My Junior Rig in Sig is 6 years old at least in terms of cpu & mobo. Still going strong

I had an Athlon XP 2400, 1.25 GB RAM, 80 GB IDE HDD, nvidia 5700LE (eventually replaced w/ an nvidia 6600GT), Gigabyte NF4 board.

Still running strong as an internet PC for my wife's grandparents.

fun thread idea

6 years ago, so roughly 2003...alright

AMD AthlonXP-M 2400+ @ 200x11
Abit AN7
1GB G.Skill FX TCCD
Fortron Source Power 530W
GeForce FX 5900XT 128MB
2x80GB HD
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
and 2 17" CRT monitors

since then only one of the HDs has died

2x Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz overclocked to 3.06Ghz (17x180)
IWill DPI533 (E7505 Chipset w/ ICH4, which was one of the first to support Dual Channel DDR)
2GB PC3200 DDR
ATI Radeon X800XT-PE AGP
2x Fujitsu MAU3036 36GB 15,000rpm SCSI drives on an Adaptec 39160
Audigy2 ZS
Fortron 550watt EPS-12v unit (24+8 pins long before they were available on regular PSU's)

The processors were Prestonia Core Xeons with HT, basically the Xeon equivalent of a Northwood Core P4. Virtual Quad-Core 6 years ago was nice

Actually, I think I added in the X800XT-PE and the Audigy2 ZS around ~2004 or so. When I first put the system together I was using a FireGL X1-128 which was basically a rebranded 9700 Pro and for my soundcard I used a Turtle-Beach Santa Cruz.

My old system:

Monarch Hornet Pro SFF (Hey, they were a good company back then! )
Topower 285W PSU
Athlon 64 3200+
Nvidia Geforce 6800
2GB PC3200
Samsung 16X DVD/RW
WD 250GB 7200RPM
Audigy 2
Dell 2001 20" LCD (1600x1200)
Logitech Elite keyboard
Razer Krait mouse
Klipsch Promedia 2.1
HP D145 multifunction
Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop

Man, that was a long time and a whole lotta money ago... and then I found [H]. My wallet hates me more intensely every time I visit. Some of my fellow [H]'ers probably do, too.

From memory, my rig six years ago was....

P4 Northwood 2.0A
2x512 Kingston PC-2100
Gigabyte GA-8IEXP Motherboard (God I loved that board)
64 Meg Geforce TI-4200 AGP Video
Old beige Enermax Case
300 Watt Antec PSU
120 Gig IBM Deathstar
200 Gig Maxtor
300 Gig Maxtor
Sony DRU500A DVD Burner - Was the very first +/- DVD burner on the market when I bought in 2002. I think I paid $330 for the thing!

I miss Monarch

IIRC:

Athlon 64 3200+
Asus Socket 754 MOBO (can't remember what model anymore)
Lian Li PC626 Case
Enermax 651W PSU
2gb Corsair TwinX PC3200
Nvidia 5900 Ultra (sheesh I said it was from memory)
Pioneer DVD-RW
Plextor 32X CD-RW
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
WD 100gb HD
Iiyama Pro 510 22" CRT (which I am STILL using - suck it, LCD!)
Razor Diamondback
Microsoft Natural Keyboard
Klipsch Pro-Media 2.1
4 YS-Tech 131.5 CFM 120*38mm Screaming fans
Digital Doc 5 Fan Controller

6 years ago? I was still rockin' on my old Dell Dimension XPS R400 back in 2003!

Dell Dimension XPS R400
Intel Celeron 1.4 GHz w/ Powerleap PL-iP3/T Slocket Adapter
Intel SE440BX Motherboard
PC100 768 MB (256 MB x 3)
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2
48X Samsung CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive
2 x WD 5400 RPM 80 GB ATA100 Hard Drives

It was fun extending the life of this 1998-era PC (my first experience in upgrading a PC), but the Radeon 9800 Pro was so badly bottlenecked by the archaic Pentium II subsystem. I still even have the 3DMark 2001 & 05 scores for the dinosaur here:

3DMark 2001 (8352): http://service.futuremark.com/result...3&resultType=6
3DMark 2005 (2652): http://service.futuremark.com/result...&resultType=12

In 2000 I had this machine:

1Ghz AMD Athlon
ATI Radeon 64MB DDR AGP
21" HP P1110 (Sony Trinitron) CRT running at 1600x1200 to 1880x1440
1GB no-name DDR (2x512MB)
VIA chipset based motherboard (hated it even then)
80GB 7200RPM Maxtor HDD

Probably some other crap I don't remember.

Heh,

Pentium 4 2.53GHz Northwood
1GB DDR -> 2GB DDR PC-2700
ECS Mobo (something crummy)
MSI Geforce MX440
40GB HDD
15" Viewsonic LCD (lol @ it being $750 with a $150 rebate check that never came)

Some generic Pentium 3 500MHz computer that I know nothing about.

512 MB ram
60GB HD
32mb video card
dvd drive
cd rw drive (man, those were separate back then)

no idea what the rest was, it was a VPR Matrix, which I think they made (whoever they is) for all of a few months. Actually, the website is still up for some reason. I had: http://www.vprmatrix.com/products_desktop_FT2100.asp but with a samsung 15" lcd monitor

In fact, I only retired it last year after a few upgrades due to wanting more space and realizing the whole hard drive market had gone sata on me. Not sure what to do with the remnants. Still functions. Future server box?
