How many computers have you had? What where the specs? What was your first computer?

 

My first PC was a intel pentium 3 @ 800Mhz with 512MB of ram and a 40GB HDD i also had a ATI Diamond stealth AGP card

 

My second system was a barebones PC my dad bought me to replace my PC because it was old and faster then his P4 LOL. This pc had a amd athlon 3200+ and a 8500GT with 1GB of ram that i later upgraded to a 8600GTS and then a 250GTS.

 

My current pc has a 3570K, a GTX 460 768MB and 4Gb of DDR3 ram and a 120Gb ssd with a 200Gb storage drive.

 

sorry for bad typing im being lazy as hell right now.

My first was the most pathetic peice of hardware I have ever owned and I loved it like my own child, an Asus eee 900 mini pc.

Couldn't run exe files, had a total of 16gb of memory 4 of which was already taken up by the shitest Linux thing I've ever used.

 

My second one was a slighly better compaq something or other, it was a good laptop that lasted a while.

Think it was i3 with 4gb ram, more than that I'm not sure.

 

My third was a pre built desktop from hp with some random numbers as supposed to a name so I don't bother remembering what it was.

it had stock parts an i5 and 6gb of ram.

 

My current one is a computer me and my step dad built.

it has a 7970 ghz, i7 2700k, 16gb of ram, 150 gb ssd, 3tb hdd.

I am on my 3rd PC, I have no idea what the specs of the first 2 were all I know is that they were made by my step dad, I would have been able to tell you the specs of my second one but I threw all the parts out apart from the hard drive. Although my 2nd one was cool because it was in an all acrylic case and all the fans were blue led including the cpu cooler.

 

I believe I broke my first PC by downloading so much stuff onto it, that or it was made of 2nd hand parts. Either way I loved both and am sorry I couldn't put in much detail.

CPU: i5 4430 PSU: XFX 550w Ram: 8gb Patriot Viper 1600mhz


Motherboard: MSI H87M-G43 Case: Fractal Design Define R4


SSD: 840 Evo 250gb, 512gb MX100 GPU: MSI GTX 980TI Gaming Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo

Wow, were do I start? I'm going to try to make this as short as possible.

 

1)When I was 17 had a HP pavilion with a Pentium 3, I remember it had a 8GB HDD in it and thats about all I can remember about it LOL

 

2) When I moved to Saint Louis, there was a guy I meat and his business was going under, I bought his inventory of PC's and printers for $550, yes I did not say that wrong, He sold me around 750 PC's for $550, I never went through all of them , but the ones I did had P4's, Celerions, Pentium D's, and Athlon XP's.When I bought them I was not expecting the guy to show up to my house with a semi truck load of them. I had to rent out three 5 X 10 storage units in order to store them all.

 

3) When i was in college I helped my professor build a firewall for the school and helped him redo all the networking in the building, they replaced all the old PC's they had at the school, so I asked my professor and the school administration if I could have all the old ones. in the end I was granted all of the old PC's at my school, 230 of them, most of which had AMD Athlon 64's and a hand full of the first Phenoms.

 

4) I currently own 6 computers in my house now, I have my sig rig which is in the description below, I also have a Phenom II 955 HTPC in the living room, a Phenom II 965 rig for my wife's rig, a i3-3240 rig for my daughter( which I do not count because it is only used for Disney games and media for when family stay's the night), a 3570K rig for my home media server and 3930K Hackintosh that my wife and I share when doing Graphic design work.

My 1st computer I can't really remember but it was a large cream one with the CRT type monitor etc

 

My 2nd one was an Eee PC by ASUS that I think ran some Linuix distro (it was made for kids of about 8 I think as it was tile-like interface, no desktop)

  • 512MB of RAM
  • 20GB HDD
  • no idea what CPU

 

My first "real" so to speak, computer was a Compaq Presario something Laptop.

  • Single core Intel Celeron CPU
  • Came with 2GB of RAM (which I later upped to 4)
  • 320GB  HDD

I got that laptop just as Minecraft came into public beta, I could not play very well as my FPS were in the teens. 

 

My 2nd laptop (4th computer) is another ASUS (ASUS N55SL). It's my pride and joy at the moment, it's not a "Gaming Laptop" but it does what I need it to do. Moderate gaming, school work, video editing and every now and then some Photoshop.

  • Quad core I7-2670QM @ 2.2GHz
  • 8GB RAM
  • GeForce GT 635M
  • 750GB HDD
  • 1080p screen (which is nice for a 15" form factor laptop"
  • Blu-ray drive (not so useful for me as I download my media)
