    60gig 7200rpm
    GeForce 7800GTX Go (Yah, did the install myself)

    The new office computers are Dells (don't have the specs on me), and I've been quite happy with them so far.

    If for any reason I felt like moving away from Gateway, which is what I've got at home and have been quite happy with, I'd probably go for a Dell.

    New video card, battery and power strip ... $478.

    But I made sure when I bought my laptop that it was the modular PCIE slot. If you ask around and find out if you can fight a 6800 non-ultra from a i9300, I'd be happy to sell you mine.

    my dell is annoying me.


    first i have 2 lines on the screen ( i think i know the cause, at least i hope)

    two, my power cords keep dying, i think i have finally figured out that the power outlet is loose for soem reason as i have to keep it jerryrigged far to the right, putting pressure on it for it to work.

    two is annoying me far greater than one, enough to where i nearly snapped today, especially when my old power cord snapped, literally.

    What wireless network card did you get? If it's the Intel A/B/G, I'll give you a link to get a new one so that you remove that piece of crap from your computer.

    I have a Dell XPS
    P4 3.4 Ghz HT
    2 Gigs DDR RAM
    120 Gig HD
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

    The things a gaming beast...I will probably get a new vid card for it though..but the 9800 Pro does the trick for now.

    I have been very pleased with it & plan on buying a new XPS when I start my new job.

    Its not as bad as you would think...I'm not saying its as light as a lap top, but it stays in one spot, so the weight doesn't really bother me..I do like the fact that it has 4 cooling fans & easy access to the inside, when I want to give it a cleaning.

    Damn, I'm ready to buy a system and no one has released an nForce 590 board for Intel Core2 duo CPUs.

    Here's what I'm planning so far

    CPU:
    Intel Core 2 Duo 6700 or Core 2 Extreme 6800 (leaning more to the 6700, but the 6800 is enticing)

    GPUS:
    2 Geforce 7950x2 (quad SLI setup, as soon as Asus releases their freaking nForce590 board)

    MEM:
    4 x mushkin eXtreme Performance 1GB DDR2 800

    POWER:
    PC Power and Cooling 1000 W RMS

    HDS:
    2 Western Digital Raptor X 150GB 10,000 RPM HDs (1 for Linux, 1 for Windows)
    2 Maxtor 500 GB 7200 RPM HD (for data)

    CASE:
    I'm thinking of going with this case:


    I'm tempted to buy one of these physics processors too, but I wonder how many developers are going to support it:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121015

    Not sure on audio or what water cooling I'll use yet.

    I just got an HP A1523 from Wal-mart:
    Processor: Intel Pentium D Processor 820 featuring two processing cores
    Processor speed: 2.8GHz
    Memory: 1024MB PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM memory (expandable to 2GB)
    Hard Drive: 250GB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive
    Video Graphics: Integrated ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Graphics with up to 256MB shared video memory, Network Interface: 10/100Base-T networking interface
    also nice flat HPvs 19" display

    I got it all for $799, online its $950 but it was shipped to store for someone else and i guess the changed their mind. I'm verry happy, the Lightscribe drive sux though.
