At my mom's house, I have an old Dell laptop that I hated, but it still works. :/

[MrKuro]

Celeron 420 @ 1.6GHz

1GB DDR2 RAM

2TB RAID0

Onboard video/gigabit/audio

Used as file server (not up at the moment)

not a bad pc for a file server ... but

2TB RAID ? okay...

I hope you have these files backed up somewhere, or they are not important enough to lose if one of them hdd's decides of die unexpectedly .

2TB of data is not fun to lose..

(btw, I currently have about 9TB of usable space, all redundant in someway, either direct backup, raid1 or raid5)

[portauthority]

raid1/raid5 isn't considered backup either

i only have 500GB of data ATM so i have a 3rd 1TB drive with copies

My Dad's Computer:

Pentium 4, 8gb HDD, 512mb RAM, Windows XP

[Kittamaru]

Any pics? That would be awesome to see. :p

I'll have to bug my parents to dig it out of the self-storage site (since the site is in their name technically). I forget when we got it... think it used to belong to my 1st grade teacher 0o'

[Purple Haze]

Compaq - 400mhz AMD, but not the AMD's fault, thing was just a buggy piece of crap. Think it was mostly because it was Win98 first edition, but damn that was hell. Made me wish I'd kept my Packard Bell 266mhz P2.

[stephen_0002]

Wife pc is the slowest.

AMD Atholon 2800+

Asus A7V8X-X Mobo

1.5 GB DDR pc3200

2 x 250GB Maxtor Diamond 7200rpm

Asus Geforce 5700 256MB

Aspire X-Navigator Full Size tower

[BinaryFragger]

I still have a Blue And White G3 Mac in use, configured as a headless server.

300MHz, 256MB RAM, OS X Panther

[J400uk]

Pentium 4 2.8ghz ht, 512mb ddr400 geil, 40gb wdd, dvd drive

[Malskazz]

Wow. :yes:

[Alexandre.]

Something like a Pentium 4 with a 1.6 ghz cpu, 256 mbs RAM, an ancient Nvidia FX ( or was it MX ?) 400 gfx card.

[TEX4S]

lol my worst computer is pretty good :p

3.0ghz p4

2gb ram

x300

160 gb hdd.

Same here -

My "worst" computer is a Toshiba A205-s4587 C2D w/ 2 Gb RAM --

I dont keep em around for long - I just sold a very "old" Toshiba m45 lappy for $300 it had a 2.0 Ghz Celeron w/ 1 Gb RAM - that thing was a fossilized piece of crap.

I also recently sold my other "old" laptop - which was my favorite - a Thinkpad T43 w/ 1.86 Pentium M w/ 2 Gb RAM & 60 Gb HDD. - I miss it - had a custom XP install on it (very streamlined) - thing was fast as hell.

My only desktop is my main system - which is an absolute beast

My worst of all time ?? I had (2) Compcraps (compaq) @ work - actually killed them both by ESD on purpose to get new ones - good thing my father owned the company :D

[andrew_f]

Worst is probably my MacBook Pro, I love it but the mouse button broke, the magsafe caught alight and it got extremely hot. Now replaced it with a Sony Vaio, but still use my MBP occasionally :)

[SQ1]

I have a AMD 450mhz with 320mb RAM running Win2003 Server. Does the web / ssh tunnel / torrent downloading service perfectly ;)

[Glorious]

Worst computer would be my main one right now as the motherboard is stupidly unstable. However, I've had enough so I have a P5Q Deluxe on the way.

[Sophism]

My worst computer would be my server which is an E6600 with 4 TB;s of space and 8 gigs of memory. I run VMWare Server to consolidate running multiple crappy servers.

[Dan~]

Mine is a P4 2.4ghz 1gb ram, 200+80gb hdd (both full) hasnt been restarted in 83days, got no video (until i restart) 128mb gfx card

I dread to think how much rubbish is in the registery and everywhere else, when I play Wolfenstein:ET I get about 8fps!

In the process of building my new pc, got an Antec P182 DVD-rw/cd, 150gb WD velicoraptor, Corsair 650watt psu, Intel bad axe mobo and Dual Core extreme edition processor. just got another ?1000 to spend on my PC and then it's complete, gonna be expensive build

Taken forever too:((

[Shadrack]

Mac Mini G4 1.2GHz. I wouldn't hate it so much but the DVD drive doesn't work on it anymore, and I was using it for watching movies in my bed room :mad: and as a fancy alarm clock. I need to find a replacement for it (but not through apple).

[Des]

Compaq Presario w/ XP Sp3.. 1.25gb Ram... AMD Athlon 64 3800+... 50x DVD+ Burner

not terrible, runs fine.. can run PS and stuff too, but still limited on the Ram.

[P4Power]

My SmoothWall PC

200MHz Intel Pentium Pro with 256KB L2

256MB of 60ns EDO RAM

3.8GB Quantum Fireball Hard Drive

NVIDIA TNT2 M64 16MB PCI

3 x NIC

SmoothWall 3.0 Polar

When I say it is the worst computer I have running currently, I mean the specifications. Other than that it is rock solid and absolutely manhandles SmoothWall for what I have it set up to do. I did some googling and found out what the computer itself cost new and what the upgrades cost during the time frame the PC itself was released or its new price and once I added it all up I was completely amazed: ~$8,700!! I bought it used along with every other component that has been upgraded and I don't even have a $100 in the whole thing!

[tsupersonic]

P1 150MHz

32 MB of RAM

Got you all beat.
