I wanted to start this thread cause i'm interested in knowing what all the XDA'ers hardware is! I will start! Just post your specs here, and i'll try to keep track of the top 10 computers.
Try to keep this format if possible:
Laptop or desktop:
Processor, and speed:
Memory amount, speed, and type (RAM):
Graphics, memory, and speed:
Hard Drive space amount:
I'll start!
Laptop or desktop: Laptop
Processor, and speed: AMD Turion Ultra x64 at 2.2Ghz
Memory amount, speed, and type (RAM): 4GB, at 667Mhz, DDR2.
Graphics, memory, and speed: ATi Radeon 3200 HD, 1918MB shared, 667Mhz.
Hard Drive space amount: 250GB HD (SATA)
Laptop or desktop: Desktop
Processor, and speed: AMD Phenom x4 x64 at 3.0 Ghz (AM3 socket processor)
Memory amount, speed, and type (RAM): 6GB, 1Ghz, DDR3.
Graphics, memory, and speed: Dual nVidia 9800GTX, 2GB (1GB each), 1Ghz GDDR3.
Hard Drive space amount: 2TB HDD, and 250 GB eSATA (External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
1. OpenGL32's workstation.
2. So far, mine!
3. NotATreoFan's desktop and laptop.
4. Liamhere's computers.
5. Stylez's computers.
6. Lasterato's Desktop I suppose?
7. Kraize's Desktop.
8. orb3000's laptop.
9. Derekwilkinson's Laptop.
10.
Remember, this might not be correct, its just from my point of view.
Laptop or desktop: Laptop
Processor, and speed: Core 2 Duo 1.83ghz
Memory amount, speed, and type (RAM): 2GB, at 667Mhz, DDR2.
Graphics, memory, and speed: Intel GMA 950,

Pretty nice for a laptop. Its not half bad. I suppose its a mac?
Desktop
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20GHz
2.19GHz, 1.99 GB RAM
On-board Intel graphics
HDD Space:
1) 150gb - XP3, Red Hat, BackTrack
2) 500gb - Storage
Thats pretty nice. I do recommend you get a graphics card, those accelerated graphics suck. Lol.
True, but right now for my needs it's fine I'll probably get one when it's cheap and when I need it. Mostly use Linux these days.

I would agree with you. But I don't think it ate mine. Sure his processor is faster, but I acquire more RAM than he, so I personally think mines faster. His P4 might be 3.4Ghz, but mines quad-core at 3.0 Ghz, and theres 2 of them, and my RAM is DDR3 at 1000Mhz, while he's stuck at 533. [: And look at my graphics cardS, while he has a graphics card.
Don't get me wrong, his computer is a beast, but he has a little bit more before he gets me.

Wait. Did I forget to mention, take my computer and multiply it by 4 to get the one working computer? It's 4 computers hooked up to one monitor and each of them are combined with each other to work faster to achieve more. I call it. My custom home server!

No. I'm serious I would have a Blackbird but I'm a poor 16 year old and if I save money I can't buy the new WinMo devices that come out xD lol. I'll probably be running a couple blackbirds in college @[email protected]

Yes, i'm a Hardware-Junkie
While your processor is faster, on your workstation than mine, and you have a slight more amount of ram than me, my RAM is ddr3, and I have dual nVidia 9800's, GDDR3. I think mine is still better. But I will but yours in first place. Congratulations.

For the cash you're spending, get better sound. Get a home 5.1 hi-fi system and spend some money on sound-proofing.
Also, PIPE-DREAM.
The price of that is about £2,400.
I used an online configurator thing and thats what i got.
Just for fun! LOLZ!!

FVCK YOU.
And here I was gonna ask for pics when you finally build it.
BTW, I spotted an actual flaw with your build: The PSU is seriously underpowered. You are running a pair of 6970s, and I'm afraid 650W might not cut it.
Hey my girlfriend got accepted into Environmental Design and she needs a laptop with certain hardware specs, she has a macbook right now but is more of a Windows girl.

A lot depends on her budget and what specs she needs. I'd assume that she must have a dedicated GPU, and a decent processor.
MBPs pretty much compete with Dell's XPS line and/or the lower end Alienware line. You can also check out Lenovo and Asus to see if they have the same.
And laptops are very comoditised. Just get a brand you are comfortable with at a price you liked
Also, marry her. Now. There aren't many girls left that prefers Windows over Mac. I mean it.
I'll go ahead and say this so it's clear. I'm not using a pirated copy of OS X. I have a Mac Mini that crapped out on me, and I don't really feel like spending money to fix it or buy another one, so I found a way to not let my authentic OS X Lion and license that I paid for go to waste.
So like the title says, if you've built one of these amazing machines, what hardware did you use? There is a good bit of hardware that works perfectly, and there is a lot that doesn't. Luckily I've found a perfect combination to run OS X flawlessly.
There is no need to go into the method in which you installed the OS. I'm just interested in how creative you guys are for the hardware aspect of it.
These are my specs:
Build name - HOLLOW-X
Case - APEVIA X-Dreamer 4 case with 7x120mm fans and 1x200mm fan (blue LED)
PSU - Rosewill HERCULES-1600 (1600 watt)
MOBO - ASUS P5Q (With modified BIOS for OS X to boot with AHCI configuration)
CPU - 2.66GHz Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 (clocked at 3.1GHz)
(Reads as XEON on OS X)
CPU Cooler - Thermaltake Silent TMG i1
Memory - 16GB G.SKILL DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Graphics card - SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 5850 2GB GDDR5
Disk Drives:
Pioneer 16x Blu-Ray/DVD Writer
LG Blu-Ray ROM/16x DVD Writer
Hard Drives:
250GB 10,000RPM Western Digital Black Series VelociRaptor (Retail OS X 10.7.2 Lion)
1TB Western Digital Scorpio (Windows 7 Ultimate)
320GB Western Digital Caviar Blue from a WD My Book (Kali LINUX)
500GB 2.5" Western Digital Scorpio Series with ICY DOCK USB enclosure
(Has a railed Caddy system to hot plug the entire enclosure, and other 3.5" SATA drives as well, into the computer case)
A lot of people that hear the specs say stuff like "That is a pretty awesome gaming rig"
What's funny is... I don't play a single game on any of my computers. Lol
Installer written using a MacBook Pro, no pirated distros (except for when I don't have access to a Mac, it's my old man's)
Well, really, it's supposed to be just a gaming rig, but everything accidentally matches up for Hackintosh except for networking
CPU: I7-4770k
Should've gone for the non-K variant, as I don't OC anyway and need VT-d support
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 SC
Very good Mavericks support, Yosemite needs webdrivers, which can be a bit laggy
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z87M-D3H
Again, should've gone for the bigger non-M variant, apparently got more free drives and SATA ports are filling up like crazy
Sound: Realtek ALC892
Used Toleda's SSDT injection and AppleHDA patch. Works perfectly (STAY AWAY FROM VOODOOHDA)
RAM: 4x2 Corsair Vengeance and 4x2 Kingston HyperX
Network: Belkin USB-N300
It uses Realtek RTL8192SU (Nope not a typo, SU not CU. Weird, eh? SU is NOT supposed to be a USB adapter, but it somehow is.) Downloaded drivers from Realtek's site, works perfectly. Needs additional Ethernet kext to enable appstore. Not a native AirPort card
Drives... [emoji57]

Hi, I'm a new Android developer and I would like to know what is a recommended build for developing applications for android like 2D games and utility apps. Will Android Studio benefit from multiple cores like an 8 core processor? Will adding more RAM be better (8GB RAM)? I made this build and already own Monitor, mouse, keyboard, and network card.
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($165.93 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($48.45 @ OutletPC)
Case: Antec One ATX Mid Tower Case ($47.30 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($39.99 @ Amazon)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($13.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $445.63
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Your hardware seems sufficient enough as it is.
Good graphic card always help.
This hardware will run AS pretty smoothly. In fact, it runs well on Macbook Air 2013 - but builds sometimes take quite a bit of time(up to a minute vs 20 sec on my desktop which is a monster)
You're fine. I run Android Studio on a quad core AMD from 2011 and an NVIDIA GTS 250 with 4GB of RAM.
I want to share one more thing, on Mac OS, run Android Studio with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 for optimized font rendering. You can then configure your project to use Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 or JDK 7.
All the best. :good:
