An aging P4 3.2Ghz, Asus motherboard, XFX 9500GT, couple Tb drives, Win7 & Ubuntu 12.04 (Pangolin AFAIK) dual boot.
Plus, when I'm at home my A500 has a home on the desk as an aWARemote tool for Winamp etc...
Dont mind the mess, its the only place in the house I'm 'allowed' to be messy (damn these wifey characters!).

Yes there is, but I tried and failed. I can't find it. If anyone finds it then a link here would be great, but until then it's a valid thread.
And to stay on-topic (which pains me to do so), you REALLY don't want to know my PC setup! Seriously

Show it! Is it a notebook or something like that? If so, don't be embarrassed, the only thing i have is a crappy laptop, but i don't need anything else. I don't play games, so i don't need a lot of power. SHOW IT, or tell us what you have

Lulz^^
This is why I love forums. I only use my desktop as a permanent media server, which it does just fine...
I posted in the other thread too

Since you asked so nicely
It's an "e-machine" custom built thing with a dual core 2.4GHz CPU (of some make or other - I think it's an AMD) and 4GB of RAM. I pretty much use it for browsing, DLNA streaming, software development and writing music. It doesn't need massive specs as I don't game on it that much. I've got a couple of Star Wars games, but they happily run at decent res as they're years old.
It suits my needs, but is by no means a powerhouse. I'm a console gamer, but if I wasn't then my PC would be pimped to the max as I'd game on that instead. I needs my games!

Same here, got a 360 but dont bother with that all the time either. Nice media extender though...

Thanks! Now, was that so hard? It's still better than my laptop. I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 with 2GB RAM. Not sure on the rest of the specs, but it's not fast at all. But it's OK for doing daily tasks like reading news and streaming/downloading things. If i want to game i'll power up the good ol' PS3.

Some of you have already seen these, but since it applies, here's my PC. I call her Cocaine.
I hope you like white haha.

Looking for a new laptop...Suggestions?

Well, the MacBook Pro is on eBay, and I'm in need of a replacement. Not that there is anything wrong with it, I'm just done with Apple.
Anywho, I'm in the market for a reliable, fast, and new computer (PC, no mac )
The minimum specs I'm looking for:
* Intel i5 or i7
* At LEAST 4 gigs of RAM
* Less than 2 inches thick
* At least a 15" screen
I'm also open to suggestions, so let me know.
Do you guys have any personal preferences/experiences? Best place to buy?
Sony Vaio (of some kind) or..
Alienware Laptop?
Or Dell?
Iam a dell fan even though i haven't bought any of their equipment.
Try this: http://laptoplogic.com/laptop-finder/advanced
Any price range?
by the MacBook pro I'm guessing 800 1000 is close?
I bought a Msi a6200 at electronic express for $549 on no tax weekend here. Core i5 430m, 4gb ddr3, 500 gb hdd, Bluetooth, wireless n card, and HDMI out. I'm loving it. Asus laptops are also nice.

Thanks for the link flyboy.
My family has had some bad experiences with dell in the past. I used to love their commercials though lol. "DUDE, you're gettin' a DELL!"
Alienware is definitely one of my prospects...Haven't really seen any that I would consider "thin"...But I'm used to the mac of course lol.
@Max I was just thinking that I should have posted a price range. Anything from $800- ~$1100 (US)
+1 vote on sony vaio , looks nice also it will get u laid

Not necessarily "thin", just something thinner than two inches that I can lug around school without breaking my back, or backpack.

Yep. I don't think an alienware is really worth it unless it's a desktop anyways. Some of em look really sick though.

*Not Phone Related* - NES Gaming PC - Celebrating 25 Years

So...for those who want to take a break from all the phone stuff, I thought I'd share a small project of mine.
I recently completed a PC build I did back in October and decided to document the progress of the build with three videos (last one, part 3, linked above). I took an old, non-working NES and used it as a case to make a NES PC gaming rig that does one thing - play NES games with the original, unaltered NES controllers. I know that NES PC mods are nothing new and that many have been done before, but it was a fun hobby project. Anyway, let me know what you think!
Here's a few pics of it:

This marvelous idea has inspired me! i am currently making a gamecube controller external hardrive/bluetooth unit...
i just need a bit of help, do any of you guys know where i can get a 2 way usb splitter?
something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/4-Port-Way-U...&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=6892448881617951994
but only 2 way???
if all goes well, ill post a guide on how to make one
(oh, if you know of a three way splitter that could be useful as well, as i am thinking of adding a usb LED)
(oh again, if you know of a four way splitter like the one linked, but with a smaller "convertor box (for lack of a better word)" please link that also, as i can just cut one or two of the usb's off)
hope that made sense.
Nice! I haven't had time to watch the video so pardon if I'm asking a dumb question, but what are the specs of the machine?

yeah, i was thinking about that...
but the coverter box thingy is a bit big to fit inside the gamecbe controller, and if its outside, it looks a bit tacky
_
EDIT: i have it sorted now, im going to get the 4 way and just use a mini bluetooth dongle and mini usb drive, the other two will exit through the bottom of the gamecube controller, so as to make it a two way usb hub AS WELL AS a bluetooth and external hardrive unit
i will post a pic in a couple of weeks after the items arrive

The specs are:
Intel E5300 @ 2.8GHz
Geforce 9300 onboard chip
40GB Intel SSD
150W Pico PSU
It's waaaaay overpowered for just playing NES games, but it barely manages to run Hyperspin (the front-end, aka the menu) with all the bells and whistles (it's very CPU intensive as the entire menu is based around flash). So that's the reason for having such a strong GPU/CPU. I could have possibly gone with another front-end that isn't so intensive, but I really like Hyperspin and the options it gives you for building out a menu.
For the SNES build, I'm going with a sleeper look, which means I can't cut holes in any of the case - and that means I need to have a passively cooled motherboard and proc that won't overheat. So I'll need to find a way to lower the specs while still managing to run Hyperspin at a decent framerate. It'll be interesting when I start it - I love these kinds of projects.
Flash should be hardware accelerated, so it should be mainly dependent on your gpu. It is overkill for NES, but it is pretty sweet still.
anyone know where i can buy a cheap (broken preferably) xbox original online?
ebay doesnt give any results (only broken xbox 360's)
any ideas?

Really? Thought flash was CPU. Is flash run via DXVA now? Didn't seem like it on the box. Oh well, regardless, Hyperspin takes up a lot of CPU if you turn all its features on. But it's a great front-end.

hmm... you could always try a via nano-itx motherboard (120mm by 120mm) for your sleeper build, the one with the 1.5ghz processor might work well as it's graphics chip supports hdmi output...
i just think it may be hard to fit a mini-itx board in the case without cutting some holes at the back.
EDIT: oh, what mobo did you use in your nes?
I used a ZOTAC GF9300-I-E. Yeah, for the SNES build I'll need to go smaller perhaps. I won't be able to start on it for a few months though. But I already have a pretty good idea for what the video will be like. Should be fun!

Gaming Comp

Im looking to buy a new gaming computer because my mac is really not built for it. It runs some games pretty well under windows but not as good as i would like. i have a quote for 1000$ for it atm (2.54Ghz MBP 2009 model) and i have 600$ of extra cash im willing to put into a new computer.
my basic question: What is the best gaming computer i can get in the price range of 1400-1600$?

In all seriousness, you are better off building your own because it will be cheaper. If you go that route, the only things that will be expensive are the CPU, GPU and motherboard.
Now if you don't know what processor to go with, I suggest you check out Intel's 2600K. It is Intel's new Sandy Bridge processor and it is FRICKING awesome for its price. Easily overclockable up to 4Ghz on air.

1600$ Max? I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Alienware's m11x and m15x are solid laptops with a good price. You can also check out HP also or Dells XPS series which are pretty noteworthy.
Take a look at asus laptops. They have the best price for what you get.

wow....no
i definetly am looking at Asus and Alienware atm.
do you guys have any specific models that i should take a look at? maybe a config that has worked well?
Just go for Alienware if you 100 % wants gaming laptop
If you only wants a gaming laptop then go after processor and Graphics card because RAM And hard drive you can upgrade that later , You need solid Nvidia GTX Series for good gaming
I know Lenovo's aren't technicaly gaming PC's but they have some great specs for the price there
I'm in the Alienware camp as well. My brother has one and he can multi-box WoW (5 account bot team lol) with no lag whatsoever.
But it runs any game he wants to on it with no lag and its pretty slick looking.
ive heard alienwares are a bit overpriced for what they are worth, however i like the power they put into those computers. I will definetly check that out. also, should i go for a custom built comp or just one pre-configed?
Well you cant cave in so you'll have to get atm a good solid computer thatll last you the next 10 years

joke aside best bang for the buck (or should i say fps for the buck) is the sager brand , go ahead , compare the specs and price with alienware , or anything ya want

Advice for a laptop

Hey guys! So I'm trying to look for a good laptop, but I'm on a tight budget right now. I just want to get the best laptop out of my money which is $700. I'm not really expert when it comes to buying computers.
I prefer 14" screen because I'm going to bring it everyday to school, so portability is really important. I might do a little gaming on it but I'm going to use it mostly for programming.
Here is an HP laptop that I've seen with good reviews. It has an I5 processor which I believe is good, and it also has 6GB of ram. But what about the graphics?
http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-d...ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1319610557&sr=1-1
This one is from Samsung's website, it's a little more expensive.
http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP300V4A-A02US
Any other suggestions?
Noooo! Not the pavilon! Dx They NEVER agree with Linux. Or at least my friend's laptop did.
With $700 you could get an awfully decent laptop. I suggest searching new egg for some good deals.
Edit: That Samsung is kinda sexy...I would read into it and see what people think. Also, I have a gateway and it works fine for all my computer related coding needs! And school stuff!
-Hercules composed this post and threw it at your face to be read-
No hp laptops!!!!!
i do like there laptops but recently they are stop supporting them... i personally not sure about a samsung... i would go with a dell...
Ok I'll remove HP from my options. I'll look at dell laptops right now.
This one I think is the best I can get but it's almost $800 if I want it to be intel I5.
http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-n411z/pd?p=inspiron-n411z&ref=aZ1T
The best place to check would definitely be newegg, they have such a huge selection and you can narrow it down to exactly what you want then find the best prices and read the reviews.

Haha just kidding.
Do you think choosing i5 over i3 will be worth the money? I might not play games anyway.

Honesty, if you're not gaming on it I would go for the most economical choice.

he asked for a laptop that can handle everything, not a UMPC that can't even do programming and gaming.
Still, your choice is tempting. I might even buy one for my brother

yep, brother.
actually, it is also can gaming. just single games. while, it's much cheaper now. i think it's very convenient.
Best Buy has HP's and Asus laptops for about $700 that will meet your needs.
You just have to catch them on sale. Check the Sunday flyer's often.

Hey guys! So I'm trying to look for a good laptop, but I'm on a tight budget right now. I just want to get the best laptop out of my money which is $700. I'm not really expert when it comes to buying computers.
I prefer 14" screen because I'm going to bring it everyday to school, so portability is really important. I might do a little gaming on it but I'm going to use it mostly for programming.
Here is an HP laptop that I've seen with good reviews. It has an I5 processor which I believe is good, and it also has 6GB of ram. But what about the graphics?

This one is from Samsung's website, it's a little more expensive.

Any other suggestions?

Whatever you do, get an HP laptop. They are the best. My extensive experience has shown that. I've had more trouble with Acer, Toshiba and others than I ever had with HP laptops. Right now I'm up to my 3rd HP laptop. My first one was a WinXP, which still is usable but need a new power socket. Number 2 is a Vista, which I am writing this on and number 3 is my newest Win7, which I reserve for coffee and breakfast in the morning at the table.

What is the best/most expensive device you have?

Mine is my pc, £800.
Intel core quad cpu, 2.33GHz
650watt PSU
asus 6770
4GB DDR2 ram
20" LG W2043S monitor, 21" TV
Novatech Illuminated Keyboard
111Games 3 on disk, 108 on steam.
500GB HDD
80GB internal HDD, in a enclosure.
If you post "my pc", or "my laptop", please post specs.
My iPad 3 $629 plus ~$120 of accessories
Edit: FIRST B**CHES!!!
What is considered as a device? Any electronic appliance? My laptop is 500€, my phone is... damn, 5€(Nokia 3310, sold my smart phone yesterday)...
Ah, continue...
My modded PC. About $1500 usd in parts, another few hundred spent on tools/Modding supplies. Hope you like white

That IS my system in both pics.. the one with the green lighting was much earlier in the mod. It was before I modded the cooler and did all the acrylic.

And maybe instead of Google, learn how to read the EXIF data attached to the picture file. All those pics were taken with the same camera. Just saying.
