Running two machines...

My desktop:
Windows XP Pro SP3
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.24GHz
2GB Kingston HyperX DDR333 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB GDDR3 AGP video card (made by HIS)
80GB HD
400GB HD
1TB HD x2
Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard
HP w2207 Widescreen LCD monitor
DVD-ROM x1
DVD-R drive x1
DVD-R drive w/ Lightscribe x2
3.5" Floppy disk drive
Pinnacle Systems A/V Capture and Export PCI card & hardware

My Laptop:
Gateway P-7805u FX Gaming Laptop
Windows Vista Home Premium x64 SP2
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz P8400
4GB DDR3 RAM 1066MHz
320GB HD
nVidia GeForce 9800M GTS 1GB video
DVD-R drive w/ LabelFlash
Wireless card with A/B/G/N

Machines are tied together with a printer, an Xbox, and an Xbox 360 over Gigabit Ethernet (D-Link DGS-2208 8 Port Gigabit Switch). Media is streamed from the desktop to the latop and both Xbox's. When funding is available, I'm rebuilding the desktop with an AMD Phenom II X4 3.4GHz and at least 8GB of DDR3 RAM w/ Windows 7.

In the one picture, hidden behind the laptop are two original Xbox's. One works, the other doesn't (no hard drive). You can also see my old NEC 17" CRT, which at the time of this photo was connected a friend's PC I was repairing. Also pictured is a broken Canon scanner, and an HP OfficeJet V40 inkjet MFP (neither are connected). The default printer, not pictured, is an HP OfficeJet H470 inkjet attached to a mini print server. My 360 is actually behind the items in the other picture, in a shelving unit next to the PC tower (I think you can see the power button). I actually have a little device that lets me hook it up to the VGA port on the HP monitor.

BTW, based on experience, I highly recommend TSST optical drives (Toshiba-Samsung). That's the only ones I've ever used that I've never had problems with... EVER.

Edit: Forgot the 750W PSU (formerly a 600W), and the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Gamer sound card in the desktop. I should take a pic of the inside and post it...

What, that? That's nothing. There's still more out of frame for the stuff set up on the other side of the desk, like the 5.1 RCA Dolby Digital audio system the desktop and Xbox 360 are connected to... Some of those are external hard drives plus my phone charger. I never have it all going at the same time, and I flip the switches off while I'm at work.

I am the ULTIMATE at cheap upgrades.

AMD Phenom2 9350e quad-core processor,
ATi Radeon HD 4890 (1gb GDDR5 ram onboard)
Audigy 1 (old school, yes, but it doubles as my surround S/PDIF decoder nicely.)
2gb G.SKILLZ ram
few hard drives totally near 1tb i think.
750watt PSU
DVD burner
3.5" floppy drive


ALL FOR AT OR UNDER $500.

Seriously, most expensive thing I have is the video card. Haven't found a single thing to throw at it yet that'd slow it down. Runs any game I want, all my audio editing and creation software, and pretty much any emulation of other hardware I could want.


Also have a custom put together surround system involving an Altec Lansing 4.1 surround system acting as the "front" channels and a 300w Aiwa stereo acting as the rear channels. This translates to 3 subwoofers and about 14 combined speakers. I need movie theatres for NOTHING. :D

Will try to do pics later.

Nothing really remarkable here.

2 - identical HP Vista 32bit desktops 3GB ram/23 inch monitors - maybe 6 mos old
3 - identical HP 17 inch laptops - 3 or four years old
3 - assorted oddball brand (Packard Bell etc.) computers that moved in with Kadiddlebabe when we got married. She never got rid of old computers.
1 - generic desktop built by local comp store - about 4 yrs old

I gotta get rid of some of this stuff - need to finish dleanup on the lod ones so I can donate them to friends.

Oh yeah.....two wireless access points (N) and two eight port switches, XBOX 360 and Wii are networked too.
