shygye Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 My desktop PC, Bangkok, had a seizure and passed quietly this morning. That acrid smell of burnt electronics sealed its fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 It's time to do an autopsy on it and recycle usable body parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Maybe you should take the next PC short time - like 3 years that is. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 It was a good one though. Those Pentium 1's were built to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Bangkok was based on a Athlon XP 1800 with 512MB DDR RAM and Maxtor 250GB disk running Windows XP Pro. Will I be able to get a replacement that is anywhere near as fast or pimped out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eee Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Farewell to my 9 year old Dell desktop as well. In the past I've upgraded it with more memory,Drives,card but it was no match for a vicious virus by a software seller. An antivirus software company demanding for me to purchase it or else never get to use my PC again! I've tried everything but couldn't find the original windows XP software that came with. That could have saved my machine by reinstalling it but in the end I was too tired to fiddle with the machine. Now I got myself a laptop with 500 gigs HDD with 4gigs ddr3 memory,blue ray player,back lit HD 17.3 inch screen. So much better than my old machine. My first Toshiba in 1999 cost closed to 2 thousand us dollar with 4.3 gigs HDD. My Dell desk top with pentium 4 with 30 gigs hdd cost 600 dollars. Yes indeed the price of PC has come down a bit. chok dii heythere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Rule number one - As soon as you buy a new PC, a better model will come out the next day and for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shygye Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Well, I have ordered some computer parts to put together a new system. Coming up with a plan that balances price, power efficiency, noise, and performance was tough. The most difficult question is what will be its name.
