Trying to get some discussion going. Post your system(s) specs below.

Here's mine:

Athlon64 3000+ 939 o'clocked to 2.6ghz
DFI Ultra-D LanParty 939 board
2GB OCZ Platinum ram
2 x 6600GT in SLI mode
2 x 320GB SATA drives
Antec Nine Hundred case with monster 200mm fan on top,
and 4 more 120mm fans throughout (its a wind-tunnel)
Arctic Cooling Freezer64 Pro

and I also have an Acer 5002 laptop (Turion something or other)

Gonna stick with the 939 system for a while, maybe beef up video
in a year and looking for a good deal on Opteron dual core on ebay.

uber, nice specs. is that the 939 or AM2 chip?

I hate how AMD left us all in a dead upgrade path with 939 by pulling all 939 dual cores off market so fast. I see AM2 dual cores these days for $60!!! and even 6000+ X2 can be had for $170 or so, yet 939 dualies never got much below $300 before they were yanked and made obsolete.

I used to support AMD all the way, but that experience has left me very bitter towards them. If i were to get a new board+cpu, i'd go Intel Core Duo.

I just built a new PC a few months ago. After a couple years of having a system that sounded like a jet engine I decided to build as quiet a machine as I could. To that end, I got:

My CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+. It has a 30w "Brisbane" core for low-power/low-heat which means I was able to get away with cooling it using only a ZEROtherm BTF95 heatsink-- no fan!

The motherboard is a relatively cheap GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3. It's got all the features I want and, most importantly, no fans on the chipset.

I also got a FSP Group ZEN 400 watt fanless power supply and a GIGABYTE GeForce 7600GT fanless video card.

I had to have some airflow in the case, though, so used two 120mm 800rpm 8.7dBa case fans, one for intake in the front and one for exhaust in the back. Even with my ear to the case I can't hear them, yet they push 33 cfm each, keeping my case temperature within a few degrees of the room's ambient temperature.

Really, the only noise I ever hear is when my hard drive is seeking or when the DVD drive is in use. It's wonderful.

And even though the video card isn't the latest and greatest (let alone an SLI), I still haven't run into a game it couldn't handle yet.

The rest of the stuff:
- ASUS 18x DVD burner w/ SATA interface
- Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
- LIAN LI PC-7B plus II ATX Case
- 2 x CORSAIR XMS2 1GB SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) memory sticks
- HannsยทG HW-223DPB 22" 5ms HD 1080P DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor
- HT OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 Sound Card
- Logitech Internet 1500 wireless keyboard and optical mouse

Yeah it's a 939.
I bought all this over a year 1/2 ago and the AM2 was still talk so I thought it was a safe bet with 939.
And I'm with you if I had to build again I would go with the Core 2 Duo.
Unless the AMD Phenom kicks Intel's butt...

It's AMD's new processor architecture that was suppose to come out a couple months ago but has been pushed back to late this year or early next.

I don't know all the specs, but:

Intel Pentium 3 Processor (I think)
60MB RAM
3GB Hard drive
Windows 98 (not SE)
3 1/2" floppy drive
CD-ROM
HP keyboard
Broken Logitech mouse
HP 15" CRT Monitor
2 USB Ports

I think that's about it....the fan doesn't work so I've got the case half-open so it'll stay cooler.

Think it's time for an upgrade? We bought in in like '98.

(I killed my good computer, and I'm saving for a Macbook, so I make due with this piece for a while...)

Well my ram is 512MB and HDD 160 GB

So, Prelude, are you impressed? Bet you've never seen anything quite that awesome. :D I've got so much space on that hard drive that I can't figure out what to download to fill it up.

Believe it or not, it still runs Photoshop 6.
