Just assembled my new rig a month ago

33821415.jpg


Worked 3 months as a lifeguard to afford it. I'm so pleased with it. The apple cinema display is really the best LCD monitor to edit photos on.

The shuttle sb75s is so silent and tiny. It doesn't take up alot of space in my dorm room. A radeon 9800 pro powers the graphics.

Its only got a 74gb internal SATA 10k RPM western digital harddisk. But i have a 160gb external harddisk. Windows boots up in 5 secs and games run super fast.

I had enough of my tiny ibook but still wanted to preserve the 'mac' look.

Will be getting an apple keyboard in the future to complete that look.
 

Here's mine:

Pentium III 700 mhz
768mb SDRAM
GF2 64MB Ti, GF2 64MB MX & Rage 128 32MB graphic cards
2 x Maxtor 160GB 7200RPM in RAID 1 config, 2 x 20GB Seagate, 1 x 20GB IBM
2 x Sony E200 17" CRT, 1 x MAG XJ700T 17" CRT monitors running at 1280x1024 screen res.
1 x 54x CDROM, 1 x 12/8/32 CD-RW
1 x Epson C900 Aculaser colour laser printer, 1 x Epson Photo 1290
1 x 3Com Wireless router

Quite old system, but it still serves me well.

in addition to this, I also use:

P4 1.8ghz Fujitsu Lifebook
512MB RAM
30GB Hddsk

Powerbook G4 12" 1.33ghz
1.28GB So-Dimms
60GB Hddsk
Super Drive

My Gateway system has been running since I acquired it new in Nov 1999. Yes Gateway's vanished from this region now. Thankfully system is still running great, save for a few changes:

PIII 500mHz
stock 256 mb RAM (upgrd to max 384mb)
Win 98 (upgrd to XP Pro when 98 crashed)
20.4 gb HDD
CD-ROM
TDK Cyclone CD writer
3dfx 16mb graphics card (yup 3dfx bought over by someone else now; card busted and was replaced under warranty in early 2000 I think)
19-inch Gateway CRT
Altec Lansing satellite/subwoofer combo (upgrd from Boston Acoustics which died)

How's that for old? :)

I do the usual housekeeping to keep it running as best as I know how.
