To not clog up the VRC thread we will start this. Share anything you want about your computer. If you are going to "brag" about your computer you have to have pics to prove it. General forum rules apply to this thread photo-wise and such.

Well I don't know much about computers, but here is the information about mine. It is an HP Pavilion dv1000 2006 Limited Edition.

I have no gaming pictures at this moment so yeah....

Color:
Dark red, slight tint of purple metallic.

VISTA for the lose!
System Properties.

Running a stock refurbished Compaq. I need to upgrade the memory and RAM, but other than that, it's a flawless machine. Sound quality is also pretty boss' on my crappy Sony speakers.

My brother has the same machine, but views his all from an Acer 22" monitor. Talk about flawless quality out of both the monitor and the computer itself. I'm stuck on an old 18" CRT from Sony.

I'll try to get system properties of my father's computer. For a Dell, it's actually pretty nice.

I believe ZX9RBART uses a Mac; not sure which one, however.

I have been looking into an iMac. Great machines, use them daily at school.

GFs computer specifications, running VISTA as well:
VISTA GF Computer. It's alright; unlike my brother's computer it's running an HP 20" monitor with Core 2. No lag on any of her millions of games - like Maxis Sims2, that lags every other computer I have ever played it on.

Whats funny is that we have 4 pc's. 3 laptops and a desktop...3.2 gh on the desktop and 1.6, 1.0 and 1.0 on the laptops and the mac blows them all away on general usage. (the others win on video i guess)

EDIT: this isnt a mac/pc commercial though. Lets get back to what lilski intended this thread for.

-512MB ram
-180GB harddrive
-External operating fan, this thing is a pain cause my comp wont go silent...
-seperate DVD and disc drives.
- it has the top of the line graphics card of that time from NVidea...
