Since the economy went to poo and my dreams of Japan became impossible, I spent what I had saved on this in June.

^ welcome back Datalanche, not sure if anyone else bother to noticed, but good to have you visit the thread/forum again. i got a 750gb ext hd, and so i don't have to worry about cutting back on videos, and got it on sale too, so its cool. nice system you got there, sounds super fast!
^ Why do you guys have such humongous HDs? xD Mines only 250 GB... (sad). Though I could always get 1 TB from FRY's XD On this computer... I have a ATI RADEON 9550, 1 GB RAM.. OS: Windows XP. So pretty much a little above a normal regular computer xD
^ Because they are not exactly expensive anymore... Also, if you post your specs, try to include the processor. Some people say it's important for your PC to run.
Oh duh, *smacks head* Intel Processor 4! Old..... I'll post my other comps up when I'm at my other house ^_^ That computer is screwy (cause of Vista) but is better in all other aspects.
I have lots of hard drive space for a few reasons, but the main one is: I'm lazy. I like to keep all my music, PV's, and stuff on my computer and have plenty of room to work around in. It also helps since I run multiple operating systems. Also, again with the laziness, I hate burning stuff so I just let things pile up until I've got a ton to burn, and do it all over the course of a weekend. Maybe that's why I go through burners relatively quickly. And thanks qilver. Nice to be back around. Oh and here's a picture for good measure. Speakers have since been replaced with a nice Logitech Z-2300, and the desk is often not that clean, but you get the idea.
welcome back Datalanche I replaced some components of my pc a year ago, Processor: Athlon 64 x2 5600+ @2.8GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 Ram: 2x1GB corsair xms 800MHz Video card: Gigabyte Radeon HD3650 512MB @800MHz (its 3d perofrmance is relatively slow so i overclocked so i can play crysis at 1280x720 medium quality 31fps at least) DVD RW samsung Hard disk samsung 320GB screen samsung 931BW
Apple MacBook pro - old stuff, not the *drool* multitouch thingy. She's 17" and is a fatass beauty. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz - I dunno the codename. RAM: 2x1GB Video card: Nvidia GeForce 8600GT - 256MB Mac OS X 10.5.4 Currently I don't touch any desktop. Supporting external HDDs: [ I move my old stuffs to new HDD often - I think if I can stop buying HDD I might save more than enuf to build a good desktop ] Brand new stuffs - still almost empty. 500GB for Haruna's stuffs [mostly reserved for any drama that got a screen of her]. 500GB for AKB stuffs [ mostly picture and web archive, some more dorama ] 3x 500GB for anime & manga - not really 'almost empty' as said. Old ones: 3 x 160 GB of schools 2 x 160 GB of family homemade video And 160GB comes with the machine - doodle place.
geez you people are rich... ...i've been using my computer for almost 5 years now...hahaha...well i ain't got no money to buy the latest and the greatest...well it's a 15" powerbook g4 1.25ghz, 1gig of ram and 80gb (huhuhu) of hdd running on tiger os...
It all depends on what you plan to do with it. I have a Toshiba Satellite that works fine as my main computer, but all I really do is a small amount of graphics, surfing the internet and watching videos/listening to music. I can't handle higher def. videos, but I'm sure if you got a higher model of a Toshiba Satellite, it may work better.
All i do really is go on the internet, store loads of music and videos ( i heard they have good speakers) just things that a person would normally do on a computer. I do play a game or two but its nothing that needs high requirements. What modle do you have?
It's a uh...M105-S1021. I don't know what kind of Satellites they sell now, as I bought this one almost 3 years ago, but I'd go for one with higher ram and HDD if possible. And if you're going to be watching lots of videos, I'd look for one with a better video card. ATI is kinda...meh. As far as the speakers go...they kinda suck, but again, older model, so they could be better now for all I know. If you aren't using it as a main computer, it will do wonders. If you are, it will do just fine, as long as you take care of it. Like I said, mine is about 3 years old, and it's been my main computer for that entire time. It's held up fairly well and I've never really had any major problems with it.
that's good then I found one and it seems pretty good 250 gb 3bg ram, I don't think i'll get it now but maybe next year this laptop still works fine but ive been having a few problems.

I have a 1TB hard drive in an external caddy that I use purely for AKB48 and H!P stuff, and it's already ~700GB full. Dunno how people can live with 80GB etc!
^well i still have like 1.5GB of free space in my 80GB hdd...but whenever i feel like downloading something, i need to delete some stuff...i hate being poor...
Ohh I know! I donated a old HDD to a friend who only had a 40GB drive. I was shocked and I said 'omg, how do you manage to do anything with that much space!'. That's only enough room for like 5 games and a handful of video files.
meh: * Desktop PC: Custom built PC with budget in mynd. - AMD 64x2 something - 1 GBytes of some type of RAM - 12 GB HDD - 4 GB HDD (yeah, even my wife's PSP has more storage than this ) - 40 GB or is it 80 GB ?

But now I just don't have time for it. EDIT: I'm planning to get one of those Asus tiny laptops... my work notebook is sooooo heavy that I never take it anywhere.
- Intel P35 Motherboard - Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 - 8GB of DDR2 800 Kingston RAM - Liteon 20X DVD-RW - Seagate 160GB Sata II, and Seagate Enterprise 500GB Sata II - EVGA NVIDIA 9800GTX - CoolMax 700W Green Power Power Supply - Aspire X-Cruiser Case - Windows XP Pro SP3...I don't like Vista. Finally built and ready to hand over to my mom so she can learn to type. My room is so clean and clear now that all those dumb boxes are out of my room. Has anyone purchased any of those new ultra portable laptops yet? I'm curious about how good they are.
