800MHz 12" ibook w/ 364MB RAM
Dual 1Ghz MDD Powermac w/ 768MB RAM with 17" Studio Display
Dismantled 800MHz Via C3 EPIA which I haven't got round to putting back together for my mother to have.

Work:
Cheap, Horrible 1Ghz Celeron Beige thing with a 17" Dell CRT running W2K

[Gidman]

I have a PB 110 that gathers dust, but works.

A PIII POS that was pieced togehter from spare parts around the office, I thin and is virus ridden.

And my new hotness the 12" PB with 60 GB hard drive and 540 Megs of Ram.

Gid

[icetraxxg5]

iBook 500mhz DVD with 384megs of ram (selling it)

and a Compaq Evo PIII at school/work.

[Foxer]

PB 12 inch

PM 1.42 with 23-inch CinDisp

Crap Dell 333 mhz PentIII that I can't get to recognize it's cd-rom, so I can't get it to run and of the software I have. Windows...

MacClassic - Need some System 7 discs to wipe the HD.

Apple //c which I use to mess with all my old Jr. High stuff.

Apple IIe I just picked up last week. Don't know what I'll do with it.

Work - IBM ThinkPad, abuot as good as a PC notebook can get.

[lmalave]

At home:

iBook 12" 800MHz, Combo Drive, 30GB HD, 384MB RAM, use it 95% of the time.
Home-built AMD Athlon 1700+ computer, 80GB HD, 256MB RAM, only use it if I want to use Morpheus or something

At work:

Compaq desktop, not sure what model. 15" LCD monitor. It's not bad. The best thing about it is it runs Remote Desktop, so I can work from home using the Remote Desktop Client from my trusty iBook :)

At school:

All the computer labs have Dells, not sure what model. Also 15" screens. But whenever I can I bring my iBook to use on their Wi-Fi network. I noticed the library has 15" FP iMacs, though - they look pretty cool all in a row like that :)

(BTW my school is New York University, not a high school. That would be a rich high school :eek: )

All of them work except for the Quadra 610. The SCSI bus is broken, so it won't boot off the hard drive.

Also, the Quadra 650 has a Caddy CD-ROM drive. I have the caddy too. It's a very cool, yet inconvenient, design.

[mgargan1]

wow, i see a lot of people actually have intel processors. So i guess that most people either have to use them at work, or school, or just don't care about buying an intel processor. I mean, in my lifetime, i've had 1 386, 1 486, 1 pentium, 1 pentium 3, and 5 pentium 4's (1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.9, 2.2 Ghz), and they were all fine machines... i still use the 1.9 dell, and 500Mhz P3.

Got an old 8 MB Colour Classic out in the garage with 7.5.5, and about 2 megs of HD space free! It's actually my brother's but he'd rather use his Dell. It's sitting on the shelf gathering dust at the moment, but I remember the "fun" of installing 7.5.5 off floppies, there's like 25 of them to go through, and it takes AGES on an old 030.....

Sweet box, man. What do you think of the Shuttle cases? Are they featured enough that you'd recommend one for use as a headless file server? BTW, that thing must absolutely SCREAM!

I love my ShuttleX. I don't know what features you need for a headless file server.

I don't know if it screams, but it's definitely faster than my iBook. It's the fastest computer I've ever used, but I haven't used that many high end machines. The processor has a 400 Mhz bus so I imagine the 533's are faster.

And just between you and me, it's overclocked to 2.1 Ghz. With standard cooling. Running at 44 degrees C.

Wow. I'm sure it's fast, as my P4 1.8 running Red Hat 9.1 is a monster. That's a nice temperature to be sitting at with an OC that high and that tiny case, too. Super cool project, man. Do you have any pictures of the project that you could post?

[pilotgi]

Stand by.

[pilotgi]

Well, I would post some pics but I can't figure out how to upload them.

Tips anyone?

[vniow]

Click on the 'browse' button at the bottom of the post when you reply, you should get a little window that pops up to where you can search for the file you want to upload, just as long as it's one of the specified extentions and under 100k.

At work: 800Mhz G3 iMac (Snow), and one of each other latest-model Apple, becuase I work at a local reseller.

At home:
1) 12" PowerBook G4, combo drive, 256 RAM, AirPort Extreme card, etc. (Would like to max out the RAM - this is my personal computer.)

2) Dell Dimension 4550, P4 2.0GHz, 256MB DDR SDRAM @266, 64MB GF4MX, 80GB HD, 40/10/40 CDRW, 17" CRT monitor, running XP Home (Want to set this up to 512 and stick a ATI card in it to handle my games better.. since that is it's main use for me, secondary being mp3/picture/mpg storage... it's primarily an entertainment machine.)

3) Motorola.. don't remember the full stats on this, its an old Mac clone. About 6 years old. Have a processor upgrade card to mimic a 333MHz G3. It has 2GB HD, about 96MB RAM with a 800MB external drive attached and a 15" CRT monitor.

Edit: Obviously the picture is not attached. So, after I use browse to select my picture, how do I attach it?

My list would be something like this (in order of use ;-):

- Powermac dual 800Mhz quicksilver

- 500Mhz pentium 3 as a Novell server (scrapped together from free parts)
- 133Mhz pentium 1 as a DSL router (scrapped together from free parts)
- iMac 400Mhz
- Atari Portfolio
- Amiga 600
- 2x Macintosh SE
- Powermac 7500 100Mhz
- Macintosh Powerbook 230
- Macintosh 512
- Sinclair ZX Spectrum

And do game consoles count as computers? If they do:

- Sony Playstation
- Super Nintendo
- Atari Lynx
- NES

Does anyone own an Alienware machine? One of their more high-end ones? If so, how do you critique it?

Compaq Presario 5070, 192MB ram, 20GB HD

[robbieduncan]

At Home:

Apple iBook 800 with 640Mb RAM and Airport

Home Built PC (Lian-Li PC 60 Alu Tower, MSI KT4 Ultra MB, AMD Athlon 2400+ CPU, 512Mb RAM, Radeon 9700 Pro, Win 2k/SUSE Linux)

Router PC (Rack mount, AMD K6 500, 128Mb RAM, Win 2k)

File Server PC (left over bits from upgrade, not currently built: Rack mount, AMD Athlon 750, 256Mb RAM, will have approx 160-200 Gb of disk)

Old Laptop: Clamshell iBook 466 Special Edition with 320Mb RAM (soon for sale).

At Work:

iPod, 10 GB

Dell Lattitude laptop (Work supplied)
1.2 GHz, 40 GB HDD, 522 GB RAM, Combo drive

The newer Dell has the specs, but it cannot compete with the beauty and robust quality finish of the iBook. I can't even begin to describe how rough, cheap and nasty the Dell thing is. And the OS stinks.

[RBMaraman]

My Personal Computer:
12" iBook 500mhz

Family Computer:
17" iMac 800mhz

Work:

Dell - 800MHz P3 desktop
Sony - ??MHz VAIO Laptop (slow)

Home:

Mac 8500/400MHz G4

I also have a Mac PCI 100MHz Pentium card ... collecting dust.


Being planned, probably within the next month or two:


Work:

"Centrino" based Windows PC laptop


Home:

A newer Mac, probably before Christmas. I'd like the next-gen 15" Powerbook w/Airport, but the wife doesn't know why we should get a laptop, so she's learning towards a 17" iMac or a PowerMac tower. Knowning what Apple's 970 plans are would make a difference in the buy-now-or-later process.

Well for this machine at least because Home only supports 1 processor!
