Hi All,
Just interested to know what Computer system people are running at home. My 'Home built' system comprises the following:
Motherboard: ASUS A7V600-X, 8 x AGP
CPU:AMD Athalon XP2600+
RAM: 512 MB DDR PC 3200
HD: 40GB Western Digital
Monitor: 17" LG LCD Flat Screen
DVD Player: LG 16X
CD/Burner: Lite-on 52X
Video: NVIDIA XFX GEForce FX5700 128MB AGP
Sound: Can't Remember
I have a 128 MB USB Memory stick to carry my work around and this is the best 'Tool' I have bought as I can now take Large slide presentatioons etc to other sites and change them as necessary. It sure beats a CD or Disk. I have recently binned (thrown out) my Scanner and Printer for an all in one unit. A Lexmark XP something and it has Scanner, Printer, Copier and fax capabilities. It prints fantastic photos. My Digital camera is a few years old a CX4000 series 2MP Kodak. The week after I bought it Kodak bought out the much better 6000 series which are now half of the price and up to triple the Pixel rate.
I think this is correct as I am sending this from work. A group of us, at work, have found it is a whole lot cheaper if we build our PCs from scratch so we buy the indivdual parts and one of the IT guys builds them up for a Carton/Slab of beer (Australian Carton is 24 cans). We also do rebuilds (as I have recently done) which are also cheaper than buying a full system. I have just upgraded my Motherboard, CPU, RAM and Video Card a few weeks ago.
As you can see I am a bit of a techno nerd when it comes to PCs etc but PCs have been in my family since Dad bought an old Amstrad with a cassette tape storage before moving on to the classic Commodore 64 and Amiga I will be interested in seeing what you have or some old PC stories.
