girls are welcome to participate.

the specs of my_dick are :

--- Core: ---
FIC SD11 : I hate FIC. Therefore I hate my motherboard. I fucked myself up the ass on this one... shoulda bought the Asus.

Athlon™ Classic : five hundred and fifty million cycles per second of pure processing power. AMD gave me this one for free because my business card makes me look like I deserve one.

384MB of PC133 SDRAM : If you have less that 256MB of RAM, I want you to take a pen and jab it repeatedly into your asshole. That is precisely how your machine feels about the memory situation.

13G IBM hard drive : 7200rpm! Zoom! I want the 30GB Deskstar.

300W SPI power supply with noise killer fan : why do people hook up 񘈨 worth of equipment to a cheap-ass power supply? I don't get it. Spend the extra thirty bucks and make your shit stable, you misers.

--- Multimedia: ---

Mitsumi 4X2x8 CD-RW : You can laugh at the brand, you can laugh at the slow speed, but it's still the best drive I've found for audio CD's. I back up a lot of those for my friends.

Pioneer 6x DVD : I can watch DVDs. That's pretty cool. See below.

Sound Blaster Live! Value : modded to have an SPDIF connection to DVD player, two quarter-inch mono inputs, and RCA SPDIF output.

Sony STR-DE445 Stereo Receiver : I bought it after Christmas. Oh, man, this thing is sweet. It has SPDIF digital input, with full Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS decoding.

Cambridge Soundworks bookshelf speakers : nice and buttery. They sound killer when I crank 'em up.

Roland D-5 synthesizer : my main music input device. One of the E's is broken and the top octave doesn't work. I hate it.

Korg Poly-800 synthesizer : this thing sounds so 80's I can't believe it. The interface is horrible, but I love the way it sounds.

Diamond Viper V770 : okay. This video card is wuss (16MB TNT2), but I don't really play games. A GeForce 2 is on the wishlist.

ViewSonic E771 : It's not the best, and not the worst. I worked on a 14" for so long, I'm just glad it's big.

--- Network: ---

1.5MBit DSL fed into a 100MBit switch in my housemate's room. 4 other machines, including 2 Linux boxes. Domain control by Samba.

--- Miscellany: ---
Logitech Internet Keyboard : it's a good keyboard, except for the fact that the left leg broke off. I have it propped up on two 16MB EDO SIMMs.

Microsoft Optical Mouse : if your mouse isn't optical, I feel really, really sorry for you.

Canon BJC-2000 : Never buy a Canon printer. They go through ink faster than I go through K-Y jelly.

Mustek 1200UB scanner : This is a nice little scanner. It runs off USB power (draw : 496mA), and uses red, green, and blue LEDs for illumination instead of a xenon tube. Scan quality is respectable. I probably wouldn't use it for commerical work.

Okay, that's mine, now let's see yours.

edit : this is the biggest post i've ever typed. i just wanted to say that. thank you.

and a whole buncha cool software

Hey Damien, how do you like that STR-DE445? Doesn’t it make so much difference when you have an actual SOUND SYSTEM hooked up? I used to have the DE945 until I upgraded... I am currently pushing somewhere between 1500 and 2000 watts and when the bass hits my kidneys malfunction, my computer restarts, and the cops show up at my door...god I love it

for the record, i have an old dick.
my 200 MHz pmmx processor isn't very impressive and my 30 gig of hd space and 128 meg of ram is easily outdone these days.

hell yes. All of you who are running PC speakers, I am sorry... none of them thump like my system. From the sound of it, Blain, your system would kick my systems ass. I bow to you, sir.

don't talk smack about my sound card, though - it's too tricked out to be properly considered a "Live Value" any more. I just looked at the specs - a Live 5.1 is just a Live Value card with SPDIF out on the back. It uses the exact same sound chip, and the Value has pin connectors for everything.

If you have a connector on the back that says "Digital Out" you're already set. Just get a mono 1/8" plug to RCA adapter and plug into any Dolby Digital amp. If you don't, and are comfortable splicing two wires together, I can tell you how to make the digital connector, using a CD-ROM audio connector and a RCA cable.

You can also add a couple SPDIF IN ports, to plug in your CD-ROM (so the sc gets a digital signal on audio cds, instead of analog) or other SPDIF device.

good lord, I love a good sound system...

solid, for God's sake please get more memory. 128MB on a 800MHz PIII makes me want to cry

current price at my work is ๟ for 128MB.

//me smacks head// Goddamn, why didn’t I think of that? The only reason I wanted a 5.1 card is because it has optical out (the very words make me all warm and fuzzy inside)
Off to circuit shitty I go...

Blain - there's absolutely NO difference in sound quality between copper and optical SPDIF. They're just two different ways of encoding the same digital signal. It's a way for the audio companies to make $$$ - think about it - you almost got suckered into paying another 贄 for the same sound card you already have, plus another ุ for the optical connection.

Kinda reminds me of the Pentium IV.

bring it on my system ownzzz lol

what kuru said. NVRAM is sometimes incorrectly called "CMOS" or "CMOS RAM." it's where the BIOS stores info about hard drives, the time, plug & play configurations, etc.

i seriously doubt you have 64MB of it - more likely you have 64MB of SDRAM

There is an american megatrends BIOS that is popular among "all in one" super7 boards that will report the SDRAM size as being "NVRAM". . . .never could figure that one out. I prefer Awards BIOS myself.

"I am not a Marxist." -- Karl Marx

you're not going to have 64 MB of it, at any rate, because really that much isn't required for the things it has to remember. which would be your hardware configurations, onboot password, clock, plug-n-pray^H^H^H^Hplay, and a few other things in your bios.

most likely what's happening is your computer does an NVRAM check, and then scans your SDRAM just to make sure there are no problems, errors, compatibility issues, or changes with that, and it's showing up on the screen close together so it looks like the same thing.

Altec Lansing : These are stereo with a sub. They could use an upgrade. I do however run my Audio out from my computer room to my living room. And attached to my DE845 is a 15" 200 Watt Cerwin Vega Sub, Bose 701 Series front speakers, a Bose Center Channel, and Bose 301 Series Surround Speakers.

I currently have a Yamaha HTR-5250 (I like the sound better then the DE-945, but it has a few less tweaks and imputs) BTW, I would literally give my left nut for a 7.1 system, so I am going to call you a bastard because I am jealous.(if you do get one)
My front speakers are Technics, they aren’t super expensive, but they sound pretty good (the 15 inch sub in each one doesn’t hurt), I have a pair of Bose subs hooked up to the B channel.
I am using a nice Bose center, but I only have the cube speakers for my rear channels; nevertheless they sound very nice.

Why don't you go find me that ONKYO cheap for me? I've found it for 񘛗.99

It's waaaaaaaaaaaay bad ass... THX EX Ultra certified. That's better than what they use in the theatre!!! Oh no... My dick is getting hard again!!!!

I'm not getting it until I get my WideScreen TV because as of now, I don't have use for the component video inputs. I can't imagine what the wiring is going to look like!!!

The receiver alone weighs 50 lbs!!!

I'm in love.....

Here's the < link to the product >. If anyone can find it cheap, please let me know!!!

I need that reciever. I need to save my money and buy that thing! And a Big-Wide-Screen!!! AAAAAAAAA

I want to be rich!

As for finding that sub for so cheap, what I meant was “Sears will price match any web sight. wink, wink” They don’t do that any more because some hackers hit a website and sears ended up selling a few thousand gameboys for ů a pop.
BTW, what kind of TV did you get? I would totally take that receiver over a HDTV, but I listen to more music then I do watch movies.

I have my Sony Reciever STR-DEH845
I have a Sony DVD Changer
300+1 Discs DVP-CX860

I still have an old Sony 5 disc CD Changer that I'm about to toss...
And then my newest baby is the KP-57XBR10W 57" 16:9 Hi Scan 1080i™ XBR Projection Television

Oh and my DirecTV is still RCA at the moment. I plan on buying a Sony Reciever and then moving the RCA into the Bedroom. My current TV is RCA as well.

The Sony Playstation2. Always a fine addition.

I wasn't going to get a PS2, simply for the fact that I was going to wait on the Xbox. Now I wish I woulda got a PS2 while I had the chance....

I have one too (bought it about 2 months before it was release, and received it on the first day). It doesn't matter that you can't afford any games... because their aren't any. Not until March or so, because developers want their releases to coincide with another rush of systems to America. All bad planning, if you ask me. Us early adopters got screwed (except, I love my SSX )

I want a Vega/Wega too, but 躔 for a 27" TV? Ouch. Any bigger is astronomical. I'm considering it, though.. .mostly so i can have component inputs... from my Sony DVD and Sony PS2 and Optical out to my Sony receiver.

-The Book of Cataclysm

I have three PC's at home. I have a AMD K62 550 (which has to run at 500 because I can't compile kernel at 550). This sytem has a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 TV, 128 Mb RAM, 2x DVD, and 42x CD.

My second system has two 14 GB hard drives, 32 Mb RAM, Intel Pentium 133 running Red Hat 6.2 with the 2.4.1 kernel. The only real neat thing is that my one harddrive is the reiserfs filesystem, and houses my PostgreSQL databases.

My last system is purely for fun. It is a SparcSration 10 with two SuperSpart 150, and 256 Mb ram. It has a GX frame buffer so it can do 24 Bit at 1280x1024 (this was in 1994 mind you), and two 50Pin 5.9 MS 7200 RPM 18 Gb seagate hard drives. This is not much now but it makes one hell of a system for running the ultralinux port of snes9x. I have never missed a frame :-) The only thing I would like in this system is 100Mbit NIC. I am running on the integreated 10Mbit, and I would like to make use of the nuilt in ISDN as well.

Thats all I got for a dick!
