mine 9700 pro and lite-on dvd burner

i've always been on a budget, so i cant say i've ever had a satisfying hardware purchase. 🙂

Nothing so far, but my next upgrade, an A64+ system with an X800-XT will be VERY satisfying.

My Dell P1110 a few years back.

And my 9800 non pro i had to RMA & got a 9800pro back,now that was satisfying. 🙂

A couple of weeks ago I purchased a GF4 Ti4200-8x 128MB Chaintech from just 81 bucks, and I just cant stop playing....I moved from nforce2 IGP (GF4 mx).

my cheetah 15.3 K SCSI..each time i do video editing, big file copying and gaming, it makes me smile.

My desk and chair and my old microsoft natural keyboard (original ps2 one)

going from an old ati 32mb chip(don't even remember what it was) to a geforce 4ti 4400 for $50 bucks. That's right, had a gracious friend!

took me a while to realize that this thread was about hardware and not homework....

makes sense now reading the posts

By far my Planar PX191 LCD

 

[Don66]

The Fuji Finepix 2800 I just picked up for $135.00

The Samsung Spin Point P80 120GB 8MB HDD I just installed this weekend is VERY satisfying. You can barely hear it running, and you can not hear seeks at all. Plus, it's a very good performer. Quite happy.

Tossup between my first 15k Cheetah (X15-36LP) and my first Voodoo2 🙂 Both were a huge leap from what I'd had before.

 

[Yanagi]

my NEC multisync 21" CRT (Got it for free from work) and my GeForce 3 (still going strong in my rig)

 

[Tab]

A 9700 Pro, if I had gotten one. 😛 Maybe my MX510.... About a year ago I got 512MB Crucail for $50. 🙂 That was nice.

 

[MDE]

My 17" open box Sony CRT monitor. A huge leap up from the Dell 14" made in December 1991 I was using. Scary thing is the Dell still works.

 

[Nebor]

Monitors always win.

 

[Chaotic42]

4.77MHz 8088 -> Pentium 60 (That was a whole new system). If I can't use that, then 15" -> 19" monitor.

 

[So]

My 28.8 modem years back...got me access to the internet for the first time 😀

After that? Maybe my first self built PC (Celeron 466 back in '99)

 

[AndyHui]

Diamond Monster 3D based on the 3dfx Voodoo 1.

 

[dudeman007]

My 3.2 p4. It was the first hw piece I really ever bought. Good thing.

 

[hjo3]

My 22" Samsung SyncMaster 1200NF.

 

[yhelothar]

My Altec Lansing ADA880 speakers at the end of 2000 for $90 BRAND NEW
Still have them now.

Going from a 9600SE to a 9800 Pro.
