Dgn Computer Survey

[Msterbeau]

I was curious what everyone is currently using and what they aspire to have if they had the money (Within reason.)

I have a homebuilt:

Antec PLUSVIEW 1000 AMG case, with 3 Antec 80mm fans, clear side and lockable front door.

Antec 480 Watt "TrueBlue" Power Supply

Motherboard : Intel D865PERL

Processor : Intel Pentuim P4 3.0 GHZ

Graphics Card : PNY Nvidia GeForce 6800GT

2GB PC2700/3200 DDR333/400 Memory

1 MAXTOR ATA/EIDE 20GB 7200RPM Hardrive

1 HITACHI 7K250 ATA/100 200GB 7200RPM Hardrive

Sony DRU-810A Dual Layer DVD Burner

SAMSUNG SD-616F DVD-ROM Drive

My Ideal at the moment would be a 17' MacbookPro with a 30" Apple Cinema Display. Since I can't afford that I will likely get a 24" IMac sometime soon.

We have an emachines T2858. Came with a 2800+AMD athlon processor, 80GB hd, 512 MB ram, DVD/burner combo drive.

We are not into complex gaming, nor anything that requires a particularly custom system. So this does us very well.

We got it 2 years ago around this time. We walked into Tiger Direct expecting to get a custom-built job. But we saw these on the reconditioned shelf, and the price was too good to pass up.

We also have a Sony Vaio. I do not have the specs available, but it is a very good unit. We got it free - traded a bunch of weight lifting stuff we found in the trash to a co-worker of Jon's who didn't know any better.

my next plan...

either chieftec tower or antec P180 case.

decent modular powerpack

Abit An9 mainboard

intel core 2 (not the extreme)

creative X-fi

Lite On DVD-RW (scavenge of current)

Geeforce 6800

2 Mb corsair Ram (possible) in dual channel mode

2 SATA drives

but Lan-li have released a double case sectioned of down center. tempting to buy that and sit it under the desk ready to go to a heat pump and liquid cooler if i decide to overclock at a later date

[Soulrev]

Complete rig -

2x Dell UltraSharp 20.1" Widescreen LCD monitors (letting a friend borrow one for now)

Logitech Z-5500 505watt 5.1 surround sound speakers (very nice, I suggest these to anyone)

Logitech MX518 Optical Gaming Mouse

Logitech wireless keyboard (not sure of the model, came with a wireless mouse that I don't use)

In the tower-

Lian Li PC-75B black full tower case with window

Eagle Tech POWERONE 570watt power supply

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard

2 Seagate Barracuda 120 gig hard drives

1 Western Digital RAPTOR 10,000 RPM 75 gig hard drive (for games)

Samsung Dual-Layer CD-R/DVD+/-R burner

Samsung DVD/CD Player

Corsair 1gig PC3200 memory

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHz .90nm Winchester Core socket 939 processor overclocked to 2.3GHz

eVGA nVidia GeForce 7800 GT vid card (borrowed from friend till I buy a new one)

Other stuff-

Midiman OXYGEN 8 keyboard

Reason 3.0

Microsoft fingerprint reader (cool gadget and it really works)

usb floppy drive

X-Ray Thunder 9 mousepad (really big surface and lasts forever)

All together my complete system accessories and software included, my rig cost me about 5,500 dollars. A good chunk of that is because of the OS and Reason 3.0 put together that's like 650 bucks.. The Dell monitors were about 1250 bucks at the time I bought them. Then, various other BS like fans, lights, knick-knacks and paddywhacks that added up..
