What PC's did you own through the years?
What were their network names? 1994: 486SX 25 MHz, later 486DX2 66 MHz (BELLETJE, a lame Dutch pun on the Packard Bell brand) 1999: Celeron 400 Mhz (SNELLERON, another lame Dutch pun, later PATRICIA, the name of a girl I had a crush on) 2001: Celeron 700 MHz (MASTER-COMPUTER, after a Dexter's Laboratory episode) 2002: Pentium 3 450 MHz (CINDY, another girl I had a crush on. This computer was very experimental with lots of second-hand hardware, but really, I never had such a high frame rate on DOS games XD) 2003: Athlon XP 2500+ 1833 MHz (ATHLONNETJE, oh no more lame puns) 2005: Athlon 64 3200+ 2000 MHz (SLIMESMILE-XP, using my nickname by that time, later when  Kawa sucked me into Japanese fandom MAHOUNEKO)
2008: Core 2 Duo E6750 2666x2 MHz (HATSUDENSHO, now SHIREN as my secondary computer) 2009: Atom 1666 MHz (CHIBI, my netbook) 2011: Core i7 870 2933x4 MHz (SHINKANSEN) ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

~1997: using old Mac computers to play little games like Blobbo Lite. What was funny was that, since I couldn't read yet, I was remembering actions based on their positions in menus or filelists  Reminds me of those menus that don't stay open unless you hold the mouse button. Good times, good times...
~2000: family-shared computer in the living room. My sister and I spent many times playing Rayman videogames on it. And it sucked when parents wanted us to turn sound/computer off just because they wanted to listen to their dramatic news (kids think that the only good TV channel is Cartoon Network). ~2005: the first computer that was to be mine and only mine. Old salvaged laptop, ridiculous CPU, 2D-only video card, 6GB HDD, its power was laughable compared to the living room computer. But I was happy. No more parents telling me to turn it off because they wanna watch TV. And I could enjoy the power of an Administrator account. Eventually mom was able to salvage some more powerful laptops, so that I could play some 3D games like Rayman 2. 2006: getting my first desktop computer as a Christmas present. Core2Duo E6300, 160GB HDD, man it was a beast compared to those laptops (and even to the living-room computer, which was getting old). Since then I kept upgrading that computer with components I'd either buy or get as Christmas/birthday presents. The first upgrade was to replace the provided video card (GeForce 7300LE-- sucked balls) by something more powerful. I chose a Radeon X1950Pro mostly because it was one of the rare powerful video cards that fit in one slot-- Dell's microBTX case would prevent double-slot video cards from fitting in. The Radeon X1950Pro was noisy. But I never bothered to get a silent heatsink for it. Mainly because I don't care that much about computer noise. If it really gets to be a problem, I can always raise the volume. Also, homemade attempts at reducing a computer's noise generally don't work that well. I remember dad trying to insulate the living room computer's case with cardboard, and well, it didn't work that well. Eventually, after several upgrades, I could rebuild the original computer (with the Radeon X1950Pro of course) to give it to my sister, who was using an upgraded version of the old living-room computer at that point. That computer couldn't be upgraded anymore, mostly because AGP was dying. And there we are, in 2012. I'm not a full geek so I'm not upgrading my computer a lot, only upgrades occur when I get new components as presents or when I need to play some video game my computer can't handle. ____________________ Kuribo64 - melonDS want some revolution in your coffee? |

Oh this is easy. I'm going to only count my own personal ones, as the earlier ones are unknown to me.
2004-2008 Pentium 4 2.66Ghz - WinXP 2008-2011 AMD64 x2 2.4Ghz - WinXP /Win7 2011-Now AMD Phenom II x4 3.2Ghz - Win7 All three are called 'SEKRETNUKER' on the network.. All three are custom builds. The first one comes from a small IT firm that specialises in custom builds. 
Then there's a cheap laptop I got for college work (and games during free blocks) which was horrible. It melted its own motherboard. The world could always use more heroes! |
