The Computer Thread.
 

Just curious what everyone has and what they use it for. I know we got at least a couple gamers and a bunch of people who do stuff in Ps.

I'll start:P

Desktop~

OS: Win 7
Motherboard: msi 770-C45

GPU: ATI 5750 oc'd to 800 core / 1300 mem
Memory: 8gb ddr3 1333
Hard disk: WD 1x 320gb / 1x 1tb
Optical drive: Blue ray/DVD-rw/CD-rw combo drive
PSU: 550 watt BFG modular
Case: Antec 300
Display: 23" Acer 1080p

Primarily used for Autocad, Revit, and a little 3ds Max. Also used for internetz, ToS, movie watching, and gaming :P

Edit: forgot laptop~

Toshiba

Well I have a laptop and two desktops so it's going to be a while getting all those specs. :P

Ooh.

Hmm.

OS: Windows 7 (W7 buddies, high four!)
Motherboard: Gigbyte GA-790FXTA-UD5
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965

Wouldn't say I use primarily for gaming, even though that's what I've been doing a lot lately. Lots of Photoshop, lots of 3D, some (well, used to do quite a bit of) video editing, video watching, etc

-- lol that reminds me, I have a laptop somewhere. It's one of last year's (or the year before, or something) Dell Inspiron's.

I play games, mostly older ones, and fool around with GIMP when I feel like it, nothing productive though. Otherwise the usual use of the internet, movies, music and all that jazz, pretty much everything that goes without saying anyhow.

This is a brand new computer for me, haven't figured out everything yet. I've been a Mac user since 1984 and damn proud of it!

Woo! Another Mac user! :D

Mine:

- Apple iMac 20" (Aluminum model)
- Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
- CPU: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- RAM: 4GB 667MHz DDR2
- GPU: ATI Radeon HD2600
- 320GB Harddrive

Almost 2.5 years old this baby is. But it's been one amazing computer. I'm running out of HDD space as time goes on, I figured 320GB was loads when I got it, not so much anymore. I will need to buy a new iMac next year at the latest. I just want an all around new machine.

Apple FTW!

Intel Pentium 66 MHz
12 MB ram
MS-DOS 5.0

...............

I bet Photoshop runs awesomely on that.

Oh actually, that's the ToS server.

Impressive.

I wonder if I could do better than that if I only knew where our old computers are stored, but I reckon we don't have them around anymore. If I remember correctly, our very first computers was the good old 486.

Some oldies now :). I had to look under my bed to find those masterpieces :D. After some dust cleaning here they are. Those were my first PCs back in 1995 (but they were old even in those days), my granfather got them for free, they served as terminals for IBM mainframe computer.

IBM Personal System 2 (guess after what is PS/2 connetor called :D )
OS: IBM MS-DOS 3.30
Intel 8086@8MHz
640kB RAM
VGA 16 colors(AST VGA plus)
HDD: 20MB IBM
FDD: 720kB DS,DD
ADD-ON cards: Magnetooptical disk conroller :D
