Cool Systems you've owned up to now... Are you Mac, PC, or Linux?

Curious about this.... I've been lucky enough to use/own quite a few computers over the years. The Amiga spanned quite a large chunk of my childhood until its demise, but there have been a few extras back in the day.

Here's my "computer-line":
  1. ZX Spectrum
  2. Commodore C64
  3. Amiga A500
  4. Nintendo Gameboy Classic (still on my desk and used from time to time)
  5. Amiga A1500
  6. PC Intel Pentium Processor
  7. PC Intel Celeron 300
  8. PC Intel 1.4ghz (I think!)
  9. PC Quad Core (now own 4 of these in varying speeds).

So looks like I've opted for PC. Can imagine there's gonna be long lists

i'm all 3. They are all capable of failing in various different departments. I prefer OSX for "day to day" usage however.



ZX-Spectrum 48k (not really mine though)
ZX-Spectrum +2 128k
Amiga 500
CD32 + SX-1
Nindendo Gameboy (Original)
Amiga 1200 - was upgraded to 030 then downgraded back
Amiga 1200T 030 (a different machine)
PS1
PC with Windoze (dont ask me what spec)
PS2
PC with Windoze XP - 1ghz Intel
Macbook 2.2ghz Dualcore
PSP
Nintedo DS Lite
PS3 (with Linux installed)


At some point after the second PC i put the Amiga's 030 back in the normal case a1200

I havent listed where i've had the same machine with lower (or same) spec twice, or where i've picked up "spares" from unwanting owners.

Sold many of these; probably missed something out. Ones I still own are in BOLD

Main computer progression
  • Vic-20 (GORF and Jelly Monsters - true classics!)
  • Spectrum 128k (briefly)
  • Spectrum +2
  • Atari ST Actually, really enjoyed my ST as friends had 8-bits. Loved Time Bandits!
  • Amiga 500 Batman pack
  • Amiga 500+ (worst decision ever, prefered the A500)
  • Amiga 1200HD
  • AMD 586 P75 overclocked to 166Mhz
  • AMD K6-III 400Mhz
  • AMD Duron 800 overclocked to 1Ghz
  • AMD Athlon XP 1500+
  • AMD Athlon XP Mobile overclocked to 2.4Ghz
  • AMD Athlon 64 3200+ overclocked to 2.5Ghz
  • INTEL Core2 Quad, nVidia 9800GTX+

Console Progression
  • Megadrive
  • Atari Lynx
  • SNES
  • Playstation
  • X-Box Modded
  • PSP (sold, not impressed with the crappy D-Pad)
  • PS3 FAT (none of this THIN shite)

Other computers (hobby machines):
  • Retro-PC console - Aopen nforce2 SFF with mobile Athlon XP, joypads, arcade sticks etc.
  • Retro-PC gaming console - Biostar ideq nforce3 250GB SFF with Athlon64, x800 pro - used for playing older 3D games in XP 32bit and network games with friends. Also runs Linux from time to time.
  • Media "whisper quiet energy star server" PC type thingy - Low power 45nm core2 duo (E7200) with antec earthwatts PSU 380W and silent fan modded x800 XT PE used for media and surfing the web. Pulls less than half the power of my main computer! Also, I play one-on-one network games on this against my friends from time to time (Quake III, UT99, UT2003, all sorts really!) when used with the Biostar SFF listed above.

No laptops. I hate laptops. May get a cheap netbook to surf and message whilst watching TV or something.

Owners Progression thus:

BBC Micro - 5.25" Disk, tape recorder added later
Acorn A3010.

Gateway 2000 P5-90 8mb, 1Gig HDD 2meg graphics... which got several toys added
Ended up with 48MB Ram and 8.4 GB HD running a 200MMX Overdrive and an Orchid Righteous 4MB 3DFX PCI graphics card..... Was a reasonable Win 95/98 machine.

Viglen (Ugh) Genie II, 4MB ATI Rage IIc graphics, 64MB RAM NT 4 (uni Build so didn't have a choice)
Didn't do much with this one apart from a Zip 250 and then a CDRW drive.... upgraded with a 128MB RAM chip for total of 192 MB.

Viglen P4 1.8GHz PC 512MB Ram 20 Gig disk. Another Uni machine that I was given to use for my masters.In accordance with Hungry Horace's Signature, this was my "Putain de Salopard" machine which convinced me to build my own....

1st Home build

3.0GHz P4 80Gig HD 1024MB ram ATI 9800 Pro graphics (with an XT bios woo)

Home build1.5

3.4 GHz P4, Nicer motherboard, WD raptors in Raid 0, Ati X800XTPE DVDROM/DVD-RW

Current Beastie:

Ah fed up doing this loll..lol.ol.ol.

Other of note:

Atari Lynx II (got recently lol)
Spectrum 48k (borrowed)
Acorn Electron (borrowed)
BBC Master (School)
Acorn Archimedes A310 (School)
BBC A3000 (School)
