Default Post a pic of your computer

I thought it would be neat to see what computer everyone uses, oh and don't forget to tell what it is.

Here's mine,

It's a Dell Windows XP with a 17" flatscreen monitor And excuse the mess, well my desk is always messy anyways. LOL

So you have a silver computer with a black monitor, doesn't it look strange since it doesn't match?

BTW, you've got an AWESOME looking computer!! What is it?

LOL I should've started this thread along with the cars one.



Antec Sonata case w/Antec NeoPower 480W power supply. Abit NF7-S2 motherboard. AMD AthlonXP 3200+. 2x512MB Corsair TwinX-3200XL Pro. Leadtek A6600 TDH graphics card. Creative Audigy2ZS sound card. Adaptec 1200A RAID card with 4x120GB Seagate ATA HDs in RAID 0+1. TDK 840G CD/DVD+-R/RW. YEData 8-in-1 internal card reader/floppy drive. Thermalright XP-97 w/Vantec Stealth 92mm fan on the CPU. Saitek keyboard. Logitech Mx700 wireless optical mouse. Dell 1907FP 19" monitor.





With this setup, I've had it up to 2.34ghz stable and the graphics card OCed to 600mhz core and 1120mhz memory. With better memory I was able to hit 2.4ghz. Considering that my motherboard and CPU are not great overclockers, they're pretty good numbers. I'm building a water-cooled AthlonXP-M box that will hopefully hit 2.6ghz stable and then I switch over to 64-bit.

Geez, you didn't have to go that much into detail about what it was, all you had to say was who made the computer like dell or gateway or whatever and what windows it was. LOL

BTW, whats that thing above the monitor? Also did you make the motherboard (guessing thats what it is, you know the thing where you have the neon glow at)?

Hey Durbkat, yeah, I like to pretend I have time to play games. But since it's in the kitchen, we rock while making supper.

I made the computer, if you want to put it that way. I bought all the parts I listed and put it together. Above the monitor is a power conditioner. Most of my peripherals are plugged into it (mouse base, Logitech speakers, cell phone charger, router, etc). I have the PC, monitor and DSL modem connected to an APC Back-UPS ES 725 so I can browse fishforums when the power goes out. I have that subwoofer, too, Newfie.

Is that that powerstip that runs a computer for 15 minutes when the power goes out to give you time to finish what your doing and to shut the computer down?

Yeah the APC is. The power conditioner in the picture just cleans up the voltage line.

How much did that power strip cost as I may get a couple to run my filters on my tanks because if it can power a computer for 15 min then think how long is can power a couple of filters and heaters, and heck it may even be able to power a small tv for awhile. LOL

They run from $50 to $5000 probably. Any local PC store should carry the APC line. It would power an LCD TV for a good amount of time probably, but CRTs drain the battery fast.
