[hzl eyed grl]

If a girl was smart, she'd be droolin' over your parts. . . . . . computer parts. When I was with Xerox Man, I wanted all his stuff. heehee

 

[notfred]

There are no computer parts in my bedroom, my girlfriend doesn't like them sitting all over the place, they're in a box in the closet.

 

[ElFenix]

dude, throw all that in a box and put it in storage.

 

[MrHappyMonkey]

i have no junk. My room has a Compaq presario laptop, and my office has a P4 1.4ghz machine. Any parts that i have after an upgrade go directly on eBay to recoop some of the costs of the new hardware.

Yeah, I am categorizing it, and loading most of it into boxes... some of the stuff I need for part swap trouble shooting. I forgot to mention a 486 mobo in there too. That's what I used to play doom every now and then

 

[Kelvrick]

All of the spare parts in my room have been fixed, renewed and sold to contribute to the "going out" fund. I haven't upgraded my computer in like 4 months. 4 months!! OMG. I almost ordered a radeon 9700 and a 48x burner the other day. Then, I checked my "going out" fund and found a whole lot of IOU's.

<== poor monkey dance

I am still using a TNT2 Ultra . I prefer to have multiple low end computers doing a whole whack of stuff than having one super computer doing the same. I learn a lot with the setup I have now . I can't really make all that much money on my stuff anyways...

 

[aswedc]

I have too many spare parts that wouldn't get 2 cents on eBay, a combination 10base ethernet/2MB PCI video card anyone?

want to send that my way?

 

[hzl eyed grl]

Dude, I need parts. My computer has been acting freaky lately. I have an eMachines *Blush* 366i2 and it's been freeeaaaaky lately. Kicking it doesn't seem to help.

Thats good stuff, but then where are your bragging rights? I have my main computer, a 700p3 laptop, and a 266 laptop. I figure I can't multitask enough to take up all 3 of those. I don't think I'll be upgrading my computer any time soon. After moving to college, buying myself a bed big enough to support a whole lot of rocking and shaking.

<== excited monkey dance

EDIT: Decided not to share that much information...

After moving to college, buying myself a bed big enough to support a whole lot of rocking and shaking , my satin sheets and goose down pillows, I'll barely have enough for books for college. Oh man, not upgrading my computer and spending more on my bed is gonna be soooo worth it... That, combined with a trip to victoria's secret with my girl, will make me a very happy sophemore in college with his own apartment and 3 weeks before school starts. I think I should stop talking now...

Bragging rights? . The P150 has 60Gigs of mp3s that are shared over NFS to the Cyrix 366 which is running the website Andromeda, from there I can stream my entire mp3 collection over HTTP anywhere that I have a net connection . Along with that site, I am also running
Mucmail, which I use for remote email (username test password tester). It uses a mysql backend (soon to be openldap). I have my own two caching nameservers so if the ISPs die I am laughing . I am going to add the P60 and make it a setiQ server! oh and my P200 is a TV that is running beside my main box.

 

[AsukaStrikes]

how can u *repair* a 450 PIII? if its busted, aint it busted?

Well, i mean the whole box ain't working. I think the processor is dead so I just need to replace it and it the box will be repaired

joking... actualy I am an electrical engineer and I was going to go through the processor trace by trace and fix the gosh darn chip

 

[jarsoffart]

Mucman can I get some of the RAM?

Sorry it's not for sale. I am building two computers right now and I will be using the RAM in those boxes. It's also good to have some spares lying aroud too.

ugh, sorry about the links in my post.... did some wonky stuff there

Sell what? None of it is worth very much... it wouldn't be worth my time to sell it. The 14" monitor is used for debugging other computers. The RAM will be used eventually. the two Intel CPUs are going to be used soon too. I know not all the legacy stuff will get used, but the stuff is cool to have, right?

EDIT: Oh yeah, the reason I was posting; to comment on the title of the thread. A room like mine (or yours) isn't necessarily a discouragement to a girl if you find the right one.
