There's a similar topic already, although the topic title is misleading. I'll change the title on the other one, since it was here first. I'll close this one.

I'll reopen this, as the other went off topic and such. Sorry Shigeru-san! ^_^;;

Yes it was but I was trained in computer hardware four years ago so I could have done it eariler if I had the parts. It cost me about 50% ($1500) less than the dell equavilent ($3000). I built it 3 months ago. The cooling is a generic fan in the back of the case and a stock intel fan for the P4. I monitor the system temperatures and it seems to suffice. Not to mention it keeps me warm in the winter time. I am thinking of replacing them with large low rpm fans (I will get one for the front of the case too) to cool more efficently and lower the computer's noise.

Btw, it uses the Intel 875P (Canterwood) motherboard and Corsair memory modules.

It's software and speed overwhelmed me when I first used it. Now I think it's slow. lol

Actually, I am thinking of replacing my 200GB WD Special Edition Caviar HD with a RAID 0 setup of 72GB WD Raptor HDs. That should take care of the speed issues (all due to the sluggish 20Mbps transfer from the HD). Then using the 200GB drive for weekly backups to negogiate the increased risk of data loss caused by RAID 0. Of course it would take me a while to procure the funds required to do so.

I buy cheap computers. as long as it works, thats fine with me. :P

I wish i had a P4 though, not a crappy celeron processor.

Mine:
Macintosh PowerBook G3
with Mac OS X Version 10.2.6
Memory: 320 MB
Processor: 292 MHz PowerPC G3

I have Nec speakers, and an Epson Stylus C82 printer with DURABrite ink.

I wished I had a better computer...

Well, here's my computer's specs, while not the greatest in the world, it gets things done.

OS: Windows XP Professional SP1
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 1.7 Ghz
Video Card: NVidia GeForce3 64Mb DDR VRAM
HD: 52GB (2 disks - 12 GB and 40 GB, partitioned into 20 GB partitions)
Memory (RAM): 512 MB DDR
Sound: Gineric onboard sound, I typically use headphones now

~~My Wishlist~~

Fastest AMD AthlonXP (but not a 64-bit)
ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 9600 (so I can also record from a TV signal!)

Lol, the service pack one merely means you passed Microsoft's authenticity test. Most people would shrug it off and say "Well, if I don't download SP1 they can't catch me". The thing is, programs now "look" for SP1 on an XP machine, and if they don't see it they won't install. You probably knew this already though. ^_^;

Service Pack 1 screwed up my computer. Orginally it's preinstalled with Windows XP Home Edition SP1. I installed XP Professional which isn't SP 1 and then it screwed up AOL 7.0.

Chain Recaction eh?. :P

It screwed up the laptop too... My mom yelled at me so we had to start the OS over again. :P

Want to hear my Wishlist?

3.4GHz P4 Extreme Edition processor
Another GB of TWINX Corsair RAM
Dual 72GB WD Raptor HDs
New case and processor fans.
Namebrand 300Watt Power Supply
External IDE HD Bay

That should just about cover it. lol Anyway, I suggest going for the soon to be released P4 Extreme Edition. It is faster than AMD's chips (current 3.2GHz P4 also is faster) and is pretty much a repackaged Xeon MP processor.
