Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz with 800mhz fsb
4gb RAM
500GB Hard Drive

The one I'm on right now is 30 baht ($1) per hour.  But usually I go to the 10 baht per hour places.

My normal ones? It'd be a bit silly to get a special pair especially for using a computer, wouldn't it?

Intel Core i7 930 (@2.8 Ghz)
12GB SDRAM
2TB HDD
Ati Radeon 6870 1GB Video
Bluray/DVD/CD RW

24in widescreen display

Thoughts on an Solid State Drive?  Worth it?  Configuration above too bottlenecked to take advantage?

That's a lot of RAM.  I haven't used a Solid State drive at home yet and only a few at work and never running the OS off of one....which I would assume would be the main advantage?  I don't know a lot about them yet.

Main Box:
Triple Core AMD 2.3Ghz
4Gig Ram
1TB HD
Radeon 4830 512MB
DVD burner
Win7

Ubuntu Box:
Dual Core Intel of some kind
4 gig
500G HD
PCIx video card of some kind..cheap one
DVD burner

A coupe of laptops of not TOO distant vintage.  A couple of MacBooks during the school year.

I built myself a computer for Windows/Gaming to plug it into my TV.

Coolermaster CM Storm case
Quad Core i5-2500k overclocked to 4.1GHz
8GB RAM (Plan to go to 16GB eventually)
Radeon HD 6870 1GB (an amazing card for the price.. only the 6850 is a better value, but it is slower as well).
1TB HD.. plan to have an mSata solid state drive for smart caching.
DVD Burner

That all cost me about $700.  The DVD burner was free and I got deals on everything.  My case came with a 650 watt power supply.

But I pretty much only use it for gaming because I really really really hate Windows.  Plus the screen is too big (32").

I plan on buying either a MacBook Air or a Mini to have for everything else.

They support 32GB... 4 DIMM slots at 8GB a piece.  Though i suspect it will work with 16GB sticks when those become mainstream.

The new i5s are a great value...pretty damn good performance.  It probably beats my half generation older i7 930...which is actually a favorite for enthusiasts (not as much as the 920, but still pretty popular)...if I ever actually sit down and build a system...which I may in the near future...I'd go with that chip...especially if I wanted a gaming system.

Yeah, my system can take pretty much any game I throw at it on max settings.

I figured the i7-2600k wasn't really needed and I needed the extra $100.  Now they're charging $369 for the 2700K.. what a rip off.  The i5-2500k is the best value of any intel chip pretty much.
