I bought a 1 GIG HD when they first came out in 1993 or so - $400. My Sony Vaio someone at work GAVE me - they told me it was broken, junk, they were going to toss it out, I said 'toss it my way'. I put in a brand-new battery, spent 3 nights uninstalling all the porno and gambling 'free' software her BF loaded, and it works flawlessly.
Maybe not a browser, but back in those days it was a DOS Shell we used to get into pure bulletin board sites. I remember when I upgraded my modem from a 300 baud to 1200 baud - I was a KING to my friends !
As for my system that's been Frankensteined so many times over the years but for now this is what I have: 450 watt power supply AMD Athlon 2.2 GHz (I need an upgrade) MSI main board SIS 745 Ultra GeForce FX 5200 256mb (I need an upgrade) 120 Gb HD (I need an upgrade) 7Gb HD back up 1.12 GB 2700 of DDR RAM DVD/CDRW 52x32x 4 x 80mm LED case fans with varible fan speed control.

I have two dell laptops both about 4-5 years old. For the time they were top of the line. 40gig 5400RPM hard drives, 64mb graphics, 15inch wuxga monitors, 1.6 and 2.2ghz Pentium 4 processors and 1gig of ram each (266mhz) Now they're just old and slow. But I must say they've done well by me and are still running well for what they are. Looking to buy a new machine soon for school (college) either a new dell, alienware, or an acer ferrari. I actually build/upgrade and service machines (bestbuy) and am A+ certified but still no new machine. Nice one by the way bennet (seen it before-good to see again)
I do. Why? It's a Mac No but really.. I have one desktop dual AMD Athlon XP's @ 1.53ghz, 1gb ram, blah blah. I don't use it anymore except to try linux on it. I have a Macbook Pro totally loaded up with only 2gb ram and a 100gb hdd which I've filled up already. Now a question, does anyone know of a good portable hdd? Meaning around 200gb or more and doesn't need a power adapter? Takes power from usb or firewire?
