My Latest PC

You can view my old PC page if you wish. But it is about four "generations" behind

My latest PC

ASUS P4P800-Deluxe with hyper-threading enabled
Intel P4 3.0GHz(C) overclocked to 3.6GHz (through AI OC on MB, stock heatsink/fan)
OCZ Enhanced Latency PC-3700 Platinum Series 1GB Dual Channel kit.
Sound is provided by the onboard AD1985, 6-channel digital audio Codec
Currently utilizing a Maxtor, ATA133, 8MB Cache drives with a total of one-half terrabyte of storage space
One old Seagate UDMA-33 2GB HD, I don't really know why, but it has some old stuff on it
LiteOn DVD+R/RW drive, LDW800S (4X DVD+R) morphed to LDW-811S (8X DVD+R)
AOPEN CD-RW CRW3248
Maxtor Ultra PCI ATA133 Promise IDE Controller card
ATI All In Wonder 32MB Radeon drives Primary Monitor
ATI Xpert 128 drives the Secondary Monitor
Housed in a Blue Thermaltake Xaser III V1000D Super Tower w/500 Watt Power Supply. A beautiful case that has two USB 2.0 ports, one IEEE 1394 Fire Wire port and headphone/microphone jacks behind a panel on top that I have tied to the motherboard headers
Operating System is Windows XP Professional
Dual monitor setup: two Samsung SyncMaster 955DF 19" monitors. I have been using a dual monitor setup for years, trust me, if you've ever done this, you will NEVER go back to single monitor! I use a dual monitor setup at work as well.
Cambridge SoundWorks PCWorks three-piece speaker system (two satellite, one subwoofer)
Other peripherals, HP Deskjet 970Cse, Visioneer 8600USB Scanner, Zip100 USB drive, 6-in-1 hot-dockable memory card reader (which has two externl USB 2.0 ports in the 3.5" docking bay)

I use this PC mainly for work, some video capturing/editing/rendering and playing around with messing up my web pages.

My sons use PCs that I have also built, used myself, and they have inherited through my upgrades.
One is a PIII 1GHz, 512MB, based on a CUSL2 board w/ATI 9600 Radeon.
The other is a PIII 800MHz, 512MB, also based on a CUSL2 board w/ATI 9200 Radeon.

My sons use them for gameplay, staying in touch with their friends and do a lot of music composition on them (I kid you not!).
