What kind of computer do you use?- Super Thread

[jbaerboc]

Mine started out as an HP Model and while the outside looks the same all the interior parts have been replaced. MSI MBoard, 3ghz dual-core intel processor, 500 some odd Gigs of HDD, and 8GB ram-stick, oh and Nvidia 9600 GT. Still waiting on the funds to upgrade the HDD to a better speed and the vid card.

O' wow. Another Mac Mini user.
I simply love mine. My specs are in my signature. Only difference is I finally got my kit from OWC and have both my SSD and original 1TB HDD in the system now.

My main computer is an optiplex 745. It's an older computer but with a $10 After rebate hd5450 and a ssd i took from a netbook that i don't really use enough to justify having an ssd in it it's quite decent for what I use it for. Running xubuntu 14.04 and it's great. Have a couple netbooks 1 is used pretty much exclusively as a torrent box/ftp server and one just sits around in case i need windows for some odd reason. I also have a nexus 7 and galaxy s3 if you count those as computers. Overall I have way too much crap and would like to try and minimize it soon

My main computer is an optiplex 745.

I think that is what my main, Ubuntu, desktop is that the family uses.

I have a 250GB hard drive in it now, and 6 GB of RAM but am considering getting a larger hard drive (1 TB?), dual-booting it with Windows and installing a better video card for games (only reason for the Windows).

I mainly use a Dell Latitude not sure which one it is though. I run dual boot between Windows 7 64 bit and Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit. Lately I've been having to use CentOS at work a good bit though. It's definitely interesting. I love how Ubuntu puts users in the Sudoers file by default. Definitely something I like. Lol
