I'm using an OOOLLLLLLD case for the current rig I have set up now. I bought a computer back in '99 and it ran for a couple of years. I have switched motherboards on that case twice. Now I run a 6.66 gigahertz Pentuim 4 with 1.256 gigs of DDR2 533 RAM. I just use the on-board video @ 64 megs of VRAM. I just don't have the money to upgrade to a good video card right now.

So far, it's the best/fastest system I have ever owned. And I put it together all by myself!

:D

Dell offers a student discount but it's pathetic and you have to jump through too many hoops to get it.

The mac was worth it. It's the fastest computer I've ever used.

Christ, I just realized that I don't even know all the specs on most of my systems. I have five, maybe six counting the one I'm putting together right now, but eh.... I don't even care any more, just build 'em, just some distro or XP for gaming, and forget about 'em until they break.

My computer is an emachines getting close to 3 years old, but I've been modifying it on it. I won't be using it as my main comp that much longer anyway because I'm working on putting a new one together. I hate dual-booting especially with both Linux and Win because grub takes over the whole system and pretty much deletes the win booter. I'm in the process of switching to Linux so I'll start by talking about the HDs.

200 GB 7200 RPM with openSUSE Linux
80 GB 7200 RPM with Windows XP MCE
3.2 GB unknown RPM that I use for beta versions of openSUSE to report bugs for

when I want to switch between OSes, I just gotta switch the master/slave pins for booting.
Now I'll talk about the rest of the comp:

2.4 GHz AMD Athlon 64
a gig a ram
an optical drive (cd writer/reader and dvd writer/reader)
a plain cd reader on top of that
7 USB ports
1 fire wire port
2 serial ports I installed
2 parallel ports, one that I installed
an external floppy drive
ATI Radeon X1300

not that much of a gaming PC, but then again, I'm not that much of a PC gamer. I'm one of those fans of dosgamesarchive.
