Dell Precision M6600 laptop.
I know that because thats what flashes up when I switch it on.
Beyond that I couldnt tell you much, but I the IT bloke said it has a raid. Whatever a raid is.
Oh, & it weighs a ton.

Some pretty impressive machines there for desktops!
I think my smart phone has more oomph than my desktop and laptop put together
I work for a company that makes, among other things, chipsets for mobile phones and tablets. There's a crazy arms race going on right now!My desktop is a pretty boring 3 year old Dell laptop, Core2 duo, 4G. But the servers at work that I've been involved in setting up...
Intel Xeon, 3.5GHz
12 core (+ 2way hyperthreading = "24 core")
148G DDR
About 1Tb RAID1 SAS storage.Posted 4 months ago # -
Athlon 1700, 160GB drive and 1GB RAM. Even then, the RAM was a recent eBay purchase (just so iTunes would run as I was fine on 256MB), meaning my total PC hardware spend for the past decade was £5 (including postage and packing).

I'm more interested in the older machines still proving good service. I have a P4 3.2Ghz 1gb running Ubuntu which is fine for office applications.

6920 for my new 13" MacBook Pro

a pissing contest about computers just proves that none of the contestants have penises

Mines well outdated now but thinking about going for an upgrade late this year.
E3500 Wolfdale with 4GB after the other 4GB died and GT460, off the top my head though and it runs BF3 ok but I've stopped playing it and switched to Star Wars The Old Republic for now.
Have to laugh at he people saying how sad it is posting form their computers.

So there you go. Seventy years of people building modern computers and they could have saved themselves the trouble. MrS says they're not cool, they're "just a computer".
Or maybe it's national ignorance week again?

I.T. is not cool.
when people say "look at this, isn't it cool". it isn't, it's just a computer.And to the general public, neither are mountain bikes!
In fact, is anything universally cool? As well as Mountain Bikes and computers, I love cars, motorbikes, rugby, cricket, House Music, road bikes and have even been known to play a round or two of Golf! Don't expect anybody else to enjoy them all or think they're cool though if tht helps...

Win 7 64 Home Premium SP1.
i5 750 @2.67GHz (not over clock ... yet)
4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5450 cheapo shite but will do for now.
Corsair H50 water cool ... yes I can.
ASUS P7P55-M mobo.
PSU ... cheapo 500 watt stuff.My system has been very unstable since I built it, massive BSOD if system is not used for more than 12 hr. Tried many things so suspecedt it could be the Power Option problem. Now I just leave it to max power option with no sleep or hibernation. Today is the first time I have a gap of 12 hrs without booting up and it booted up nicely without giving me BSOD so let see ...
Graphic card is a bit shite ... oh well ... still working for now.

I should be astounded by the number of morons coming onto a thread on which they clearly have no interest, taking the time to read it, taking more time to post a derogatory comment, then yet more time to reply and contest their futile argument. I say should because of course this is STW, so even if someone has no interest in a thread, they still feel the need to comment.
Anyway:
Work: some horrible Dell box with a C2D and 4gb RAM on XP3 (soon to be W7). This will allegedly last me the next 3.5 years
Home: First-gen Core2 Quad O/C to 3.2GHz and 8 GB RAM on Vista64.
Lappy: MacBook Air, i7, 4GB, 256GB SSD - this runs LR3 in W7 inside Parallels (only 1 GB RAM given to W7) faster than my desktop does natively!

Bit outdated now but it still runs well. Q6600 processor (still needs overclocking), 4gb ram, 8800GT 512MB graphics card. Mainly Windows 7 but occasionally Snow Leopard if I'm doing video work.
Was considering a SSD for the main drive but probably not worth the money for me.

Not looked through the thread but...
At work I have two of these under my desk.
Dell Precision 7400 with Dual Quad core Xeon CPU's @ 2.26Ghz
64GB of RAM
NVIDA Quadron FX5000 graphics card
1 TB SATA hard-drive
Running windows 7 64-bit.toys19 - I think you might work in the same industry (and possibly even the same company) as me... specs look very simmilar.

My machine is mainly for video editing and viewing STW..
i7 2600K
8gb RAM
Fatal1ty mobo
1Gb Cuda Graphics Card
1x Raptor Drive
3x 2tb Sata Drives
2x 1600x1200 monitors & 32" for video output
Asus Essence STX audio card
A case that sounds like a hurricane when the fans are on max, they are never on max.
Shuttle Premiere Pro keyboard
Griffin PowermateI can easily run 4 720p@60fps files layered with FX in realtime, which is exactly what I wanted when I built it. I had a cheap mobo and footage would stutter, replaced with Fatal1ty and now its smooooth.

I'm more interested in the older machines still proving good service. I have a P4 3.2Ghz 1gb running Ubuntu which is fine for office applications.Snap to the machine spec, though happily running Win7 on mine. Not doing anything but browsing, office, iTunes on it though.
Had thought I'd need to replces it as the primary ATA controller is seemingly dying (not finding the disc & booting), so now running on the 2nd..... & it just keeps going.
Very impressed with Win 7's performance on such an 'old' spec, got an older P4 I may load it on just how low you can goPosted 3 months ago # -

I used to have one like that, but then I found a T60 with a broken screen on ebay and bought that for a few quid. It's used headless so that's no problem for me.
As far as computing power goes, I have about 500 servers, a thousand laptops and about 4000 desktops. ROAR!

While I'll happily admit it goes beyond sad, it keep me happy and is yet another one of those expensive past times I seem so keen to enjoy:
Needa a bit of a tidy up in there and some fancy cables to make it look neater but it performs as it should do. Temps never above 45 degrees and its silent apart from when I turn up the rad fans slightly when gaming/stressing.

On my XBMC machine I've got an AMD X3e CPU and an AMD 4550 GPU. Cheap, totally silent and only 40w at idle. Need to find a horizontal case which looks like an Antec Fusion but has 4 3.5 bays to improve its spouse acceptance factor

I've got a couple of slightly dated OC'd Core 2 Duos. Have just built this for a customer though. Ws 24h prime stable @ 5.2ghz but have backed it of for day to day reliability.
