I made mine so it doesn't have a specifiec name brand, but I use AMD processors so I put a custom "AMD Speed Phreak" CPU sticker on it.

My next computer will probably be a Shuttle mini with dual monitor and s-video out.

Official site: http://www.shuttlegroup.com/specs_access.asp?pro_id=284

TigerDirect: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=485618&Sku=S451-3040

I also hope to have two flat screen monitors, a natural wireless keyboard and mouse, wireless Linksys network card, DVD/CD-rom drive, Media center w/ Sony flash slot. I will use with the two monitors in my study for software development, and in my living room and the big screen TV for games and testing. I'm current researching operating systems. I know Windows XP and Mandrake Linus work on the system fine, but I may do a dual boot Windows Media Center and Linux (version unknown now). My only problem with this system is that it doesn't have a parallel port. I know that port is out dated, but it is the only port I can use for Game Boy Advance development since I use a non-official SDK. If I could get the official Nintendo SDK for GBA (and DS since I am dreaming) I would be a very happy person.

Here's mine... *cough*

A couple years ago I added 128mb RAM, and apparently I'm maxed out at 256mb. *coughcoughwheeze*

Luigison, if you're thinking of a Shuttle, how about getting this? (It was just announced). It looks like a cross between a Panasonic Q and a toaster. See here: IWILL ZMAXdp. For the parallel connection, can't you just get a parallel-USB adapter? Also, if you're buying from TigerDirect, can you use this link?

Picture the slowest, most uncooperative machine you can think of. Got it? My computer's worse than that.

I might be Sadib...

Generic forum topic. Just post your computer specs using this form:

My computer specs:

AbercrombieBaseball · « **Reply #6 on:** January 07, 2007, 07:19:19 PM »

This is what manuals are good for! My computer is an Apple iBook from 2000 (it's orange)

- Processor: G3
- Processor Speed: 300 Megahertz
- RAM: 192 Megabytes
- Hard Disk Size: 6 Gigabytes
- Internet Speed: I have DSL, is that what you want here?
- Preferred Screen Resolution: I checked, it's something like 800 by 600?
- Operating System(s): Mac OS 9.1

I probably have the oldest computer of anyone here. My old computer was something like 16 Megahertz and the hard drive was around 40 Megabytes. No internet on that one and it ran Mac OS 7. The reason I bring it up is because I just got it out after someone told me to take the battery out if I'm storing it long term. It was actually an easy fix--the cover just snaps on and off of the computer and the battery is in a regular battery socket! (My old computer was a Macintosh LC)

I have two computers. Here are links to their specs:

I also have a couple of other PCs and an iMac that I'm not using.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #11 on:** January 07, 2007, 08:41:25 PM »

Actually I'd say Abercrombie's computer might be younger than mine, though they were made the same year.

- Processor: PowerPC G3
- Processor Speed: 500 MHz
- RAM: Originally 128 MB, but I upped it to 384 MB about 3 years ago.
- Hard Disk Size: 25~27 GB
- Internet Speed: I just know that I have cable, I don't know the actual speed. :D
- Preferred Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768, it's the maximum, actually.
- Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4.8, but I can switch it over to Mac OS 9.2.2 if I ever need to, which is rare.

AbercrombieBaseball · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2007, 09:02:28 PM »

It might be younger, mine came in August 2000...

I did a little research and here are the specs for my OLD computer (the Macintosh LC)...was cleaning out and moved the boxes, found the original manual there...

- Processor: Motorola 68020
- Processor Speed: 16 Megahertz
- RAM: 10 Megabytes (came with 2)
- Hard Disk Size: 40 Megabytes
- Internet Speed: None
- Preferred Screen Resolution: 512 by 384 (my monitor was only 12 inches!)
- Operating System(s): Mac OS 7 but it came with OS 6

August 2000

They might be the same age, that's the month mine was made.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2007, 10:24:30 PM »

My 486 has a 12-inch monitor. I don't think they were very uncommon.

Luigison · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2007, 10:29:34 PM »

That's nothing. Back in my day we didn't use monitors. My first computer was a Tandy that plugged into a TV and used audio tape for data storage. I remember coding on it in BASIC. If a line of code had an error you had to retype the whole link because the cursor couldn't go back.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2007, 12:14:20 AM »

My PCjr could plug into a TV. But I had a monitor for it. This computer was from 1984.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2007, 06:26:11 AM »

- Processor: Pentium
- Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz (this is my weak point)
- RAM: 1GB (that's 1024MB)
- Hard Disk Size: 77GB + 186GB = 263GB (it's mostly porn™)
- Internet Speed: Cable
- Preferred Screen Resolution: 1024x768
- Operating System(s): Windows XP Pro (for pr0s like me)

It's crazy that your form doesn't have "video card", the single most important thing for modern gaming.

- Video Card: GeForce 6600 (upgrading mostly useless until faster processor, but probably get new comp from scratch for that occasion)

Glorb · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2007, 12:02:39 PM »

- System: IBM POS-1965
- Processor: A gerbil on a wheel
- Processor Speed: Depends on how tired the gerbil is
- RAM: N/A
- Hard Disk Size: 2MB
- Internet Speed: Backwards
- Preferred Screen Resolution: 100x100
- Operating System: Human souls
- Video cards: Two Nvidia GeForce 8500 GTXs

But seriously, here's the real specs. And this isn't a joke:

- Processor: Pentium III
- Processor Speed: 666.666 MHz (what started the "Spooky!" topic)
- RAM: 224MB
- Hard Disk Size: 23GB (twenty-three freaking gigabytes!)
- Internet Speed: Dial-up (56k)
- Preferred Screen Resolution: Not sure
- Operating System(s): Windows 98SE
- Video card: RAGE 256 GL (never heard of it? Good)

AbercrombieBaseball · « **Reply #19 on:** January 14, 2007, 01:49:29 AM »

Computers that plug into TV's...try putting one of those old things on that 108 inch TV I just read about in the newspaper!

I was playing around with the old Mac and realized something. I could survive with just that computer if I had to. It has a printer, a word processor, a drawing program, and a few little trinkets for me to play with. The only thing it doesn't have is the internet. Sure, I like the internet to keep up with folks and get news, but if my iBook ever broke or something I think I could get by with my old computer.

Glorb · « **Reply #20 on:** January 14, 2007, 11:26:34 AM »

I've never really had a taste for Macs, mostly because I grew up on old DOS games like Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure and Duke Nukem. To me, the only things I ever use for a computer are watching Homestar Runner, posting on the FF, and playing games.

BP · « **Reply #21 on:** January 18, 2007, 12:03:25 AM »

What would I do without specs this good?

Heh, I just noticed in another image that Bird Person has "Compy 386" on his monitor. It's in the one above, but it's really blurry.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2007, 04:03:16 PM »

Well Sapph, your monitor probably doesn't have any more pixels to use. So it wouldn't do any good to have a higher resolution. LCD is different from CRT.
