And there’s the other stuff I have to plug into it, like the 12X FireWire CD burner, the iPod, and the HP LaserJet 2100M, but those don’t really count because I only plug 'em in when I need 'em.
Tangible stuff: iMac DV+ – 450 MHz PowerPC G3, 192 MB RAM, slot-loading CD/DVD drive, Firewire and USB ports, MacOS 9.2.1, the usual rigamoe.
Intangible stuff: No Melissa viruses, no ILuvYou viruses, no worries about h4xx0rs trying to hack into my computer, no noisy fan, no crashes, no conflicts, no need to reinstall the OS every three months…
…but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about a dual 1GHz G4 tower with 23" Cinema Display.

Er, it’s 2 years old and it still works for most games?
Well, let me tell you something about Pooter, my multimedia computer, then.
It’s the size of a large toaster,
has 147 GB of hard drive space
256 MB of RAM
16x DVD-ROM drive
900 MHz Celeron
and TV out.
Plays MP3s and DIVX movies like a dream.
(Runs unusually hot, though. Gotta figure that out.)
Just out of curisity, Coil and Jman, what are your 3DMark2001 scores?
Interestingly, my AthlonXP system also has no viruses (It’s really easy to keep Norton AV updated), never been hacked (firewalls are nice and free), I have no crashes, no conflicts, and I don’t reinstall my OS every three months.
I have this really cool Stormtrooper wallpaper.

My computer goes everywhere I go. Some of its peripherals stay in the office, some stay at the girlfriend’s apartment, some stay in my own.
PowerBook “WallStreet”, with the old-timey Mac ADB and serial and SCSI ports. 14" TFT screen. Vintage 1998 manufacture, but I bought it for a good price in late spring of '99 just before the “Lombard” models came out.
512 MB RAM, 500 MHz G3 PowerLogix daughtercard, 60 GB IBM TravelStar (primary hard drive), 18 GB Toshiba (expansion bay hard drive), 8 GB IBM (expansion bay hard drive).

Office: Dell 19" Trinitron as primary screen; original Apple Extended keyboard (ADB), the best keyboard ever built

I’ve been lazy about following up with Anthracite about buying her copy of OS/2 Warp
Oh, and I carry it around in a humongous Targus bag with a PC Card for digitizing video, a PC Card modem that lets me connect my laptop to the internet using a cell phone, a crossover ethernet cable, a CAT-5 cable, a PowerPrint serial-to-parallel adapter in case I need to print to a non-Mac-serial printer, a spare battery, stereo audio RCA-jack cables, Mac audio-in to dual RCA audio-in adapter, some blank CD-R media, an ADB mouse (original Apple single-button), headphones, DVD CardBus decoder card for watching DVD movies, and a CD wallet containing disks A through O of my MP3 collection plus utility and installer CDs (including PC MacLan to install AppleTalk on any PC I need to share files with; Timbuktu for Windows, Mac, and MacOS X; bootable CDs with Norton, DiskWarrior, and TechTool Pro).
I’ve been procrastinating on getting CardBus USB and FireWire because I keep hoping someone will put out a single CardBus card with both of them on it, even if I can’t run them at the same time.
This is definitely the best computer I’ve ever owned

I have now discovered these wonderful things called Home stereos so I sold most of my computer equipment. My “hot” little setup is a:
AMD K6-2 380
128 megs of ram
8 gig HD
Some kind of old ATI card in it
USB
17 inch CTX Monitor (suprisingly good)
HP Printer
w2k
Office 2k
Cable modem (200k a sec)
It works for me, and I can’t tell that much difference on internet performance than my parents 1.6ghz P4
I have an Amiga3000, with a motorolla 68040 50mhz processor, 16 mb of RAM, and it is my underdog favorite of my bunch. (Oh sure, I have some PC’s, too, but they are such a hassle)
Who needs Norton?
Who needs firewalls?
You must not install a lot of software, then.
(Hey, this is the bragging thread, right? 
)
I actually have two comps hooked up to a router hooked up to a dialup. Using a Linksys KVM switch as well to cut down on the clutter. Standard to both comps is Viewsonic A90 19" monitor, Logitech mooseman 3-button moose; generic, black, windows keyboard.
Anywho, the older comp is K6-2 550 w/128MB RAM; GeForce 256 Vid card; Sound Blaster AWE-64 Gold ISA sound; generic LAN; OS is currently Win98SE, but will (very) soon be dual boot to Red Hat 7.x. CD-RW 2x4x8; CD-R 24x; 30 GB Western digital; painted green and dubbed Frankenstein.
The new comp AOpen AK73Pro-A MoBo w/Athlon XP 1800+ (1.43 GHz)(currently clocked as such); Sound Blaster PCI 256 sound; on board LAN; GeForce 2 MX 200 Vid Card; 512 MB PC-150 SDR SDRAM (currently clocked at 133); 8x CD-R; custom front connector for headphones, joystick & USB; Parallel 24x2 LCD; the Joystick is a Thrustmaster (nuff said); 350 w PS w/custom AC outlet for the water pump; did I mention it’s WATERCOOLED!!! with a big ass 11"x6" copper heater core. A 120mm and three 80 mm fans (all w/stainless steel filters) blow into the case for positive pressure forcing air out the passive radiator. OS is Win98SE again. CPU currently operates between 32-38 C with ambient of 28C and I believe the CPU thermister is reading on the high side.
One of these days I plan on overclocking the new comp to 1.8 GHz = Athlon 2200+ w/mem clock of 150 MHz. New Vid card and CD-R as well. Then I’ll probably add a window in the top so I can watch the water swirl by the blue neon light I’m gonna add as well. That’ll be cool. Not sure what I’ll do with this 120 w peltier.
I have four computers…ranging from a 133 to a 233 to a 600 to a 1000…but the 1000 is a server with a RAID 5 configuration that is dual processor capable, 120 GIG capacity. Shitty video card but it’s a server, who needs a good card in that one?
All mine, no one else in the house with a 640/640 DSL connection that may be raised to 1 Megabit!
:o
Although the 233 is getting a new MoBo and case. It has an AT case and the MoBo is an ATX style.
