For Sale: This is a partial AMD64-based machine. Contains the following:

o Antec case (which has been partially painted!)

o Chaintech VNF3-250 motherboard (nForce3-based)

o AMD64-3000 CPU

o 512MB Corsair PC3200 RAM

o CDRW (I forget the speed, but pretty fast)

o DVD-ROM

o Antec TrueBlue 480W PSU with blue lights!

o Many, many colourful fans!

o Couple of round IDE cables.

Basically, I guess this system's complete other than harddrives and a video card. I do have an nVidia ti4200 in there now but I'm not counting that cause the fan's a bit loud.

Mmmm. $350?

I think he sprayed it with febreeze before the sale

nice, i fucked mine by putting XP on it

I recently upgraded also.

3200+ winchester
Asus A8v
1GB corsair 3200 c2 ram

One day I'll upgrade from this R9700 too... But damn video cards are even more expensive now....

[Shai Gar]

isnt a winchester a rifle? and a corsair a protoss vessel?

[Architectonic]

You clearly aren't geeky enough. :p

[Shai Gar]

i would dispute that, i just aren't geeky about computers, when i saw corsair i thought "the fool and his corsairs ride at night" and then immediately the pirate definition.

my geekyness is my literary knowledge, biatch

I just got a Sony PCG-C1VN:

1024x480 8.9" LCD (with a camera in it's bezel)
600MHz Transmeta Curesoe CPU
128MB RAM
20GB HDD

The price (eBay) was $800, high because the auction included PCMCIA CD and floppy



It's a lot of fun and great for getting on WiFi everywhere, but I can't get Linux to work on it despite the many webpages and FAQs available on the subject (Google -> Picturebook Linux) -- stupid me
