What kind of computer do you drive?

[CyberCat]

Ok here's a question, we're seen most of your faces, know what you drive, know what your cooking skills are (or aren't :) but what computer are you using to post innane things here?
What computer(s) are you running? What OS? What makes your 'puter so kewl? Are you tired of my silly slang?
Please tell me about your alter of technology.
I realize I am probably not the first one to post thtis question, please feel free to inform me of this fact!

This really belongs in /dev/random, so buckle your seatbelts- we're going for a ride...

[eyceguy]

Mine keeps changing, cause something really bad usually happens to them. (its my computer luck, mostly hardware related)

Currently:
My Little brother's Compaq 4090US
AMD Duron 900Mhz
128Mb RAM
40 GIG HDD
--30 GIG Part Win98
--10 GIG Part FAT32 for Backup
ATI Radeon 7200

Currently out of school so Linux wouldn't get used much. Plus Im trying to fix my main computer and getting it dual booting.

[jlmb]

Don't have a digital camara so i can't take a picture and send it right away, but i should mention that is not a pretty looking one :D

Mine is an old, pretty old

PIII 500Mhz
256 Ram
40 Gig
Ultra Riva TNT2

Im assembling a 120Mhz pentium for testing purposes =).
As soon as i get a job i want to get a nice powerfull Laptop...i rather have a laptop than a desktop nowadays.

:D :D


CyberCat
I noticed the asian writting on your wall, where you from?

[bwkaz]

Yorsh -- floppy drive combo? That would be useful at times (don't laugh -- I've got a TON of old 720K 5.25" FAT16-formatted floppy disks, and even more 360K 5.25" CP/M-formatted ones); where'd you get it from?

My gateway/firewall:

Originally a Dell Dimension 4100, but changed a bit

P3-800 (original)
256MB PC133 SDRAM (came with 128, the second 128 is add-on)
GF2 GTS (original)
20GB hard drive (I couldn't get anything smaller at the time; just being a gateway, it has no use whatsoever for more than 4GB of space) (not original)
No sound card; no need
Some generic 56X CD drive (not original)
i815 chipset (original)

My main machine, home-built (like I should've done with the Dell... ah well):

Athlon XP 1800
256MB PC333 DDR (I want to get another 512 since it's so cheap, but just haven't gotten around to it)
GF4 Ti4200 (sans a couple of the capacitors that are normally installed... stupid fticomputer.com morons :rolleyes: )
The Yamaha DS-XG soundcard from the Dell ;)
Some generic 24x10x40x CD-RW
50GB of space over 2 drives, far too much of which is Win98-formatted (required to do remote access at work, unfortunately)
KT333 chipset, Biostar (POS) motherboard. If I built this again, I'd get MSI's KT333 motherboard.

And far, far too much heat in the area of these things. *shrug* oh well.

[plattypus1]

Okay, the one I'm using as MY main atm is

AMD 500Mhz
CrappyOnboard sound+video
60GB HD (upgrade)
256MB PC133 RAM
40x Compaq (ECH DIE DIE DIE!!!) CD-ROM
3.25" floppy drive
Iomega ZIP-100

I know, it sucks, but I'll be doin' better soon.

If you wouldn't have typed don't laugh i would have tought you were making fun of me.
:D

Don't quite remember where i got it from (think my brother brought from work...)...check ebay or similar for floppy drives combos.

I have around 30 of'em (disk i mean...not drives), i formatted one the other day and it worked.... :D :D ...DAMN they are slow!

[DJones6]

Toshiba Satellite Laptop
850 PIII
512 mb ram
8mb 3d video (if only i could upgrade that)
8x dvd
floppy drive
external usb powered zip 100 drive
and the only microsoft thing i use anymore...their nice gaming mouse that cost too much.

Oh and I use Suse 8.1 professional.
Switched over from Windows 3 months ago and I am enjoying everything but the lack of games, but hey, i play MUDs in most of my free time and linux can definately do that.

[CMonster]

Me (the dad): 5 Athlons (3 uniprocessor systems from 1.2Ghz and up and including a MP2000 dualie system) run the bulk of my personal hardware empire. Other than that my stuff is loaded with a lot of extras like Ultra SCSI 160, and most of the other extravagances one would expect in a modestly decent machine - tons of storage, memory, burners, decent video adapters, TV cards, etc. also networked laserjet printer, high-end scanners and so forth ... boxy 17 and 19" ViewSonic monitors

-all now worth 1/8 what I paid for it-

I also have a P3-1Ghz in my Fujitsu C-Series laptop (256MB and 40GB drive --intel is good enough to play solitare on right?)...dual boots Mandrake and SuSE Linux.

-I'm holding out for better monitors until the price comes down on the large thin panels-

My son: 3 Athlons 1.4Ghz and up (2boxy-boxes and a 1.4Ghz Sony Laptop) --AND a 17" iMac G4-1Ghz (I call it "the lamp")--

9-year old Daughter: 1 Duron 650 (running since the chip was released -and she game-hammers it every day (she dual boots Mandrake Linux and Windows 98)

With the exception of the Sony Lpatop and the iMac, all systems either run Linux exclusively or dual boot. All systems including Windows and Mac have at least some open source software such as OpenOffice or Gimp

Are you ready for the longwindedness of a loving parent that you have just unleashed?

*ahem*

Foxicle
-Mac Classic
-8 MHz Motorola 68000 CPU
-4 Mb RAM
40 Mb Scuzzy drive (internal)
The first computer that was my very own (non-family). It is like a best friend to me. Collect dust? Not on your life! After my Grandmother stopped using it, several years ago, it was sent to our basement (kiss of death). I found it, though, and started using it. Though the video sweep board is going out on it, it's still cooler than any other computer in the world! (I'm considering either replacing the board or using the computer as the basis for an extremely simple robot, when it goes out.) I don't care if it's obscelete! I'M KEEPING IT!!!

Cid
-Mac SE
-8 MHz Motorola 68000 CPU
-4 Mb RAM
-40 Mb Scuzzy drive (external, since it's own went out. The drive is called "Celes."
This is another abandoned one that I found. I'm planning on using it to teach a friend that Windoze is NOT the coolest operating system. (Hey, it may be an Apple, but it's still better than M$, right?) Since its hard drive is out of commission, I'm considering removing both the drive and the associated cooling fan. Maybe I could even find a way to fix the drive!

Mog
-iBook
-128 Mb RAM
-30 Gb hard drive
-CD burner
This is the only computer that I've ever actually purchased. I'm currently using it to post on this thread. I don't have the extremely close personal attachment to this one that I do to some others (Foxicle), but it's still cool.

Sabin
-Quadra 900
(I don't know any specifics, yet. I just got it, recently.)

Edgar
233 MHz PII
This is one that my Dad's company was throwing away, so I claimed it. It's currently my only Linux box (I need something to learn on, after all!). It doesn't have a monitor or anything, at the moment, so it has to be run via the network.

I will soon claim a Quadra 700, but it doesn't yet have a name, and I don't know much about it. It must be dredged from our basement...

I also have an ancient gray Toshiba-something that I'm sending to college with a friend. Just as long as it has a home... I haven't done much with it, yet, but I plan to put Linux on it (under KDE, to make the transition easier).

Last, but not least, I may be getting a PowerMac 5***, as well. Someone else claimed it before me, but if it's not out of the hallway in a week...

*gasps for air* Well, that was fun. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures, at the moment.

[randabis]

I don't name mine..

and collecting....

[RWiggum]

I've been mildly disturbed with the rate at which I have accumulated hardware in the past few years. I'm glad to know I'm in good company.

My Hurd:

1.) Athlon T-bird AYHJA stepping - 1.33GHz overclocked to 1.53MHz
Asus A7V133
Alpha PAL8045 Cooler
512MB PC133 CAS2
GeForce2 Ti 64MB
SB Live!
3COM 3c905B NIC
Adaptec SCSI-160 w/ Seagate Cheetah 9GB
WD SE 80GB w/ 8MB Cache
Creative 52X CD-ROM
HP 8x CD-RW
Antec Plus660AMG Case
OS: RH9 - for now. Soon to be fdisked.
I plan to go with Debian Woody on 80GB drive and Slack 9 on the SCSI. Will be my high-performance rig - gaming, graphics (GIMP/Blender), CD mixing.

2.) K6-III+ 450 OC'ed to 550
FIC VA-503+
128MB PC100 CAS2
Riva TNT2 M64 16MB
SB PCI512
8GB+4GB ATA/33 drives
Asus 52X CD-ROM
OS: RH7.3
My first Linux box, and my old favorite hot-rod. Going to my sister soon, so I have to re-install Win98.

3.) Sun Ultra 5
UltraSparc-IIi 400Mhz
512MB ECC PC100
Ati Rage Pro 4MB - soon to be some Rage128 variant
Promise Ultra133/TX2 - still hoping I can get this working
WD 20GB ATA100
Lite-On 52x24x52x CD-RW
OS: Why, Debian/Sparc, of course. My new toy. I love this rig. Not particularly fast at everything, but smooth in its own way. I'm sticking all manner of PC hardware in it, in blatant defiance of what Sun supports. :p

4.) Thinkpad A20m
Celery 550Mhz
256MB PC100
Ati Rage Pro 4MB - I can't get away from this wretched little mach64 chip.
Sh*ttySound (tm)
Xircom Linmodem
OS: RH7.3 - old faithful
My work box. Can't rearrange its guts like I do the desktops, so it tends to stay reliable. Posting from it now.

As you can see, I like limited-production AMD CPUs that I can wring every last cycle out of, and exotic hardware. If I can get comfortable with tweaking the Sun I may acquire an Ultra 10 also. There's just something about Unix workstations.

That's all I have now... I have in the works to build an AMD XP2000+ box to retire Hoss, and I'm about to "inherit" a Power Macintosh 8600/250mhz machine this week. I can guarantee that I'll have Debian running on that box before the week is up!

<edit>

Okay... I got the other PowerMac, and I updated the 8500. Here's the new acquisition:

Mothra

250mhz 604e PPC processor
2x4GB SCSI hdds
252 MB RAM
10/100 Ethernet
16xCDROM
Internal 100MB Zip drive

Running Debian Sarge, just like the 8500.

CMonster,
What a family!
Is the iMac one of those awful bubble lookin things? Does it have heat issues?

The iMac is the one that looks like a lamp stand where the guts are in the base and the monitor is one of those adjustable thin panels -I think it's really cool and I am quite impressed with OS-X

Hey RWiggum:

That Ultra5 working out for you? I hope so!


Yeah, man. Thanks for the Sparc disks. It's a lot of work to learn new hardware, but it's been pretty interesting. I spent the afternoon learning how to compile a 64-bit Debian kernel package. I'm trying to get the ATA/133 controller working, but I think I need a 2.4.20 kernel for that. I won't be able to boot from it, so I've got to figure out how to make a custom boot CD. The things that Sun never intended... :D

Have you accumulated all that over the years, or did you blow all your savings once?

As for me:
Built it myself
Athlon 1700+
GeForce 2 MX
KT3 Ultra (motherboard) with internal sound card
128 MB DDR RAM
40 GB Hard Drive
Dual Booting WinXP/RH Linux

Considering I built it myself (and was on a $550 budget) I got the cheapest case that still seemed (and was) worth it. I should stop using all these parentheses (They're really annoying)

Family Computer:
Dell from... '95, I think
Pentium II 350 MHz (or Mhz? I always get mixed up)
ATi Rage with 4 MB of RAM, can't remember model
192 MB RAM
40 GB Hard Drive
WinME, with a 10MB partition for a Linux that was never installed... *sigh*

I read all that, remember that I'm still only 11, and thank God for all his blessings... like Linux!

I have been collecting stuff for years, although the ultra 2' dual 400mhz 1gb ram machines are new.

Here are some more actually that I have not added into my array under the desk. (Ran out of plugs in the UPS lol) http://www.cheap*******.com/backup/closet-suns.jpg

Just picked up two more ultra5's@400mhz (new in the box) and six sparc5's too. Do not know what I am going to do with the sparc5's though... might sell them.

I also picked up a whole bunch of stuff from the Excite@Home auction when they liquidated alot of their equipment. What did I get? Don't know yet.. will let ya know when I dig into that.. I am still trying to wade through all the inventory that I picked up in January. I just need to figure out what I am going to get rid of. cause' all this stuff is for my personal use.
