Post your beater computers!

[Carl Foxmarten]

At this exact moment, I have three laptops and two desktops.
(this doesn't count my extremely old 286 computer with 1MB of RAM that originally ran Windows 3.1, as it's mostly gone by now)

Laptop 1: A very old DELL laptop. Unfortunately, as I can't find it and don't remember what model it is, I can't find its specs.
At most, it had a Pentium 1 processor.

Laptop 2: A DELL C840. An Intel Pentium 4 processor running at 1.8GHz with about 512MB of RAM, and 40GB of disk space.
Had to stop using it because the screen got alternating red vertical lines on it.

Laptop 3: My current laptop. An old, slightly higher-end Toshiba Satellite M60. Intel Pentium M running at 1.8GHz, 1GB of RAM, and 80GB of disk space.
The screen is starting to get some coloured vertical lines, and I'm suspecting the cable to the LCD panel is at fault.

Desktop 1: A custom 486 with at most 512MB of RAM, and 40GB of disk space.
Given to me by my parents when I started university.

Desktop 2: A custom-built computer I put together myself. Processor is a dual-core AMD running at 2.7GHz, 2GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive split between three OSes (Win7, WinXP, and UbuntuLinux).
This is my primary gaming and development computer, though the graphics card is a little outdated, being AGP and all.

An old Mac 165C

...the first powerbook with a colour screen. And yup, it still works!

Well, I still have a bunch of old computers.. Let me see..  

PowerMac G4 Mirror Drive Door dual 867 Mhz processors with 2 GB RAM, 60 GB IDE HD, and a Geforce4 MX Video card sitting in it's original box with the original keyboard and mouse and power stuffs....

Commodore 128 with c64 mode (my favorite mode) -- Complete with an SFD1001 [http://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/SFD-1001] disk drive and ginormous power brick... It was all I ever wanted to be able to get 'CONNECTed' to Bulletin Board Systems back in the 1990's. In fact, I used to run a BBS using a C64 BBS package called, "Image BBS" .. Yeah.. I thought it was the cats meow at the time. :D

I have a few servers running, but I would say that the most crustiest is my Dell Pentium 4 CPU running at 3.2 GHz, 1GB RAM, and a 500 GB harddrive which backs up to my 1.5 TB NAS appliance... It has been running strong for about 3 years now.

Anyways, I still have a facination with the command prompt so I've been doing alot of exploring in the Linux world.. (mostly Ubuntu linux)

The MDD G4 is an interesting machine. Easily one of the best designs I've seen, and with the right software, they're still a respectable computer for editing DV footage (albeit in standard definition). My high school had a single-processor 867Mhz G4 tower very similar to that with a GeForce 2 and 384Mb of memory. Cut my teeth in Final Cut Pro 3 on that rig.

The Dell sounds interesting too. Very similar to my ThinkCentre M50 slim under my desk. P4 2.8Ghz, 1Gb of memory. Currently blasting along in CrunchBang Linux. If you're into Linux, I'd recommend playing around with it. It's based on Debian, which is the same core that Ubuntu branched off of, and is very command-line centric when it comes to configuration. Very light too. Openbox/Tint2/Conky is the desktop environment stack, with some odd XFCE bits thrown in there.

I'm using it right now! It's a HP Special Edition L2000 laptop. It's LANCE ARMSTRONG branded, I kid you not. 1.6Ghz, 512MB ram, 160GB HDD, and an ATI 200M for graphics. It's kinda meh. Screen's nice, though.

I had a Toshiba 5200/100 laptop with a serial 3 button trackball Logitech mouse and Win 3.1 loaded.
