Who has the oldest daily computer?

Onkel Neal · 03-10-09, 12:37 AM

Ok, this only counts for desktops, it has to be the newest PC you own, the one you use to play games. How old is your newest computer?

Not counting my laptop, my gaming PC is (as mentioned in previous threads) a Gateway 500X, bought Sept. 10, 2002! It has the original P4 2.4Ghz CPU, upgraded to 1GB RAM, upgraded to a 500w PSU, Radeon X1650, and three additional hard drives--the original internal 75GB drive that I had to move to slave after a Windows corruption, the 120GB I made master to run the OS, and two external drives, 500GB and 1TB.

Yeah, top that! (By top that, you will be proving how desperately poor you are or how stingy you are with money. I'm both, ha!)

Now, don't bother bragging about the 486 you have on the side running a mail server, or something like that. Only your newest daily computer counts. Pictures for extra credit. Of course, by this time next week, I will no longer be running a 6 1/2 year old PC

and will be out of the running.

Eh? everyone out there is running new stuff?

Mine's only from 2005, but it still has its AGP graphics slot, which means I can't get a great new card to play SH4 on. I know they make new AGP cards, but I can't afford them, so there!

Mines still pretty new from late 07

How about considering a new mobo?

Considering a lot of things. No money to buy them with, though.

My Wife uses my old box as a secondary PC. P4 2.4 Ghz, 2GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (AGP), Soundlaster Live!.

Can't really remember when I bought this thing. But I think somewhere around 2002.

My old one is from 2005. AU31 AGP motherboard. My daughters use it now.
