What's Your PC?

Whatever Micro Center's house brand PC is... (edit: PowerSpec)

Actually, pretty good bang for the buck. I think I spent ~$600 and that got me some quad-core chip, 4GB RAM and 2 400GB disks in RAID 1 configuration in a reasonable case and reasonable power supply.

I had to take out the video card and replace it with something with more oomph but that's been about it.

One of the nice things about Micro Center is that the PCs come with no adware, crapware or bloatware installed - just Windows and that's it, which to me is perfect.

Of course, it's huge, loud and intrusive - a Mac it's not in any way.

I had a home built core i7 beast that I loved. It was a great desktop, ran both win7 and OSX extremely well.

I'm using past tense because my wife took the computer over, as she wanted something a bit faster and more resources

A Unibody 2008 MacBook with Windows 7 Ultimate in bootcamp. Don't worry though, i didn't pay for it.

Got Windows 7 Professional on a discount, it was almost nothing so I just bought it. Also got into DreamSpark and MSDN.

Anyways, I'm using my Top of the line 2011 15" Macbook Pro.

Some home brew quad core 2.9 with 16GB and lots of disk; SSD to boot Ubuntu from but actually not often used these days anymore. File server moved over to a NAS; GUI on Mac.

A sweet ass home made computer with an E6700 (2.66 Dual Core) 4GB of RAM and a 7600GT. I used to play so much BF2 when I was a kid. This little bugger is responsible for all my interest in computing. I love it!
