Most Powerful PC You Own?

edited December 2014 in Hardware
Just ordered a new custom PC on-line and wanted to see if anybody here had one with comparable specs.

Specs:
    Ultra Rogue M925 Full Tower Gaming Case Sapphire Vapor-X R9 270X Radeon Graphic Accelerator 2GB Intel Core i7-4770K LGA1150 (GDDR5) Patriot Viper 16GB DDR3 RAM (1866 MHz) Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD WD Black 2TB 3.5" Hard Drive LG 14X SATA Blu-Ray Burner (3D Playback) ASUS ROG Maximus VI Motherboard 2800 MHz 8.1 Audio Intel Z87 Express OCZ MOD XStream Pro 700W Power Supply

I'm still waiting on the motherboard but once I have it put together I think this PC will serve me well.

  • My most powerful pc has these specs:

    -Some Unbranded black/grey ATX case
    -480W Logisys motherboard
    -Intel 945PSN ATX Motherboard
    -Intel "Prescott 2M" Pentium 4 640 3.2Ghz
    -2x1GB 533Mhz DDR2-SDRAM (Dual channel)
    -256MB Ati Radeon X800 series PCIe x16 graphics card
    -160GB WD Caviar blue IDE drive (connected to MB with bi directional IDE-SATA/SATA-IDE adapter)
    -ASUS CD-RW IDE Drive (this is beige, which doesn't match the case at all, but I don't really care)
    -internel 3.5" Multi Card reader
    -Onboard Audio
    -Onboard Lan
    -54Mhz USB Wifi card (Ralink 2870 based)

    Windows 7 runs pretty damn well on this rig. I am able to play all of my Steam and non-Steam games without any problems.

    I couldn't remember half that, so I copy and pasted from my purchase history in Newegg / Amazon. Main build was around 2011, I've upgraded bits and pieces over the years. Pretty happy with it.
  • Is it sad that the last PC I actually put together was a K6?

    Praying that Haswell-E yields a viable replacement for my 1366 system, or Broadwell 115x.
  • That I own personally? Oof, which is technically more powerful:
    1.6 ghz Intel Atom Z520
    1 GB DDR of some speed
    Intel GMA 500
    150 GB flash storage of some type
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    or

    2.2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 Mobile
    512 MB DDR SDRAM
    ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 - 32.0 MB
    40 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi Travelstar
    Windows 7 Ultimate

    The Evo's dead, but can be repaired so easily it doesn't matter.
  • Win7 runs on 512MB RAM without being completely unusable?
  • Yes, actually. I was surprised too.
    Edit: It wasn't perfect, admittedly, but it did pretty well. Even played a DVD for me no fuss.
  • The most powerful computer I have in possesion now is my laptop from 2006/7.
    HP Pavilion dv5023ea
    ATI Radeon 200M 256mb mem
    AMD Turion 64 1.8GHz 2gb mem ram
    Windows 7 Ultimate / Fedora 20 dual
    It has a wifi card, DVD burner, expansion port, USB 2.0, ethernet, phone jack modem, VGA, S-Video, and a half-broke screen (thank god none of the pixels are broke).

    .... yeah, mine sucks.
    edit: The HDD is 75gb. Now it really sucks.
  • .... yeah, mine sucks. edit: The HDD is 75gb. Now it really sucks.
    I think I still win on that front. I'd enjoy having your computer, so long as it had a good keyboard and good build quality.
  • Actually I got an upgrade couple weeks ago.
    Dell Precision T1500
    Intel Core i5 2.9 GHz x4 2048mb RAM
    nVidia Quadro NVS 295. Dunno how much video mem, but it's more than the laptop.
    Windows 7 Professional / Kubuntu 12.04 dual
    212gb HDD. USB 3.0 x4. DVD+-RW burner. SD[HC] card reader. DVI output 1280x1024.

    ...... still pretty bad, but a beast to my standards. I can emulate Wii games at 60 fps.

    I love the CPU, unlike it's predecessor Phenom II 955. I run it at 4.2 (stock is 3.5) because that's how far it goes with stock voltages. I have pushed it up to 4.7 but I can't find any reasoning to keep it that high. Within the volts I was comfortable giving it, it manages even full 5GHz, however it's no longer stable then of course. I really appreciate the fact that the FX-8350, even at 5GHz, hangs in there. The machine is usable, but cores keep crashing if put under significant load. I didn't get more than 4.125 out of the 955, which really disappointed me because of stock clock of 955 is 3.2 - so it didn't manage even a full GHz raise.

    Overclocking the GPU's is more difficult, but they manage slight rises too. I'd probably be better off with a single card, but I'm just not that interested in having the absolute best graphics.

    It currently has an odd setup of 4+4+2+2 sticks of RAM. It used to have 2+2+2+2 but I needed some ram to keep the old CPU and motherboard in use, and due to a situation that'd constitute a long story I had to divide the existing ram before buying more. They'll both eventually have 8Gb.
  • Intel Desktop board 945PSN
    LGA775 Intel Pentium IV (Prescott 2M) @ 3.2Ghz
    2GB DDR2-SDRAM
    Ati Radeon X800 GTO PCIe
    No CD, DVD, or Bluray drives
    500GB WD Caviar Green (I might have to learn not to get a Green the hard way.)
    some generic ATX case
  • My daily driver of a PC is a Gateway DX4200-09 Added a 120GB hard drive and a Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS.

    When the kids are hogging the PC I use my MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2009 5,5. Has 8GB of RAM and 2.53GHz CoreDuo.

    Last system I built got stolen.
    Mobo: Asus M4N68T-M
    CPU: AMD Phenom IIX6 1100T
    Mem: Corsair CM3X2G1800C8D 2GB with a total of four sticks giving my 8GB.
    Video: EVGA nVidia GeForce GT 730 1GB
    Storage: Two WD 500GB SATA scorpio blue hard disk drives.
  • Mines would be my HP Pavilion p6-2370ea.

    Intel i3 2130 Dual Core - 3.4 GHz
    8GB DDR3 RAM
    1TB SATA HDD 7200 RPM
    Intel H61 Chipset
    Intel HD Graphics 2000 32MB dedicated RAM :(
    Some HP keyboard

  • Is it sad that this is the system I call my "gaming PC"?

    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ @ 3.1GHz
    RAM: 4GB DDR2 533MHz
    Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 3650 with 512MB VRAM
    Motherboard: ASUS M2N-E SLI
    Storage: 80GB Seagate ATA HDD << Was actually never opened before I got it
    Case: Some generic white ATX case I picked up for $15 with an IE logo on the side
    Extras:
    1.44MB diskette drive
    52x speed LG CD-ROM burner
    NEC DVD rewritable
    Removable ATA HDD bay
    Front and back USB 2.0
    Front headphone and mic ports
  • Kind of sad, certainly time for an upgrade. A radeon HD 3650 is not capable of much these days.
  • Mine is some prebuilt Medion thingy:

    It has:
    Intel Core i5-3350P 3,1 GHz
    4GB RAM, DDR3-1600, CL11, dual-channel (I plan on upgrading to 8GB)
    MEDION MS-7797 motherboard
    1GB GeForce GTX 650 (I plan on buying a Radeon R9 270 for it as an upgrade)
    1TB Seagate ST1000DM003
    Some DVD writer with 'Samsung' on the front
    Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell

    I'm also busy assembling a retro system with Windows 98 SE:

    AMD Sempron 3100+ 1,8 GHz
    MSI K8T Neo-V motherboard
    512MB RAM (I've also got a 1GB stick, but, Windows 98 doesn't handle more than 512MB well)
    Some Gigabyte case
    A Samsung DVD writer
    A 60GB Samsung HDD (IDE of course)
    A card reader
    A 3.5" floppy drive

    Better than my current gaming pc.

    Neither is Intel HD 2000. VMWare VMs give more video RAM than my Intel HD 2000.

    Funny thing is that that is my upgrade! I just finished building it last week.
