Here's my new machine I built... the whole front was custom fiberglassed (by myself) and the case was painted (again, by me) inside and out, custom fans, and I used a laptop \"skin\" sticker for the top graphics. It's running Ubuntu, and Descent3 for Linux.

I'd bore you with specs, but it's a very cheap, low-end system with a Gig of Ram, geforce 6200, blah blah blah.

Here's my current best computer in an old picture.

Specs are:

Pentium 4, 3.2GHz HT, 2 GB of 2-2-2-5 OCZ RAM
1 TB of total HD space (3 disks)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB
Monitor Samsung 213T
and some other state-of-the-art components :)

Image

I have since the above pic was taken upgraded keyboard and mouse for the MS Entertainment Wireless 7000 set (with the old mouse to the right), using a keyboard tray 3M AKT150LE with two mouse trays (left and right). Also, my monitor now has a stand that allows me to move it freely everywhere (the pic below doesn't show the keyboard tray with an identical second mouse tray to the right, since it was a recent addition):

Image


Here's the same computer in a more messy context (in an old pic as well):

Image


Here my very special sound card:

Image

Oops, sorry, wrong picture of my sound card... But it does make a lot of sound, hehehe.

:) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D
