[Borman]

I paid 2.5k for mine with overnight shipping, im sure Nipedleys cost easily 3.5k-4k+, same with Eggos hehe

[EGGO]

Oh you know mine cost well over 3.5K with everything.

Ewww the Xaser, that's an ugly case =0�

[ZeikHunter]

nip's gets a 9, would be a 10, but no proc or mobo? liar.....

mines amd64 @ 2181.9mhz
Soltek sl-k8an-rl mobo
512 kingston pc3200 ddr400 ram

Nipedly custom built his

[Borman]

I custom built mine too~

[Nipedley]

nip's gets a 9, would be a 10, but no proc or mobo? liar.....

heh, not yet no.. will do soon though ( few weeks! ) so im using a jetway nforce 2 motherboard and an athlon xp 3200 until it arrives
also, the Xaser 3 is yummy, I think so anyway and err.. price... i estimate it probably cost me about 1600 or 1700 pounds, ive been upgrading bit by bit though so im not entirely sure.

[Dark Neighbour]

9 for Nips. Pretty awesome rig that one. Just need the new bits, huh?

Ok, another computer

Pentium 2 @ ~233 MHz
96 MB RAM
GeForce 2 MX Something or other...32 MB
Sound Blaster 16 Sound Card
20X CD Drive
4 GB Hard Disk (OS)
20 GB Hard Disk (MP3's, only the latest ones though, not enough room for all )

Whata piece of shit, huh?

[Cosmic]

On a retro scale, that gets a 7. On a regular scale it's probably a 3. My old computer is worse though...

Cyrix 120mhz
28mb RAM
Voodoo 2 (second best thing about the comp)
20gb hard drive
CD drive
CD-RW drive (best thing about the comp)

I know there's a few more components, but believe me when I say they aren't worth mentioning. It was out of date when I got in 1998, thank God I know a bit more about computers nowadays...

[madcrow]

retro rating: 4 (cyrixs sucked even when they were new)
current rating: -1

my spex:
p4 2ghz w/o HT
512 MB RAM
30 GB internal HD
80 GB external HD
2x USB 2.0 ports
Intel Extreme GFX 2
vga2ntsc converter box
lite-on cdrw/dvd-rom combo 24X24X4X8
15" LCD monitor

keep in mind that it IS a laptop...

just wanted to add a rating for DN's 386 on the retro scale: 10

i would have loved to have a 386/40 back in the day. that would have very much been an ub3r-1337 computer in 1990.
