I've been looking at some of your computer specs above your posts and boy do I feel bad for some of you. I think I'm going to give away a PC to whomever I think is the neediest of something new
Maybe two

I win!
Naw, let's have this be fair.
(Seriously, though, TGS, if I do win, just send me a mobo, procy, and ram [maybe a graphics card too....])
HAHA!
This would be wicked sweet but I'm no where near as needy as others. Good luck though.
Well, I updated my specs because the Acer board was shot, and a pin was broken off of the procy.
hail Satan.
good luck to those in need.
I'm thinking dual core AMD's at least, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive. I'm not sure if I'll provide the video card.
You rock Ken. Good luck everyone!
Well, I've got a Radeon x300 (I THINK....). Not the best x16 card in the world, but sure kicks butt against onboard graphics!
PS Farlo: I think you, ironically, have had the longest sig out of all of us.
All I have now is a generic pen 4 processor box gateway, may be half a gig of ram and a on board graphics card..
Uhm........
Are we going for oldest hardware?
Let's do this.
Socket 1 33MHz 486DX MoBo with 8MB RAM, Win3.1, ~200MB HDD.
haha, no I didnt think oldest hardware just the one I use now. =/ laptops charger is broken.
If it's in warranty?
Send it in.
Out of warranty?
Amazon.
Yea, not charger. Port, but yes I'm saving up for a new computer, hence the new second job. Its one of the few things I'm getting the money for. Computer is not in warranty..
eBay.
If you got the soldering skills......
Or, if you're lucky, some laptops come with either extension cards or cords.
Extension cards if they use the same MoBo for multiple model lappys.
Extension cord if they were smart enough to do it (like with my Toshiba)
Everyone needs for their "My System" specs to be updated to qualify. I may or may not have an actual contest thread. You might just be the lucky guy who gets a PM from me.
Kinda sad.
My laptop is five years old, and is faster than my desktop.
So, do you want our fastest machine specs? Or just our fastest desktop specs?
I'm sticking with desktop for now. It's what it was designed for.
Your primary machine. I have 6 computers, but only 1 is my primary
damn, i knew i shouldn't have upgraded top a quad core phenom 2 just yet.
Well, I have my laptop as my "primary"....
Although, it's not much faster than my deskop, other than 2GB DDRII....
Fixed it though.
Ken's the nicest Satan I know. :P
I'm happy as s@#t with my computer.
lol was getting 187FPS on the dead island cut scenes, 87~100 in the game with all the settings at absolute maximum.
alice:madness returns runs like a demon on this system.
My computer really started to pump out the frames when i overclocked the H/T bus... Think i'm at 5900 MT/s from the stock 5200.. plus the processors at 3.7Ghz now and i managed to trim the latency down by 1 and still maintain stability.
think this is one of my first computers where everything possible has been overclocked.
~2FPS Minecraft, max settings.
yeah, i think im good, im running close to the best if not the best on the website. :D good luck to everyone! :banana: may the worst rig win! :facepalm:
Watch this:
I'm gonna lose completely based on RAM.
Now, where's my spare .5GB stick.......
This is very nice of you guys. Very cool thread.
Great idea! It's really nice to see someone give back and ask nothing in return. Hopefully this starts a trend...(goes off to see what's not in use...)
Agreed, very selfless and kind. That is awesome. People like that contribute to a great community, always breeds positive behavior.
Having been on the recieving end of TGS's generousity in the past I can say enjoy what comes your way and I wish I were in a position to contribute something back to the community other than encouragement, compliments, and occasional advice. Hopefully that will change in the not so distant future, looking into a career change that will bring in a little more $$. I'd be home a little less but the trade off will be worth it.
But I am with them.
As nice as it is to get nice them, it is really nice to be able to send.
Congratulations to whomever gets the toys.
updated my system specs. i'm sure i'm out of the running for needing new stuffs. good luck to whoever gets this.
Ken...
Aw great. Now I can't help but think about...
Uhg! AmEv, Get that image out of your mind!
Lol... don't say that to darth bevis... but yeah, you're in the top 30 % i'd say for sure... On another note, wanna race?Quote:

i used to watercool, gave my lil bro it.... it wasn't portable enough for my liking, with how i drive and whatnot. haha
edit2: okay, ill tell you. my backup just needs the 960 i gotta go get, hopefully the next week or two. 6gb memory, 2tb hdd dual gigabit lan board, and two 5870's. there, i said it. my HTPC is a core i3, the 2.93 ghz model, i just need to find a video card, as i removed my second 5870 for my backup rig. the i3 has 8gb mem, and bd rom
I think mine is a tad better:whistler:Quote:

Mine's lived the longest :whistler:
Therefore, it has durability! :D
I never understood why people waste money on sound cards. It never sounds any better than onboard
The only soundcard I would get (that wasn't onboard) is the SBLive.
And only because of the emu10k processor.
On an unrelated note, Trace Hagan and Cale Hagan are brothers, right?
well, you obviously don't have good headphones, then. i rarely use my z-4's, trust me, asus zonar vs onboard, if you have good headphones, any average joe can hear the difference. never buy creative, in that case, i would prefer onboard. creative is crud.
