i use a stock acer aspire5315 laptop.
1 gb ram
Intel celeron 560 CPU, a whole 2.13ghz
complete with built in Intel graphics card with 128 megabytes

Batty · 21-08-2009, 08:59 PM

upgrade done, from E6600 to Q9550, from 2Gb ddr2 800 to 4Gb, from el cheapo mouse to logitech MX400 laser, from MSI 965 neo 2 mobo to Gigabyte EP45-UD3L. from XP to win 7 64 ultimate.

Is nice

Batty · 25-08-2009, 06:25 AM

Ok so I lied, Upgrade wasn't finished, I found a few spare $$$ under my mattress and swapped the video card, now have a GTX 275 fitted.

someguyfish · 25-08-2009, 07:44 AM

I'm running a Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, with 4gb of DDr2 RAM with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS. only a 320gig hard drive but i bought all this including a 22" monitor for 2 grand well over a year ago.

yeah, it runs 'very high' level in Crysis now, but that is just too much going on so I wound it back to high.

Yeah, I built a PC for CAD work, and ended up selling it to someone who wanted to use it for CAD/BIM. Anyhow, turned out it was stellar for playing Crysis on very high too.

Currently got a Dell Optiplex GX280 small form factor PC with:
- P4 3.2GHz CPU
- 2x1GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
- Radeon X1300 Pro 128MB half-height GPU
- 160GB SATA + 500GB SATA external HDDs (nearly full

)
- slimline DVDRW+/-
- Benq E2200HD 22" widescreen 16x9 LCD

It's fine for what I do, playing Urban Terror (a free game based on the Quake3 engine), CAD/CAM and it still has serial and printer ports for programming microcontrollers.

My next box wishlist (from MSY):
- C2D E6300 CPU $99
- GB G41M-ES2L Motherboard $71
- 2x2GB GSkill-NT DDR2 800MHz RAM $73
- GB Radeon HD4670 512MB GPU $88
- Pioneer DVR-218 SATA DVDRW+/- $65
- WD SATA 808GB HDD $88
- CoolerMaster Elite RC330 Case w/PSU $75

Maybe I'll treat myself around chrissy.
