Makaveli Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Ok, now that Christmas is rolling up, I'm thinking about what I need. I am (most likely) going to CU in the Fall of 07 and I was thinking about if I'm going to bring my computer or not. I don't really want to feel nerdy when girls come to my room and see my computer on the desk and all lit up. So I think I want to make a "sleeper" computer. One is quiet that I can leave on 24/7, download a lot, have a ton of movies on it etc. So lots of storage is a must. In college, I'm not sure what games will be hot, but I assume that I'll still want to play loads of CS:S. Also, playing FEAR and BF2 might be a possibility. So let's build me a rig? lol Budget is rather low I'm assuming. Let's just make it not that expensive, just what you think the minimum should be. I'll tell you if I think that's too expensive etc. Case: Desktop ATX, no window, extremely quiet, well cooled. Motherboard: ? Processor: Maybe X2 4400 RAM: 2GB probably HDD: LOTS of space Powersupply: ? Monitor: 17" emachines CRT (POS, but I don't need a good monitor) Video Card: ? Keyboard: ? Mouse: Probably MX518 CD/DVD Burner: ? Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kash Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Gotdamojo, you can't download at ALL in college?? That's nonsense, I've downloaded dozens of gigs worth of stuff in a single night. I absolutely love the insane speeds I got with the University network. How I miss dorming... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verran Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 That's nonsense, I've downloaded dozens of gigs worth of stuff in a single night. I absolutely love the insane speeds I got with the University network. How I miss dorming... Dorm downloading was glorious, at least back in '99. I don't know how much they do now for blocking p2p ports and such. May depend on the specific network. Regardless, I think you'll find the speeds to your liking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
