Name: Symbios
I’ve noticed quite a few people try to show off their systems by posting their specs in their signature (you know who you are!). I know that there are more details you want to post. But with that pesky 200-character limit it’s kind of hard, especially if you use HTML. So I thought why not create a whole thread for it!
So, go on, post every single little detail you want. You know you want too!
Here are my systems specs:

Oh and there are always my Spectrums ( or should that be Spectra?)
and my SAM Coupe
and my BBC
Woof

G,
This stuff isn't worth the cost of shipping. You should be able to find good old pentium machines complete and ready to run for 50 bucks or less on the local market.
Skip

I know what you mean skip, i own about 13 computer that i git that way. I find something cool though about buying things off of a forum. If you dont want to ship the whole system, would you at least sell me the hard drive?

15" Unbranded CRT (800x600 @ 75Hz)I want to upgrade my RAM to 512MB PC3200 to unleash some real speed and then I plan on getting a 17" TFT. I don't play games much but when I do I find it completely sufficient. I do have a Creative SoundBlaster 5.1 Live! card but I haven't fitted it yet. I think a lot of the speed from my system lies in the configuration of Windows XP. I can boot up in around 10-12 seconds from cold boot and about 8-10 seconds on a warm boot.

Just finished another pretty dated machine, its going to be a remote access machine that im going to use for running bittorrent downloads and such since in the dorms they dont allow bittorrent, or P2P programs. They do allow mirc, but Mirc is good for recent stuff, hard to find older stuff.
900mhz AMD Thunderbird
256 (mabey more later) pc100 RAM
1 x 10GIG 5200 RPM HD
1 x 40GIG 7200 PRM HD
320Watt PSU
Gforce4 Ti 420 64Meg
iWill KD266 MoBo
Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Probably go to XP and OC it a bit before I leave for school.

This system is HP 3216 200mmx 128 megs ram, Knoppix(using WindowMaker and directly logs into my user account on boot-up if I turn the power off at the power socket) installed on the 10gig hdd, 1 meg video. Networked to my other boxes via coax. 1 sec to desktop with the press of the front power button Runs like a dream. Who said GNU/Linux is slow.

Here I'll show ya... it's not a super computer as some above, but its something and i like it
Pentium 4 2.4GHz
128MB Ram (Pretty suck for an Windows XP machine, I'll upgrade real soon)
Nvidia Geforce4 MX 4000 AGP8X (that what the box says(of course, it's not a huge videocard, just 64MB ram, but I can use it pretty well in the 3ds max, so I like it)
Not sure of my soundcard (Intel 8280 1BA/BAM AC'97)
AOC 7E-BLK 18'' monitor
not sure of my speakers (I'd love a 5.1 system)
Maxtor 2FO40L0 (pretty lame i must say)
Floopy drive of course
JMLS-DVD-ROM LTD-166S (love DVD movies)
CyberDrv CW88D CD-R/RW 48x
Genius Keybord and Mouse (black, good ones, not wireless though :(...)
HSP56 MR Modem (56k, i'm not using it)
Motorola SURFboard SB5100 USB Cable Modem
i think thats allso, it's not a huge system, but works fine, I'll upgrade my RAM to 256 or 512 so I hope it'll run real smooth, I'm not a huge PC gamer(I got my PS2, moded btw (games down here are very expensive, some $100 a piece), so why bother), so that'll do it...
