I've just ordered a few bits and bobs for my PC so thought I'd ask what you guys use? Mines a little out of date but I'll list the specs. This is just to learn some new types of set up - for one I'm used to only Nvidia / Intel I'm using links from ebuyer as I cba to look for cheapest sites Processor: Intel E8800 - Duo 3.0 hz - LINK Graphics Card: Inno3D 9600gt - 512mb - LINK Operating System: Windows XP Home RAM: 4gig - 32 bit XP only recognises 3gig or thereabouts. Case: Casecom 6788 - LINK Hard-drive: Samsung 1TB - LINK Motherboard: XFX nForce 750i - LINK I only just ordered the case and HD as mine was an IDE beforehand. My case atm is like an old school computer, really pasty colour, yuk. Hopefully I get on an IT course soon for maintenance as I really enjoy making and repairing them
About 20 or so I've made and flogged on Repaired some under the borough of Poole when I was up for apprenticeship work. Most repairs mind were to servers or software issues
Funny timing, just built this: Antec 300 Gaming Case Amd Phenom II 955 Quad Core Black Edition 4GB DDR3 Patriot 1333mhz Asus M4A78LT-LE Motherboard XFX ATI Radeon 5770 OCZ 600W PSU 64GB Intel SSD Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Not a huge amount then. It's very repetitive work, I couldn't do it. I used to love it making custom built gaming rigs with new hardware and good quality parts but building machines for general use.... It depends where you get a job, but if it's maintaining standard junk it's horrible IMO so I wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket so to speak. I hated it so much, I found love for a company I once loathed.
It's a standard (shite) computer, but I'll break it down as best I can. Intel Celeron Processor 550 (2.0GHz, 533Mhz FSB, 1MB L2 cache) 252MB Mobile Intel graphic media accelerator X3100 1GB DDR2 80GB Toshiba (I think) HDD 802.11b/g WLAN Windows XP Professional SP3 As I said... shite , looking at increasing that RAM to 3GB, and considering a new graphics card too..
I knew my PC was going to have the PSU at the bottom but I didn't think my P4 cable wouldn't reach the motherboard Now going to head down maplins tomorrow see if I can get a P4 to power cable. Until then my PC is open on one side of the casing with the PSU ontop
Almost finished, just have a wireless card, 12cm fan to put in / sort out some more wiring. Runs okay atm - Blue LED on the front fan is a bit though
Crespo, just wondering what PSU have you bought for your system? My system at the moment: X3 720 Black Edition @ 3.2Ghz XFX 5770 4gb Kingston DDR3 1600Mhz Enough for me.
My PSU is sh1te atm. Need a better one This is what I got today anyway 22inch LG and a logitech gaming mouse FX518 Btw the spring thing on the left, is a sample from a bed it's fun to squeeze when I'm p1ssed off
2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB 250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display Backlit Keyboard (English) / User's Guide (English) Copy & Pasted from Apple.com.
I can do as a f*cking like, cheers. I sold it to my mate for £120, so only lost a tenner. He's made up though and he has a two year warranty with XFX.
