Default Badass New Computer Pics soon

Ok so i made this computer, i dont mean to brag but holy shit its the shit it has a pent 4 processor 512 mb ram and a Nvidia Geforce 5200 FX. All of that power in an old IBM NetVista computer shell and IBM Motherboard. The best part is the custom case mods i had to cut a hole for the vid card to fit into the case.

Tell me what you think Totse

Yeah 512 ram isn't Badass. It's just above obsolete.

Um, I wouldn't brag if I were you. Put a paper bag over its head if you go out in public with it.

Seriously, that's a pretty slow machine by today's standards. The FX5200 is an ancient card, and 512mb is really the minimum amount of RAM you should be running.

I just had another look at the motherboard (I have 2 of them, bitch.) It has pci-e, and I just happen to have enough money from my birthday to up it to 2 gig of ram and slap a 512mb 8600 all up in that bitch, yeah.

this.

What kind of dumpster did you find that shit in? I love finding old junk like that and salvaging it. I'm guessing you got it out of a dumpster near an office building or something?

I have a 2.4ghz P4 rig made from bits found in domestic dumpsters outside people's houses. (skips in the UK...)

Board came from a machine with a blown power supply, processor and heatsink pulled from a computer full of water and case from an elderly PIII, gutted.
