Nelly 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I built the PC that I am currently using. Mainly it is used for gaming, and photo editing. I am going to be getting into graphic and website design too. It has:-Asus A8N-E nForce Ultra Socket 939 ATX motherboard -AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ processor-Connect 3D Radeon X1900 XTX / 512MB GDDR3 / PCI Express / DualDVI / VIVO / Video Card-Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty PCI Sound Card- Sony DRU810A / 16x8x16x DVD+RW / 16x6x16x DVD-RW / 8x DVD±R DL -Plextor PX-230A/SW-BL / 52x32x52x CD-RW-3 Gig DDR2-BenQ 19" LCD monitor DVI/VGA 8ms 1280x1024-(on the way)Samsung 244T / 24" / 6ms / 1000:1 / 1920x1200 / DVI-VGA / Silver / LCD Monitor-(2) WD 250 GB hard drives-Bose surround soundI'm also going to be breaking the bank on a new computer here in the next few months. It's going to be my first Mac (mainly using it for designing) It is a PowerMac G5 with all the bells and whistles (just thinking about it makes me cream):Two dual-core 2.5GHz PowerPC G5 processors1.25GHz frontside bus per processor1MB L2 cache per core4GB of 533MHz DDR2 ECC SDRAM 2-500GB Serial ATA hard drive16x SuperDrive (double-layer)Three open PCI-Express expansion slotsQUADRO FX 4800 512 MB SDRAM2- 30" Apple HD Cinema DisplaysSoftware and all this thing is going to cost me more than a brand new Honda!!!

Nelly 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 SweeeeeT! What can I say? I like my computers like I like my cars...fast and expensive. Plus, like I said I mess around a lot with graphic and website design as well as photo editing. The PowerMac is coming as I get closer to my degree and doing this for a living since thats what it was pretty much designed for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
