Let us all have some fun
My Computer: I am running a ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe Mother Board with Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.60GHz 2.61Ghz possessor. 4GB of Ram. For my graphics card I am using ASUS V9950 Ultra V44.71 256MB.
My sound card is Audigy 2 Platinum Complete with a Bose 6.1 surround sound system that kicks ass.
Internally I have two Western Digital 250GB hard drives. One of my internal 250GB has been partitioned in half one part holding my operating system and the other half which holds all my programs. The second 250GB holds my storage for transferring VHS tapes to DVD disk. Externally I have one Western Digital hard drive and one external Maxtor 160 GB hard drive. I have two DVD – R RW+ Memorex disk drives and of course just one common floppy disk drive. I am running windows XP professional and have cable internet set at 3Mb, that is not counting the amount of cables running into my servers. I am Running through Linksys cable modem into a Linksys router that runs into my computer. I have a total 6 Led cooling fans four that push in and two that draws out. I also have two neon sticks inside on at the bottom and one at the top. And a Sony 17 Inch monitor.
So is my computer that I built.
After reading that post, and looking at the avatar that you chose, it somehow all fits perfectly.

JK :;)
You all would be surprised the type of person I am. What I do for a living and my life style. Anyhow I am not a nerd or a geek. You all are crazy. Had lots of fun and I will see you on the other side.

Sounds like a lot of wasted space there. You could fit all that on a 10GB drive.
And 4GB of RAM? You don't need that much surely?
And why 2 DVD burners? You only need one, you could use the other IDE channel for another 250GB h/d.
What do you do for a living? This is a direct question.
Is it not a feat sublime? Intellect hath conquered time.

nothing to see here
I bet you randomly pet and rub the case too.

Ask smart questions!
I have a POS laptop that hooks up to my schools 768kbps network (slowed to about ~1-30kbps by all the people using it). It's got a crappy via C3 processor that won't work with any linux distros except lindows and I want a new computer. :-|
What I Do For A Living
Yes you are very direct and I like direct questions. So what I do for a living is I work for myself out of my home and sometimes outside my home depending on which job I am doing. Lets start with the easy stuff first. I have deals with surrounding box stores and computer stores as a computer set up man. What that means is when someone buys a computer and after they get it home they call me and I come out and set up their computer, printer and scanner if they have these items. Then if they want I hook them up with a internet provider in their area. I tend to find that out before I go out to the address because where I live it is mostly Charter Pipeline or Comcast in which If they have not already done so I go and get the cable modem and anything I need in order to complete my job. This whole job pays me $30.00 per-setup. Seeing that I live within between the three top cities we call them the tricities I have about 4 to 9 calls per-day and during the silly season I am over booked working as much as 18 hours per-day that is when I bring in my crew to ease up on the over flow.
If they want me to install software it is $10.00 for each software install. Make sure that they have their Antivirus installed and a proper firewall. I go over with them on how to use the internet and how to send email and so on. This all takes about an hour to do all of this. I just get everything hooked up as fast as possible and get on to the next job.
Second Job At Home: I really never wanted to get into this as much as I am at this moment but it is paying out the nose and it makes me a lot of money. I take people’s old VHS tapes and make them into DVD’s, now you want to talk about a boring job just try to imagine yourself setting in front of a computer all day and most of the night while your computer records hours of family videos. This job pays me $55.00 per-tape and $80.00 per-hour for any editing but I always seem to get soft and edit some that crap for free.
I keep the hard copy and then make copies for my customers. Their first copy is free then there is a charge of $5.00 or each additional DVD’s. This is what I do through the night is the editing part. It takes a lot of time to go through footage and cut out the bad things that are useless and just takes up to much time. I would be here all night telling you how it all works.
Depending on work loads I make anywhere from $2,500.00 Per-month or as high as $3,800.00 per-month. I have 3 employees that do computer setups they get $15.00 for each set up and I get $15.00 and they get the full amount for any software installs.
Then there come third Job: Computer repair, I know you are going to ask how I manage this lets just say I have two kids who work on minor repairs and another tech that has his own business repairing computers. I really don’t get that many calls for repairs outside the home and I can send the kids out on their bikes to do home repairs if they are within a five mile radius. And can you believe that this was all worked out by word of mouth? We have business cards and that is it.
That’s what I do for a living!
Depending on what you want to use your computer for and you pretty much know your way around inside of a computer you can build your own. I know this is going to sound like a lie but my daughter built her own computer when she was 8 years old and completely on her own. If she can do it anyone can. You have to know what you want though it is way cheeper. You could also look for a computer store that sells used computers.
I already have a hard drive hooked up to that IDE Channel. and about the DVD's Look up and see what I do for a living and you will know why. Keep me posted though on any ideas you come up with I am always open to new ideas.
I kiss her goodnight when I shut her down.
Why wouldn't I want that much ram? Might as well go as high as I can go rather if I need it or not. Right? I am paying for it, not anyone else.
