Survey, Who built your computer?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Master of Reality:
i started building my own machines when i was like 10.

My main computer i bought at some small computer shop and then switched around parts from my other computers in/out of it.

I built my other 2 computers completely from parts salvaged from dead computers and "donated" from companys.

preacher:
My computer started out as a 433mhz emachine. It ran Windows 98se, 32mb ram, 4.3 gb hard drive, integrated 4mb video card, and pci winmodem. Since I bought it I made a few changes.

Added: Mandrake Linux 9.0, hard drive controller card, 2-256mb sticks of ram, cd burner, 2-30 gig hard drives, geforce2 video card, and a nic.

I didnt quite build the whole machine, although I could easily do that.

Steve Fucking Jobs!

512MB RAM
20GB craptastic Maxtor 5400RPM drive

Jobs hasn't built a computer since 1976. Since then he could afford to have people do it for him.

DC:
I build my own computer (AMD 1.2 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, Linux) myself, with 80% of the parts coming from the same store and the rest being scrap from my old one (those parts have been replaced since, except the speakers).

My dad did the same thing (AMD 1.4 Ghz, 512MB RAM, WinXP/2000/98, slower than mine  ;)  ), my mother and sister's computer are mostly composed of leftovers from me and my dad (700-ish, 500-ish and 300 Mhz, 64-196MB Ram range, all Win98 and excruciatingly slow), except my oldest sister's which she got from her boss.

My secondary PC, a Pentium 166 running at 133 Mhz because the motherboard can't go faster, 48 MB and Linux is compared of the best of the scrap metal I could find on the attic, and is destined to become a router/firewall when we get broadband.
