Your Worst Computer


Recommended Posts

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)

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

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:((

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!

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
