Well, my old computer was lagging and 8+ years old, so, last night, I was presented with a new HP Pavilion. Very fast, slim, and just all-around awesome. This topic is to discuss your computer, I guess. Hardware specs, what you like/don't like about it, etc. Have fun.

Ivy Bridge isn't expected until third quarter.

Comp I'm using right now sucks ***, but I'm currently getting the parts assembled for a new computer.

16GB RAM
2TB HDD
i7 2600K overclocked to 5.0GHz
Radeon HD6950
Watercooling
Some other not particularly needed information goes here.

I expect excellent performance. I plan on created an 8GB RAM drive for even better performance.

My computer is pretty terrible and I don't know how old. But I'm gonna go with pretty old. the specs that i can figure out are:

Brand:Toshiba
At least 4GB of RAM
Graphics Thingy: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M
100 GB HDD
Two Genuine Intel CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz each

The computer's Memory is also partitioned and I am dual booting with Fedora (Linux like OS) And XP until I can get Fedora to have everything and more than XP.

My computer rarely Lags though, and can play most games despite it's age.

And it's also a Laptop just so you're wondering.

I know the most expensive one is best but which would you say is best for money or what you would get

I've seen a couple of sources saying it's coming out in April.

Actually can you guys give me your opinions on these 3 cases


My brother has the first one, I don't like it just because it feels really cheap and unstable, I don't know anything about it's actual efficiency though.

HP Pavilion. Very fast, slim


That doesn't happen to be a HP Pavilion Slimline does it?

My PC:

Make: HP
Model: Pavilion Slimline S5110t
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core
HDD (Hard disc drive): 500GB
RAM: 3GB
Retail: $469

I am very happy with the performance of my computer, it generally runs pretty fast, it can handle games that require an aftermarket graphics card (that is a miracle in itself... Its a media computer... more for listening to music then for gaming).

The only complaint I have with it, is that it's almost impossible to find a graphics card to install into it, and it has horrible cooling properties (in other words, the internal temperature in the case can get up to 120 degrees).

I don't know much about my PC, except that it's custom-made. Which I think is pretty cool. I got it in September because my old custom-made PC was starting to get...well...old.

I'm also quite fond of my 22" Samsung monitor. It makes browsing the internet easier on my slight farsightedness if I set it on the highest possible resolution (plus it makes my screen look even bigger).
