Dell Dimension 4500

2.0Ghz Pentium 4
256 MB ram
40gig HD
4gig back up
forget what GFX card but it's pretty good
Harmon Kardon speakers with subwoofer (they're pretty killer)
DVD (not sure of speed)
52X writer which is currently under the weather

nothing special and i haven't upgraded anything besides adding the back-up HD and adding the DVD. i don't plan on adding anything either. it does what it needs to do and that's fine for me. i'm not some super computer guy or anything (not that there's anything wrong with that), so this set-up is just fine for me.

Here is a rundown of all my computer crap. I built all these systems myself and with my own money. I am going to be building a new computer pretty soon. You don't even want to know what it will have in it.

My current big rig: Orion.



The Insides:



Processors: Dual Intel Pentium 3s, 800MHz, and 133MHz FSB.
Motherboard: MSI 694D Pro-AR. 4X AGP, 5 32 bit PCI slots, four DIMM sockets, onboard Promise Ultra 100 controller, onboard Promise FastTraxx RAID, four IDE connectors, and one floppy connector.
System Memory: Samsung original, 512MB, PC133, and CAS latency 2.
Video Card: MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200, 4X AGP, 128MB DDR, TV out, and DVI out.
Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Platinum.
Network Card: Intel Pro 100+.
HDD Controller Card: Promise Ultra 100.
Main Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 4, 40GB, 7,200 RPM, 2MB cache, and single platter.
Media Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 5, 120GB, 7,200 RPM, 8MB cache, and removable caddy.
Media Back-up Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 5, 120GB, 7,200 RPM, 8MB cache.
DVD Drive: Toshiba 16X48 DVD-Rom.
CD-RW Drive: Plextor 48x24x48.
Floppy Drive: 1.44MB floppy.
Live! Drive: Creative Labs, inputs and outputs for MIDI, RCA, headphones, fiber optical, microphone, coaxial optical, and infrared remote.
Power Supply: Enermax 400WATT dual fan.
Cooling: Front: Two Antec blue LED 80MM ball bearing, Rear: Two Sunon 80MM ball bearing, Side: Antec 90MM ball bearing, all this good for 21° C on both processors.
Case: Antec blue Alienware "style" case. Side window with easy open side.
Monitor: ViewSonic 19" G90f @ 1152x864 32 bit color @ 100Hz.
Speakers: Klipsch THX 2.1 Pro Media.
Keyboard: Logitech Cordless MX Duo.

Mods: Side window with 90MM fan hole, biohazard fan grill, two Antec blue LED case fans, cold blue power LED, bright white HDD LED, cold blue cathode tube, rounded single device silver IDE cables, rounded dual device floppy cable, and black wire wrap for all power cords.

My small back-up system: Apollo.



Processor: Intel Celeron 4 1.7GHz.
Motherboard: Intel D845WN.
System Memory: Samsung original, 256MB, PC133, and CAS latency 2.
Video Card: ASUS GeForce 2 Ultra, 64MB DDR, TV in, and TV out.
Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! Value.
Network Card: Intel Pro 100+.
HDD Controller Card: Promise Ultra 100.
Main Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 3, 20GB, 5,400 RPM.
Media Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 4, 40GB, 5,400 RPM.
Program Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 4, 10GB, 5,400 RPM.
CD-Rom Drive: Creative Labs 52X.
Floppy Drive: 1.44MB floppy.
Power Supply: Enlight 350WATT.
Cooling: Rear: Two Sunon 80MM ball bearing.
Case: Enlight SOHO Sever Case.
Monitor: ViewSonic 17" E771 @ 1152x864 32 bit color @ 75Hz.
Speakers: Creative Labs.
Keyboard: Logitech cordless desktop.
Mouse: Logitech cordless mouseman.
Mods: Cold blue power LED, bright white HDD LED.

Here are the DOS boxes.

Intel Pentium 1 133MHz.
Intel Pentium 1 133MHz.
Intel Pentium 1 166MHz.

They are complete working systems with 15' monitors, but I am not going to waste my time with the specs. One of them once was my print server, but not anymore. I now use them to play with Linux, play my old DOS games, toy with BSD or Smoothwall to make one of them a nice firewall, and mainly for toying around with the old stuff.

Networking.

Actiontec DSL 4 port router with 802.11b.
Belkin 8 port 10/100 switch.
Intel 8 port 10/100 HUB.
Netgear print server.

Other crap.

Palm M505 PDA.
Panasonic MP3/CD Player.
Sony CyberShot 1.3 MegaPixel camera.
Sennheiser HD202 headphones.
Okidata OL 400E laser printer.

Here are some rough plans for my next system. Though I would also like a good laptop for school. I have held off for a while waiting for the AMD Opteron to be released.

Processors: Dual AMD Athlon FXs 1MB of cache.
Motherboard: MSI mobo.
Memory: Dual channel DDR, at least 1GB perhaps 2GB.
Video Card: I'll look into that when I build the system.
Sound Card: Probably the latest Sound Blaster.
Hard Drives: The biggest and fastest serial ATA Seagate drives I can find.
Floppy: Standard floppy drive.
DVD 1: DVD-RW/CD-RW combo.
DVD 2: Toshiba 16x DVD-Rom.

The rest is open to speculation and I'll have to really decide on everthing once the hardware I want is released.

Re: What's your setup? PICS!

wow polygon, i never figured you to be much on comptuers, but thats sweet. I dont think there is anything out there supporting dual fx's I could be mistaken however. Currently, the AMD 3400+ 64 is just as good as the FX in most benchmarks for about 400 a chip. At the moment, the best graphics card on the market is the 9800 XT, but personally, I would wait a while until the next generation of graphics cards are realized from ATI and NVIDA and see how they fair. Go for some raptors, i believe there are some 15000 rpm hard drives out avail for retail at the moment. Man, i would love to put that kind of money into a comptuer, instead imputting it almost all into my moniter, lol.

I built this last summer, so its not all up to date, but I'll be putting some new components in here pretty soon.
MoBo: ASUS A7N8X 2.0 Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2200+
Ram: 512 DDR
G Card: Gainward GeForce 4 Ti4800 128mb
HDD1: 120GB Maxtor 8mb Cache
HDD2: 20GB Maxtor (Photoshop/Music Drive)
CD1: 52x CD-Rom Drive
CD2: MSI 52/24/52 CD-RW

Externals-
Monitor (Left): NEC MultiSync XV17+ (CRT)
Monitor (Right): Princeton VL1715 (LCD)
Speakers: Logitech 4.1 Surround System
Keyboard: Microsoft Wireless
Mouse: Intellimouse Explorer from Microsoft (5 Button)

Of course thats not all the nitty and the gritty, but its a quick little shakedown.

Hehe, yeah, I have worked in the computer industry for a while. I love working on computers and doing just about anything to them. I've been looking for a dual FX mobo and I haven't been able to find one yet. I'm not worried though, I won't be building the system until the end of this year. By then I think everything I want should be out and stable, I hope. We'll have to see. I wish I had a lot to spend on the monitor but I'm sticking with a 19" or bigger CRT. I would love an LCD but I'm also a gamer, though I do hear that a lot of the slow refreshing problems have been taken care of with new LCDs?

Once again, I'll just have to wait and see.
