How much did you pay for your computer?

[dP]

Well? I got my 2 computers for about 1200 and this laptop for 2500

 

[jd-inflames]

I payed about 400 for mine, but most people would have spent around 600-800...I get kind of a discount.

And the sig limit is 500x200, you have 24 hours.

 

[CelestialBadger]

The one I'm using right now was free. I've been leeching computer parts from various places to build it. It's not top of the line, but it works.

 

[aphextwin]

$2500 for everything BUT printer& monitor...... verry bad deal indeed

 

[Sicloan]

i built my own computer. it was only $800 and some change and it has decent specs

280 gigs of storage (240 in raid-0)
2.8 ghz p4 with HT (800 fsb)
Asus p4p800 delux mobo
500 watt power supply
24x cdburner (ripped from old computer)
$100 acrylic case (yes its clear... pwned)
$24 for fans (red LED and 2 cold cathods)
i got the memory for free for my b-day.... but i got 1 gig corsair memory (BRANDED IS BETTER)

OS: FREE** OMG I STEAL!!
speakers: b-day
monitor: 15 LCD ($300) got it about 3 years ago... my dad bought it so i didnt pay

so yeah all in all i only spent about $800... but total in parts my computer is probably worth over $1400 easily

next upgrade: 2*10k rpm raptors & watercooling

oh yeah and im building a custom case too =P

1.7k for this, bought this 2 yrs ago, my new comp i want will cost 700-1.2k.

 

[Speedy]

I bought my comp for roughly $2100. I'll edit the specs in later...

Bios/Registry/programs that do it.

ppl commonly go about overclocking their cpus by changing the fsb multiplier ratio. This can be done in 2 ways:
1) Newer computers: software Bios
2) My old 486dx2: manual bios setting change through playing with the jumpers.

You've got a pentium 3, pentium 3 processors are worthless these days, so I don't see why you shouldn't overclock (don't go overboard though, i'd overclock to around 700-800 only). But IF you do, don't forget to get urself a nice cooling system first.

methinks I'll start writing up a guide to overclocking for this forum...
