Who got a new machine in the last two weeks?

[notfred]

We seem to have a lot of people with new machines lately, especially laptops. If you got a completely new system in the last two weeks, post here. I got an ibook on saturday.

 

[NewSc2]

in the past 2 weeks i've gotten a new case, motherboard, psu, motherboard, video card, and ram. only thing i didn't get was my cd-rom, my sound card, and my hard drive - rig below:


Coolermaster ATC-201
Intel p4 2.0A o/ced to 2.75ghz
Asus P4S533
512MB Samsung PC2700
Enermax 430 watt PSU
MSI GeForce3 64mb
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Western Digital 120GB "Special Edition" Hard Drive


dunno if that counts as getting a whole new machine, but it's certainly a lot faster than my old one

 

[Vette73]

Still running my OLD (3 month) system, Dual 1.1Ghz Durons. I am about to put in a couple of Athlon XP 1600+'s.

 

[NetworkDad]

Nope...no new rig lately. I did get a WD800JB recently though..

 

[Supermercado]

Nope. I haven't even gotten a whole new system in the last two years. I'm starting to feel the age on it.

 

[ElFenix]

i'd have to find a new way to cool the place if i did... i swear these truepowers are hot PSes.

 

[SWirth86]

Nope. Built mine about a year ago.

Sweet! (That would make a great Linux box )

I've got my new 17" iMac, to complement my "old" Athlon XP 1800+/Asus A7V266E combo.

Check my rig in my sig. Just built it about 2-3 weeks ago.

[BMdoobieW]

This computer is new to me...but not really new. I bought a used Dell Optiplex GX1 P2 333 from a friend for $40. It is now happily running SETI@Home on Win2k and puts out at a rate of 1 WU every ~16.5 hours.

 

[iamwiz82]

just picked myself up a Toshiba e310 for $238 shipped via 2 day air with no rebate hassles

 

[Rallispec]

You already have a desktop AND an old ghetto Toshiba laptop ...

 

[Imported]

Built a new PC about a month ago..

It's my college rig.

 

[MWink]

I got my Inspiron 8200 about 3 months ago but I'm not jealous. I'm still very happy with it and it feels like it is still new.

Oh wait, these count too? change my vote, cause I got the same

 

[amdskip]

no

 

[matsuhisa]

didn't get a new rig but i'm not jealous...

one thing i can't believe is that i built my 1.6a in feb 2002 and they already have 2.8. it's impossible to keep up...

 

[Aves]

Not a completely new rig, but I did get an Athlon XP 1700+, Epox 8K3AE MB, 512MB of PC2700 DDR & a GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB.





Edit: This was an upgrade from an AMD K6-2 475MHz, 256MB of PC100 and a Voodoo3 2000 16MB.

 

[pillage2001]

Does a new CPU count?? Got a Xp from Newegg and it's sweet.

 

[iamme]

<----jealous :|

real close to getting a laptop, though.....

me too.

 

[apoppin]

No, but it feels like new (new 8500-128MB video card, new MB - O/C'd current CPU 25% - new HD, and new 40x CD-RW).

 

[Amused]

Nope. I've made a deal with myself to not upgrade until the available processor speeds have doubled. For video cards I skip every other generation, and also get the best when I upgrade my mobo/mem/CPU.

This means I wont be upgrading until 4.0Ghz or higher... which should be about the middle of next year.
