My main desktop is nothing special, but I am proud of my main laptop:

Acer Extensa 367D
200MHz Intel Pentium w/MMX
32MB RAM
2MB VRAM
2.1GB enhanced IDE hard drive
Cardboard Screen Visor (with Velcro!)
CD ROM Drive
External Floppy Drive
56K Modem

It got me through senior year of high school, 4 years of college, a year of service to inner city schools, all the while being lugged in crappy backpacks or, even worse, shuffling around loose in rolling bags.

It's a beast.

Like Ripster, this is familiar. But I'll give it some attention this time round.

If I exclude the server (Which, although is the "big rig", is rarely sat in front of, but it's a Wang 724 attached), then it's an IBM M13 connected to:-

  • AMD 6400 X2 BE (Overclocked)
  • Gigabyte M57-SLI-S4
  • 6GB (2x2GB 2x1GB) DDR1066
  • 512MB HD3870 GDDR4 (Overclocked)
  • 1x250GB Samsung, 1x320GB Samsung, 3x1TB Samsung F1
  • Liquid Cooling (XSPC 360, Eheim 1250, XSPC  Delta V2, MC Micro, 1/2" tubing)
  • 6x Delta GFB series 120x76mm (220CFM) on 2x Sunbeam Rheobus
  • FSP BlueStorm 500W PSU
  • Pioneer DVR109+DVR111

All housed in a Coolermaster Stacker.

I've got the following:
  • Dual Xeon Gallatin 3.06GHz (soon to be 3.2GHz when I get to the BIOS update)
  • Asus PC-DL Deluxe
  • 4GB Memory (about 3.6GB addressable)
  • 80GB Seagate hard disk drive (sadly way too small)
  • ATI Radeon HD 3850
  • Lightscribe DVD burner
  • Black 3U rackmount case
  • 460W power supply
  • GW2K/Maxiswitch Anykey PS/2 keyboard
  • Kensington Expert Mouse Pro USB
  • Samsung SyncMaster 204B 20.1" LCD and Sharp 17" LCD turned 90°
It dual boots Debian Linux and Windows XP Pro.

Almost all of my equipment is racked, with the exception of my wife's PC, which is sitting between the posts at the bottom of the rack.  She's still attached to her Antec case.

Last Jan/Feb I put this together to replace my aging Dell. I am so glad to be all standard now, but the Dell did fairly well.

Q9550 2.83 @3.8 stable
Gigabyte EP45-UDP3 m/b
G.SKILL 4GB  DDR2  1066
(2) W.D. Caviar Black 640 GB in Raid 0
(1) Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB
PC Power & Cooling 610W Continuous Power Supply
OCZ Vendetta 2 CPU Cooler with AeroCool XtremeTurbine-Blue Fan
MSI R4830 (OC'd Radeon HD 4830) Video Card (I am not a gamer)
  -all wrapped up in a Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Case and currently sporting a $3 Model F.
 It was a lot of fun to build but I stretched it out over a couple months as I had the Dell to use.

After reading all the specs on this forum, it makes my rig sound so old dated...
  • Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz (Q6600)
  • 4GB of really mediocre DDR2 667MHz RAM
  • Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS (the old 640MB version)
  • Nvidia nForce 650i chipset
  • 700W power supply
  • 500GB Seagate drive for the OS, 640GB Hitachi drive for random crap
  • 24" Dell monitor @ 1920×1080
  • Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (the final build)
  • Unicomp Customizer 104
  • Logitech G5 mouse (well worth the money!)


Everything's running at stock speeds, but it still performs well these days. The RAM could be better, but i doubt I'd see any performance boost if I upgraded it, so I've never bothered.

I suspect a few do. I'm fairly sure I have seen you on XS. Mine isn't OC'd at the moment, (Fear of the PSU taking yet another setup out...) but after the next round of upgrades (Probably using an 1156 setup).

stripped down, no more hard drive cage, some wire management work, triple radiator mount/holes in the top with built in shroud
didnt mean "a bit" as in "a lot, but i am awesome" but really just "a bit"

next will be grommeted holes for wires behind the board and a cpu backplate access
and moving the hard drive into the 5.25 bay so i can remove ALL the 3.5 bays

wish i hadnt shipped mine off already.  every 6key combination i tried worked, but i assumed modifiers were not included.  youre saying that it can pass qzwarx but fail

...

is this a joke?
CTRL+W closes window

...

ok, not in the test, if you start by holding the letters first.
i can get 9 keys using that, 6 letters + CTRL + ALT + SHIFT

I tried it, and it did register all six keys. Any extra key doesn't register, except for modifiers such as the right hand ALT, Enter or Shift keys. It is limited however at 8 keys.

But that is the standard limit of the usb interface isn't it?

For all intents and purposes it is, but it's really the standard HID driver that is the limiting agent.  The USB protocol can certainly handle more than 6 keystrokes of data, and if a manufacturer spent the time to write a custom driver, you could easily have full NKRO via USB.  It's just easier and cheaper to use the standard HID driver.  Member bhtooefr explains it much better and in more detail than I do, but that's the jist of it.

i keep hearing that, but feel like it is odd that logitech will write all this stupid software to change DPI and use a screen and macro keys but NOT a new driver to have the only USB keyboard with full NKRO.

note i said "stupid software"... and I have...  thats why it is nice that once you program the G9 mouse, you can not have to reinstall the software next reformat to keep the customization
G15 basically requires the software to do anything more than type

i mean, even the cheapest crap has its own drivers, i just think its amazing that no one cares about the keyboards.

The thing is, is after 6 keys, do you really need anymore?  You only have 5 fingers, and your other hand is usually on your mouse, so is there any real motivation to write a custom driver for a keyboard?  That, and if said keyboard needed a custom driver, it might not work without it, thus preventing you from using to tweak the BIOS or just in a general PnP sense.
