

3.0HT P4 Woody (oldie but goodie)
ABIT IC7 (old)
4x256MB Corsair PC3200 LL (not old at all)
ATI RADEON X800 GTO AGP (old tech, new card)
80GB Maxtor SATA/150 (getting old)
160GB Seagate SATA/150 (new)
Dragon Case (way old)
so on and so forth

Built it last last November. I think it is fairly fast enough for me and plays the games I play. But I think I may need a new monitor as my 19" CRT, which has been excellent, needs to be possibly replaced by a 20" widescreen. I hope to stay with this system for a while.

 

[ModerateRepZero]

built mine (with help) about 2-3 weeks ago =D

Of course not, but I'm sure he will be flashing his now extended e-penis to everybody. Creating a thread that last a long time with many posts usually equates to a larger e-penis.

I built my rig 1 year ago approximately. I think I started in early August after I got back from a trip to LA but I was missing a lot of things like a good monitor and a 7800Gt. My 7800GT came on my bday I remember (Aug 25th), and that was when my build was complete.

Specs were 3700+ San Diego @ 2.6ghz, 1gb OCZ VX 2-2-2-5, Seagate 7200.8 250gb, BFG 7800GT OC, Viewsonic VP191b, blah blah

Upgraded to Opteron 170 and 2GB of RAM and a Raptor in spring/early summer. Ready to upgrade with another 2x 7200.10s very soon. Seagate replaced my 7200.8 for a 7200.9 in June (RMA) and I got an eVGA instead of a BFG (sold) thru ebay.

 

[BurnItDwn]

ehh ... my PC is good enough for me ...
Athlon 64 x2 4200+ (939)
2GB of PC3200 DDR
320GB Seagate 7200.10 as well as several smaller/older drives
ATI Radeon X1800XT
Acer 24inch LCD
Envision 19inch CRT
IBM Model M Keyboard, keys re-ordered to Dvorak Layout
Old Microsoft Optical Mouse that the little plastic feet have fallen off of

I was using a socket 754 abit board with an a64 3000+ and 1GB of ram, however, I upgraded when the Conroe CPU's came out and the X2's took a price dive. Also, my Geforce 6800 died, and my 9700 pro was not allowing me to play at high resolutions, so I was really ready for an upgrade anyhow.

 

[mattocs]

3 1/2 years. XP1900 / 1GB DDR / ETC.

 

[Stumps]

A64 3000+@2.87ghz skt 754
GA-K8NS PRO
ASUS V9999GT 128mb
1GB DDR400
500GB RAID 0 Maxtor 250GB SATA2 x2

most of it is less than 6 months old, however the base rig is more than 3 years old and started life as a AXP 3000+, GA-7N400PRO, GA-R9700PRO, 1GB DDR400, 240GB RAID 0 WD1200JB x2 back in early 2003.

[Zugzwang152]

hoping to upgrade to C2D in January or maybe a little later.

 

[ch33zw1z]

purchased in the last 6 months from ATOT, but the parts are prolly a year old.

 

[lokiju]

Athlon XP 3200+ and Nvidia 6800 GT.

74GB Raptor

1 GB RAM

I built the system in 2003 but upgraded the video card and HD about 1.5 years ago.

I'm looking to build a s939 system (for my media center) soon though since I have a Shuttle PC just sitting there with no processor or RAM.

 

[49erinnc]

Mine is definitely old since officially outgrowing my gaming stage awhile back. For a while, I was upgrading every 6-12 months but it's been a long time now. I find myself using my new laptop so much these days, that I rarely even turn on my desktop so I'm not too worried about it. It's plenty fast enough for what I do with these days.

ASRock Mobo
Athlon XP 2400+
1GB PC2700
80GB 7200 HDD
ATI Radeon 9800XT
17" LCD

 

[acemcmac]

Mine is from the same generation as Rip the Jacker's.

Abit IC7, P4 2.8/800
Radeon 9800AIW -> x850PRO
1 gig of dual channel corsair
Swiftech MCX4000 (http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcx4000.asp) with 120mm fan

Local 60 and 120 gig HD's. All of my serious file storage is done to network drives.
