I see you're also stuck with the gtx 1060 3gb! Not a bad lil card but damn it's holding my ryzen 7 back a lot in what it's capable of. If only good video cards did not cost as much as beater cars! 

Yeah he only spent $300 on this thing. Still a solid machine though, especially for how much he actually spent on it (some of it is hodge-podged from his younger brother's older parts, some of it was ordered online).

WOW, considering that Gtx cards even the 3 gb editions go for over 200 still that sounds like a KILLER deal!

Why dont you just buy a new case for it? Cheap DIY pc cases can be had for VERY cheap and are still much better than stock cases. For instance something like this (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811353049?Description=diy pc case&cm_re=diy_pc_case-_-11-353-049-_-Product) can be had for only 23 plus a lil tax and it'll beat the hell out of an oem case!

I would, but it doesn't feel right spending any more money upgrading a computer that's over ten years old and has questionable hardware compatibility. I could buy a really good case and swap out the internals when I buy parts for a new PC, but I don't have the money for that yet.

Or, I do have another junker Dell case (this one's even older; the most recent CPU it can take is dual core) that I could try to use. At least that one has a mounting point for a fan and a bunch more internal space.

I am still stuck with the same specs as before, but with a new Wifi USB dongle.... And it has given me trouble to access the rest of the computers over the home network (even denies accessing my own computer over \\ path... Access denied ). At least internet works!

SPLASH, your computer is ancient, you REALLLYYYY need to build you a new one!

Do what I did buy a case for it swap out parts then first buy ssd, new video card etc, then eventually go all out and buy a new motherboard CPU etc! 

[Novae 10]

Let's see:

Custom Build
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600+
RAM: 32GB DDR4
STORAGE: 17TB (1 SSD, 3 HDD)
OPTICAL: 1 MultiDrive w/ Blu-Ray Reader, 2 DVD-CDR/W Drives
GRAPHICS: AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
OS: Windows 10

 

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Finally, I have a semi-decent computer. It certainly feels responsive.

CPU: i5-3570

RAM: 8GB 1600MHz (1x4GB + 2x2GB for some odd reason)

Boot drive: 120GB Crucial BX500 SSD

Extra storage: 500GB Western Digital laptop hard drive that I had lying around

GPU: GT 710 (1GB)

And activated Windows 10 (that feels nice to have back). This computer actually runs really well for the price I paid for it. I miss hyperthreading and the GT 710 isn't the best, but the PSU has some room to play in terms of wattage, and if I get an RX 580 or something, then whenever I build a new PC I can just re-use the GPU and save some money. I'll probably do that at the end of the year or something, since I've got other things to save up for first.

I have an Intel Xeon CPU. Just because I like the name. It sounds cooler than "Pentium or Celeron, or Dual/Quad Core"

[Mini 451]

i got a new pc after saving up for a while and i've been loving it so much

CPU: i7-9700KF

RAM: 16GB (2x8GB), 3200MHz DDR4

GPU: RTX 2080 Super

Storage: 512GB M.2 SSD | 2TB HDD

Motherboard: MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk

OS: Windows 10

its nice being able to play games on settings higher than the lowest, even if i'm just playing overwatch, league and the sims lol

[Splashee 28,563]

I made a mistake earlier, I chose the wrong operating system...

 

OS: Windows Me

[TJT02 24]

Here's my thinkin' machine:

CPU: Intel Core-i7 8700 (3.20GHz, 6 cores, 12MB cache)

Graphics: NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6GB VRAM)

Memory: 16GB RAM, two 8GB modules.

Storage: 256GB M.2 SSD and a recycled 1TB HDD from an old laptop.

Motherboard: MSI MORTAR Z370M

Monitors: two HP 27-inch Ultra-Slim 1080p monitors and a 1366x768 monitor I have mounted on the wall using a recycled display from an old laptop.

OS: Windows 10

 

Other stuff:

It's pretty silent, it's not very pretty but it has two white glowing fans, guess that's pretty cool, there's also a wireless WiFi and Bluetooth card since I want some bluetooth and I'm nowhere near an Ethernet point, I also have an Anidees RGB keyboard.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

My computer specs are basically the same as last time, with one big difference. Now it has a GPU in it that costs more than $30.

CPU: i5-3570

RAM: 8GB 1600MHz (still in that weird 1x4GB + 2x2GB config. It works just fine, so I'll probably never change it)

Boot drive: 120GB Crucial BX500 SSD (I need to upgrade to an SSD that has DRAM at some point. It feels like sitting on a ticking time bomb)

Extra storage: 500GB Western Digital laptop hard drive (hey, it was lying around doing nothing, so why not)

GPU: RX 560 4GB

The RX 560 is a standard profile card, but my computer uses an SSF case. I had to carve up the side panel to make it fit, but the computer itself cost me less than $60, so it's no big deal. Now it can actually run games, which is exciting.

[Prometheus 3,038]

Got a pretty solid mid-range PC I built back in January last year.

CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 @ 3.4GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3GB VRAM)
SSD: 250GB Samsung 850 Evo
HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda
Motherboard: Asus Strix B250F
Monitors: 24" Asus VG245H @ 75Hz & 24" Hitachi Full HD TV @ 60Hz both running at 1920 x 1080.

[YoshiFanGM 50]

Main computer:

CPU: Intel Core i3-4160 @ 3.6 GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz (soon to be 16 GB)
GPU: [Integrated] Intel HD Graphics 4400
HDD: 1TB  Toshiba SATA 6.0 Gb/s
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-H (Rev. 1.0)
OS: Debian 10 64-bits

I might consider getting an external GPU for this PC later. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 runs pretty well on Linux though. It even supports the latest OpenGL with Mesa and it has been very responsive for the things I do.

 

Old PC:

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 HT 651 @ 3.4 GHz
RAM: 1.5 GB DDR 333 MHz
HDD: 61.5 GB IDE
Motherboard: Asrock 775i65gv
OS: Lubuntu 18.04 x64 + Windows Me (dual boot)

No external GPU either (it's using the integrated Intel graphics with 96 MB). I like this one mainly for playing old Windows and DOS games, but I also have it as a secondary PC in case my main computer gets broken or becomes irreparable. It's working fine even to this day.

[qib 695]

I dont know the specifics but I've got a MacBook that was made around 2018

Works perfectly, especially if you're having computer problems the only 2 reasons you wouldn't get one is

1. gaming, if you play video games, it simply has to be a pc

2. money - I'd highly recommend saving up for a Mac, if you save up you'll never have to pay the poor mans tax

Plus - no viruses!

Yea, anything Apple is expensive.

[Tropical Melody 6,083]

This one I'm currently typing on:

Dell Inspiron 5770 notebook, Intel Core i5-8250U CPU 1.6 – 1.8  GHz, 64-bit OS, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, 17" screen 1920 x 1080 px, Windows 10 Home, Firefox, iTunes, blah-de-blah-de-blah.

I have a second Dell 57xx, very similar but slightly older: I swap usage between them, keep both up to date same files etc. for when I want to swap. Also means one acts as back-up for the other. Currently I'm using the unused one (bad grammar?) to be connected to CCTV (securiy camera) and / or is used for playing music etc.

There's another three notebooks / laptops in the filing cabinet, two have got XP on, one has Vista. The oldest is 2005.

And there's also an iPhone 6 .....

Don't worry about that, I have an easy solution to money problems, just go into your local bank and ask to see where they keep all of their money, but don't forget to bring a gun, for some reason they treat you like a VIP customer when you have one of those on you...?

[Derpsieh 231]

It's a, uh, pretty bad netbook. 1.1Ghz dual-core CPU, 4Gb of ram, and 32 GB of storage. (Yes, 32. Yes, windows takes up 28+ GB :/   )

I was supposed to upgrade, but that's been pushed back indefinitely.

But it works, I suppose, and that's all I can really ask ^^'

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

A Small Form Factor (SFF) with a Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics @ 3.60GHz (I don't really see the need for a GPU because it plays GTA V great and that's my most intensive game I play) with 8GB RAM and a 1TB HDD and a 19" 1600x900 monitor

[Lunafur 17,814]

My computer spec's are.

CPU: Intel Core i5-10500
