Your computer

So, whats your computer like? Mine is a big honking desktop, 20 inch monitor, ginormous tower, AMD chip(3400+ I think). Its okay for gaming and it has all these little quirks. For instance, every once in a while the keyboard will go schizo on me and jump around, repeat characters, switch to caps locks, and move that little line thingmajig all over so its really hard to type. Every once in a while the 8 button gets stuck down and the keyboard does nothing but repeat 8s till I smack some sense into it.
The oddest thing about the computer is the fan system. When I start the bad boy up it sounds like a jet taking off the runway. Its incredible. When I'm on for a long time, say longer than 2 hours, it will just kick in sometimes and scare the bejeesus out of all the cats. Its pretty funny.

Mine has a really, really old case (2003) with graffiti all over the front, done with a permanant marker. :P

It also has an AMD Athlon XP 2.17GHz chip, a Radeon 9800 Pro Graphics card, DvD ROM, CD/RW, 2 hard drives, an LCD flatscreen 17" TFT monitor and a standard 5-button optical mouse with a new keyboard that doesn't quite fit underneath my desk properly.

Yeah I know, it's old and crap. Plus the CPU fan needs replacing - It keeps getting up to 70C unless I open the case and blow a desktop fan directly into it. :S But it's still good enough to run HL2: Episode 1 with a decent FPS.

Maybe I'll upgrade when I get some money.

G4 iMac.

I'll spare you the details because, let's face it, nobody cares how much memory or what kind of graphics card your computer has, unless you're comparing e-Penis or something.

But I like comparing e-penis!

Anyways, I havea crappy computer

Win98SE, Pentium 3 500 MHz, 32 Mb Nvidia Geforce 2, and less than 20 GB of diskspace. There's 2 Harddrives in my p.o.s.

And it hates me. I have to press refresh a lot, and then it'll load the page. It chrashes every 10 minutes or so, you can almost tell time with it.

My parents have a relatively good computer, but my computer suckz....I mean, get a load of this:

17" CRT(I'll bet no one in this day knows what those are anymore)
600 MHz, as compared to 1600 on my parents'
Windows 2000 Professional
annnd....20 GB hard disk.

My videocard crashed recently, but we managed to fix it...it's Radeon something, I stashed the box somewhere faraway, I think.

Pitiful, isn't it?It doesn't even have an internet connection

I have one of the old, colorful iMacs. It's blue and pretty, but slow and kind of crappy. It gets me by though, and I never worry about getting a virus.

Yes. We have to use it outside, which is why i dissappear from the forums a lot. The rain makes it so wet that we can't light it again.
