Rep Power: 42942 | My computer is new and I love it!!! It's a smokin' Compaq laptop. I've got a wireless keyboard and mouse and a 22" HP flat panel hooked up to it. So, I get it going, close the lid and put it away while I'm using the wireless keyboard and mouse to the monitor like a desktop. If I need to roam while computing, well gosh, I just unhook the monitor and wireless for the mouse and keyboard and I'm good to roam around with it as a laptop. I am stoked, couldn't be happier. Compaq Laptop: $449.00 (3 gigs of ram, Intel dual core, 250 gig hard drive, dvd w, 5 card reader, video cam and mic built in, 15.6" monitor, Vista Premium, Microsoft Works. Insurance on laptop, everything but theft, includes accidental damage, 2-years: $99.00. HP 22" flat panel: $298.00 (it's got the kind of panel you can rotate in all directions. So, for...roughly 850, I got a desktop and and a smokin' laptop, all in one, with insurance that includes accidental damage. It took a few weeks to shop out that price, but it was worth it. I could not find any laptop in this price range with these features until I located this one at OfficeMax. If you need help finding a new computer, lemme know, be happy to point you in the right direction! |

Vista 64bit on a 3gHz Core2Duo processor, 4 gigs DDR2 RAM, nVidia 8600GT video card, just over 2 Terabytes formatted storage space on 5 hard drives, Samsung 25.5inch LCD monitor.... and I need(want) more horsepower....

When I need more desktop real estate, I open the laptop and do the "extended desktop". Funny, you can use both mouses and keyboards when you open the laptop. So, I'll turn to the laptop, get it going via the laptop touch pad and keyboard, toss programs over to the extended desktop, turn to the monitor station, get those going from the wireless keyboard and mouse, it's like having two computers and a monitor 3 feet wide! The new system you are building ...gawd dim dan diddely do! I won't be playing quake with you! Last edited by Eazy; 03-09-2009 at 03:48 PM.. | |

Rep Power: 353312 | Re: my computer is_________ Running like a DREAM again... Thank you ScrewyLewy..... I have 2 Hard drives 1) 80 gig (used 38 gb) 2) 120 gig (used 7 gb) 2.00 GB of Ram Computer: AMD Athlon (tm) XP 3000+ The second one hardly has anything on it. It's been a long time since I had access to that 2nd drive. so I mirrored everything onto my 1st. drive incase it should fail. Last edited by Bemysnugglemate; 03-15-2009 at 01:12 PM.. |

Rep Power: 42942 | omg. May I donate some RAM to you??? I've got two megabytes jus' sittin' here collecting dust. Actually, I have most of the parts needed to build you smokin' XP or Vista PC for cheap. Lemme know! We'll just need to get a licensed copy of XP or Vista, an integrated motherboard and a tower (you could use the old one, an Antec, but...it's wracked, was in a hardcore, smoke filled recording space, quite sturdy...n' dirty)! Yeah...if we all pitch in parts, we can put quite a nice together PC for MRT. If anybody's game, lemme know. If somebody wants to do a nice paint job on the case, ha...it'll be sweet. Hey, wait...let's let OC Chopper customize the box -- they'll love the task..."we've always wanted to find out what's going in in California with that medical marijuana controversy...we've seen some plants and some WeedTracker stuff and talked to a few people I've got a few ideas...I think I know what they want...I'm gonna start off with a tower case that doubles as a bong and looks like a turtle...it will have wheels so you can move it around...chopped, pipes out the back..." |
