The old Accubyte hunk o' junk finally got retired after five plus years.
Old
p3 500
Accubyte motherboard from 1998
Gforce 4, 64 mb of ram
384 mb ram
20, 40, and a 200 gb hard drive
an old bad case
New
-Intel P4 2.8 proc
-some motherboard with on board 2, 4 and 6 channel sound card. On board nic card. 8x AGP and dual channel memory. The mb rox (I forget the brand, I'll let Gibbon fill you in on it.)
-1.024gb of memory (2 512's)
-Antec's Sonoma case (Thanks to JD and BRN for the recommendation. A great case.) It's the same size as my old one, but with twice the amount of shit you can put in there. I bought it at Fry's
-Radeon's 9600XT. I went a notch down from the top. I got this piece at Fry's so there was a retail ripoff. I wasn't in the mood to wait two to three more days.
-Another WD hard drive (120 gb) which also got retail at Fry's.
Total cost was $930. I don't think it was bad for paying retail rate on three of the pieces.
I retired the old 20 gb (noise), kept the 40 and 200. So why the 120? My old box is now a server. A 120 gb server.
I tested it on some HL mods tonight. After tweaking I got TFC up to 90 FPS no matter which map. I played DoD tonight. Yes, I played DoD tonight. Some people there probably thought it was an imitator but it was actually me. I was able to go a quick 5-5 with a cap. No one should've let me kill them. The performance was at about 60fps. I didn't tweak anything however in the config yet. I'm gonna check out NS again and look at TS. Hopefully I'll cya all there.

I am now officially the owner of the worst computer at the ville. Yay. 
JD's computer still hasn't arrived in the mail. He told me he sent it out a couple months ago, but I guess Canada Post lost it. Bastards.
Edit: wow 40 + 200 + 120 GB hard drives? Gaw, you must have tons of pr0n :p. |

If you think that his MP3 collection is impressive, you should see Jfet's even larger pr0n collection.

lol yup! up to 1.2 TB.
20 gb
230 gb
450 gb (raid 5)
233 gb external firewire
270 gb external firewire
those are all what windows reports (i.e a 250 drive becomes 230 and 500 becomes 450...due to manufacturers saying gb=1,000,000 bytes and windows doing it the right way with gb=1,048,576 bytes)
anyway. yeah. thats what i got. only have about 0.2 terabytes free. yes...ive actually managed to fill up a terabyte. |

Not even close Wiz, and I thought I would get a new system before Frag  but no. I refuse to post the specs due to the laughter and ridicule that would be directed towards me.  Well maybe not that, just to embarrassed.
