What do you think of my ghetto fabulous setup?

[T_Yamamoto]

Isn't this a beauty?

 

[kysg]

I don't think I would say it's ghetto fabolous but it has it's qualities.

 

[mfenn]

Seems fine to me?

Good Heavens.... you have a Dell 5150 too...!

Needs a chrome toilet roll dispenser to the right of the case, just to add a touch of elegance to the room's decor.

Dell xps400 with a pentium 4 or pentium d 820?

its actually a e520. came stock with a 820, but upgrade with a e2140 (free from virtual larry)

Looks capable to me. :thumbsup:
Your desk is better too; I'm using a $20 desk I salvaged from a hotel fire sale.

Well... same case it looks like. You know, it's not a bad computer... I dropped in a faster processor, some more RAM and another 80GB HDD and it's a great backup computer. I think mine had an 830, I don't remember what I dropped into it, except it runs much hotter...

Losing 1.2ghz on the pentium d 820,did it still feel like a good upgrade going with the e2140?

My desk is nearly identical to yours,except mine has round wooden handles,and the table top doesn't have the white protective coating,personally i love it more then the majority of glass tables i have seen,and basically love it more then any of the yucky cheap crap particle wood desks....

When I was a dispatcher, I had a glass top desk... that piece of glass was MINE!!! It went to every desk I transferred to. I miss it to this day... :wub:

AH!!! There it is in all it's glory...

You can't really compare raw clock speeds like that. A Conroe derivative like the E2140 is much faster than a P4 like the Pentium D 820 on a clock-for-clock basis.

Its not really a desk. Its an attached desk thing in the kitchen of our house.

i have 3.5 gbs of ram in this bad boy and its...chugging along.

The e2140 is actually fast than the d820 (theoretically)

oh yess, I've hacked up one of those dells to fit a 7970 in, good times

Isn't there a show your desk thread already?

I actually don't know. I think its buried down there

You need to actually put in some search parameters, Gillbot. The site can't read your mind even if you are a bot.

let the OP do it

 

[lehtv]

What for? Should he repost this there?

 

[Gillbot]

This thread is a repost of that thread.

 

[lehtv]

Which is exactly why he doesn't need to go look for the other thread.

 

[Gillbot]

Which is why I can complain about it. This is OT, not a tech section.

Err, what? Did I get teleported to ATOT when I wasn't looking?
