Diy Curiosity Question...

[TIDE-HSV]

How many here are operating on a machine they built themselves - and what are the specs?? Starting off, I've got a MSI MB, 1800 Athlon, 512 RAM, 200 Gigs, VIA 266 chipset, built about a year ago.

This made me think I clicked on the wrong link. :unsure: Doesn't this belong in the lounge?



Just for kicks I'll give the specs of the one I'm on tonight: pentium 166, 4gb hdd, 64 mb ram

I appreciate the classics

Well, how about you give the specs? That's what this topic is about.

I haven't built myself a computer yet, but I helped my friend put one together last year.

A whole mess loud of fans, lights, and heat sinks.

LOL, glad I'm not the only one. I bought a full tower, but I wasn't happy with the air flow. It had all these little dimples on the front plate, so I took a 1/8" bit and turned them all into holes. I've got four fans (five, with the CPU fan), Nvidia GeForce, Sound Blaster Live, TDK internal CD/RW, Sony DRU500A external DVD burner. Dell created a monster when the salesgal misled me into thinking I had off-site warranty for 2&3, when it was "parts only." By the time I had replaced all the parts, I thought "Hey, this isn't so hard." BTW, Jetje, where does your nick come from.
