  • My main computer. It's custom-built. It sucks but at least it's powerful enough for pretty much all tasks.

    8 GB DDR3-1600
    Intel Core i5-4460 3.2 GHz
    1 TB WD Blue, 256 GB Samsung SSD
    Windows 10 Pro
    Intel HD 4000 (normally, I have the Sapphire Radeon R7 260X with 2 GB of video RAM, but it is a serious pile of shit and it causes too much problems, even after getting it replaced. It's considerably more powerful than the HD Graphics, but it's unuseable and I don't know what to do since warranty is done for a while now)
    MSI H81M-P33 Logic Board
    CORSAIR CX600M (600W)
  • AMD FX-83050 4.2 GHz (CPU)
    16 gb HyperX Savage DDR3 1866 MHz (RAM)
    ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 (motherboard)
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 (GPU)
    WD Caviar Blue 1tb
    Seagate Desktop Internal 2tb
  • AMD Athlon XP Mobile 2.1GHZ
    1 GB RAM
    Abit KT7A
    Voodoo 5
    WD 500gb hard drive
    Windows 95
    Full tower, beige like a computer should be, and with no retarded blue LEDs.

    Deal with it.

    The only purpose blue LEDs have are to cool off your computer from the extra speed causing heat that red LEDs would provide :p.

    I have various computers and I don't feel like typing up all of the specs, but the 3 I use the most are my Thinkpad T530, Toughbook CF-31, and a Custom built. The Thinkpad and Toughbook have i5s (The Thinkpad has an nVidia card, Toughbook has integrated) and the Custom built has an i7 and a GTX 770.
  • Probably my Yoga 12:

    i5 5200U, 8GB DDR3, 250GB SSD, 1080p 12.5" touchscreen, Win10 Pro x64

    Not a huge fan of some stuff, I wouldn't consider it a "proper" ThinkPad - fucking huge bezels and the build quality definitely isn't x-series standard, but it's a nice little laptop and still at least has the trackpoint. Shame discord still doesn't listen to dpi scaling settings on Win10. Lenovo 3 year onsite warranty is awesome too, they replaced the keyboard because one key was slightly loose.

    Custom build is a close second, though it's a bit of a mess right now in regards to cable management and the LED strip is falling off:

    i5 6600k @ 4.6GHz, 16GB DDR4, 120GB SSD, dying 1TB HDD, MSI Z170XP-SLI, R9 280, NZXT S340, EVGA 600W, Ilyama 4K 28" + vertical Phillips 1080p IPS 23", Win10 Pro x64

    Generally great but the loud HDD worries me. Local store's ridiculously cheap price for the CPU meant that I could get it with a tight budget, up until recently I've been using an "old" 7850 which really can't handle 4K whatsoever. What's nice is the 4K display has picture-in-picture which is great for setting up old PCs, etc.

    After messing with various business-grade dual CPU monster servers with stupidly high powerful consumption, I realized it's overkill for a simple web and Minecraft server so I'm using a Zoostorm (UK prebuilt brand):

    Haswell-based Pentium CPU (need to check model), 4GB DDR3, WD Blue 500GB, some Asus mobo that seems to be able to OC somehow, Win10 Pro x64 (I know, I know, should be using Windows Server or Linux)

    Very dirty inside but it works fine.

    For "retro" stuff my Toshiba 110CT is ideal:

    Pentium II (???), around 16MB RAM, ~1GB HDD, 800x600 (???) ~12" display, Win95

    Battery still holds charge after all these years. Also has an inbuilt PSU which is extremely useful, takes a standard 2pin cable. Still has what seems to be the original install of Windows 95 and Office 97 (???), which seems completely clean. Need to get around to getting some kind of CD drive for it as floppies aren't fun, especially for OS installtion (dual boot with Windows 3.1 is something I'd love to get working), but otherwise it's fun to play with.

  • I have a few computers on my desk setup for easy use, I'll post specs for the 3 systems I use the most.

    Intel Core i5 Haswell @ 2.6 GHz
    8GB of Integrated DDR3 RAM
    Intel Iris Pro 5100

    AMD Radeon HD 6450
    750GB SATA HDD
    16x SATA DVD-RW Drive + 3.5" Floppy Drive
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    Dell Dimension 4300 (Used fairly often for basic word processing and retro gaming):

  • I can't believe there's only been a single post with specs close to the ones I use lol.. I guess I am just really patient when it comes to computing.

    99% of the time I use a Toshiba Libretto u100 with

    Pentium M 753 @ 1.20 GHz ; 400MHz bus
    An entire Giga-Byte of DDR SDRAM
    Intel Extreme Graphics 2 w/ 64MB shared max --[actually still streams 720p fluently through VLC in fullscreen]
    10GB Toshiba PATA HDD --ripped from an original iPod [the first one with the physical scroll wheel; it now has an SSD
    If not Windows 95, Debian.

    I use a titload of old, relatively irreplaceable equipment and Debian makes a surprisingly decent bridge for swapping files and media between ancient and slightly less ancient hardware / OSes, and I've just slowly started using it for everything else since it is just so nice to old hardware. That said, I still don't know shite about Linux overall, so don't hate me too much for mentioning it on here...
  • MacBook Pro (Mid-2012)
    Intel Core i5 Ivy Bridge @ 2.5 GHz
    16GB of DDR3 RAM
    Intel HD 4000
    500GB SATA HDD
    DVD+RW SATA
    macOS Sierra 10.12
    Two USB HDDs 1TB each: One for backup and the other for extra storage.
  • I use many computers, but my main desktop is probably what I use the most. Spec-wise it's getting a bit dated, but it doesn't feel overly slow or anything... the only time I'd see a limitation is with some newer games, but I've never been much of a gamer anyway. Although I did recently get the new Skullcanyon NUC and compared to that, my desktop is starting to seem just a tad sluggish... but I think the main issue is actually the OS. My desktop is still rocking the same Windows 7 install I installed when I built the machine in 2011 while the NUC is running Windows 10... 8.x and 10 are definitely faster than 7. I upgraded my work machine from 7 to 8.1 and it's definitely more responsive.

    Those are some godawful specs.

    A Celeron G1820 is not "lightning fast" by any means. It's a CPU for people on really tight budgets. It gets benchmarks equal/worse to 7 year old i5s.

    How is 8GB RAM being in one stick impressive? It's not uncommon.....at all.

    LC Power? I have never heard of that brand before. From what I see online LC-Power PSUs are for people who cheap out on PSUs and are not of good quality. Never EVER cheap out on your power supply.

    A GT 630 with 2gb VRAM? I don't think a GT630 could even handle a game that would require more than 1GB VRAM, so that's pointless.

    I have to disagree with you right there. A first-gen i5 will just slaughter any celeron, anytime and anyday. Plus, The i5 is a quadcore, whereas the Celeron is a dual-core. BTW, what sort of benchmarks have you been looking at?

    I haven't really looked at benchmarks of desktop i5s much, but I guess I shouldn't have assumed that the Celeron could be equal. I was more thinking of mobile i5s which are slightly below the performance of that Celeron. One thing I do know is that the 8(?) year old Q6700 Dell Precision I have as a backup machine is faster than that Celeron. Not by a lot, but still.

    Not all i5s have been quad core. Most are, but the i5-650 was notably dual core with hyperthreading. But, you have to agree with me on the power supply front. That power supply he has is a ticking time bomb.

    It's not that hard to reinstall Windows. Software issues don't mean that the machine itself "barely works"

    I can attest to this. Big Box 1.0 had a first-gen i5 and it wasn't even bad.

    Well...I guess then even the first gen i5s are much more powerful than that Celeron. But...that Celeron isn't the worst thing ever. It isn't a very good processor but it's also not bad if on an extreme budget. But, I'm betting that whoever built pcgeek's piece of shit (I think at one point he said a computer store built it) just put together an unbalanced build. Take out the GPU which I bet wasn't needed (I think that Celeron is a haswell chipset, and the haswell chipset has graphics almost as good as that 630) and upgrade to an i3, swap the power supply for an EVGA 500W that won't explode like that "LC Power" one probably will and he'd have a machine more powerful than the first gen i3s, at the same price point.

    The Celeron is more for people who really need a computer and really can't spend much. If you have more than $300 you should be able to get something quite a bit better than a Celeron or Atom that you'd get for that price, or hell even at that price it'd be better to buy used - my i5 thinkpad was $220 + $80 for the SSD and that beats out all of those cheapass budget machines.
