Forum :: Lounge :: Post Your Specs (and Pics)

I'm in the middle of a machine build at the moment, have received confirmation that all of my gear will be arriving tomorrow morning, so I thought it's time to post up a spec thread. Share your system specs,postsome photos and ask questions and comment on other people's hardware. May even get some inspiration for that next big upgrade.

Kicking off this roadshow, I have my Apple MacBook (Late 2008). First thing's first, yes, it's a Mac. It runs Mac OS X. it's not as commonly heard of to modify a Mac. However, I did anyway.

(Click to Enlarge)

The system consists of the following (stock parts in black, upgraded parts in bold):

• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor @ 2.0GHz
• 8GB Corsair DDR3 Memory, 1067MHz Bus
• 500GB Seagate Momentus XT 7200rpm SSD/Rotational Hybrid Drive
• nVidia GeForce 9400M Graphics Processor (16 Parallel Cores, 256MB)
• 8x SuperDrive
• Arctic Cooling MX-4 + Copper Heatpipe (Covers CPU, GPU and Chipset)
• 1280 x 800 LG-Philips Internal LED Backlit Display (Custom Fitted) + Reinforced Laminated Glass Cover

My wonderful computer :P

eMachines EL1210-01e

• AMD Athlon 2650e 32-bit @ 1600 Mhz
• 2.00 GB DDR2 
•  320GB SATA II (7200 RPM, 8MB Cache)
• NVIDIA GeForce 9200
• HDMI
• 7 USB 2.0 Ports
• 14 in 1 media card reader

I'm actually thinking about taking all the modified parts and swapping them into a machine with an Intel Core i5... but I should make all of my expenditures back so no loss at all.

Trust me, I'm running on an eMachine right now, for their low price they aren't worth it unless you can put up with the constant flaws in the built in firewall.

ok, so heres my laptop:

Gateway, 4gb ram, 317gb(exact) harddrive, 15.6" screen, replaced battery..
It kinda sucks..

Desktop:

I built it, has AMD 3.2ghz 6core, 4gb ripjaws ram(need more soon), 1tb hd, radeon 6850 1gb graphics card, pretty much every things AMD or ASUS.

Well I had to get a computer for school and so I went with the cheapest package I could find. Never had any viruses in till this year. Used it for about 2 years virus free with no virus protection. Its all about how you run your computer and what you do on it. Though this year I've had so many problems it is notevenfunny.

But they are good little computers for people that just need to use words/excel/power point and to store pictures (if the folder doesn't get to big.)

That's what I was referring to. Mine worked fine for the longest time, then one day I started getting errors bit by bit. It eventually lead to PC Restores every 6 months, then 3 months, now it's down to one month. I don't want to bother bringing into a store to have it fixed because Ipayedlike 175$ for it, and like you said, It's cheap, but so cheap that it's not worth spending like half the worth to fix it.

Anyways, if anyone did not know this, you can find all of your system specs if you:
Start>Run>Dxdiag

Hope that helps someone.

Edit: Quackers, we have the same keyboard and speakers but not the same PC =P. Got a custom mouse but yours looks the same as my old one. Coincidence or just Intel and eMachines not upgrading.
