Post Super fun computer part thread
This is the monitor I plan to get

Well, similar to that. I find Samsung are alright... Atleast I like their cellphones. I wanted one with a higher resolution, but I decided to choose one that is a large enough upgrade than what I'm used to... (which right now is either my pentium 4's fuzzy 15" CRT display or my netbooks cramped 10" LCD)

Looked at the bench mark score of these things, the CPU in the netbook is more powerful than the pentium 4 2.0ghz... I thought that was hillarious considering how much bad press netbook CPU's got since people expect way too much from the puny CPU's.... it's a upgrade compared to the dinosore computers I'm used to..

Whammy, Post your ideas for a wishlist for computer parts, and everyone post your setup... as I'm aware all of you have super fast computers since most of you are gamers...

Here are the specs of my computers:

Dell Optiplex gx260
Pentium 4 2.0 ghz 512 kb cach 133mhz FSB
1 gb DDR memory
20 gb IDE hard drive
CD-RW IDE
32 mb radeon 7500 AGP card
intergrated sound
Windows XP proffesional
Main use: Web design, old video games

Acer Aspire one d255
atom n455 1.66ghz 512 kb cache 166mhz FSB
1 gb DDR2 memory
250 GB sata drive
3 cell li-ion battery
Main use: Web design, old video games
Windows XP proffesional

Netbooks get flak for having crappy overall specs. They can shine in certain areas.

Anyway, used to have an Aspire one, I usually play low tech stuff like Uplink(So fucking good). I only turn on my mega comp for High quality games, as it has a graphics card, but it's specs suck in everything else leading to bad browsing. Now I play on a low tech aspire, that can play some 3D but is prone to overheating.

Looking at your setup you probably spend most of your time on work with your PC, and more time is spent on your netbook. You might want to invest in a bigger hard drive and pirate photoshop to get some CSS design in on your PC. You can always upgrade it after all.

One thing I like about my netbook is it's very portable, it has decent battery life... (atleast in my opinion)

Sometimes it's nice for showing people stuff without having to get them to go to the room with the computer, just bring in the netbook and point to the screen sort of like a digital pad of paper.... It's also cheap, so if i ever did want to use my netbook for what it's ment for, if it gets stolen, or broken if i ever want another one it's not hard to replace. Though the only reason i have one is because it was a gift... otherwise i stick to my desktop machine much of the time.

Some modern laptops and old ones have touch screens. Thinkpads tend to have them I think.

I like thinkpads, they are nice laptops... i had a 486 thinkpad years ago.... though it was much too slow, even in 2000.
