What does your computer setup look like?

In reality, two years isn't that far back when it comes to computer tech. The average lifespan of a good desktop/laptop should last you like 2-6 years.

 

Computer technology doubles in speed, efficiency, and size (storage size) every 2 years. you may be able to keep a computer that long, but it will become a fish tank later on :3

 

I was referring to how apple makes their previous generations obsolete so you need to keep buying thei 'new and improved' products.

 

my moms 2008 MCB runs pretty damn good ._.

 

Yeah 0.5 inches more on your screen is so worth the 200 bucks, and then you gotta re-download all your apps and suffer through another cringe-worthy session on iTunes.

Apple is the future of reasonable companies.

 

Installing windows 8 on my new computer ^_^ I named irt Whiskers I am so proud that I just built a device that is 100x more powerful than a spaceship back in the late 60s to the moon I have to say I really like Windows 8! feels smooth with my AMD A10 5800K Black edition 3.8ghz over clock to 4.2!(AKA a beast)...

Should have pictures up soon <_>

 

cano, why did u get an APU if u have a GPU in your build? seems pointless. also, win8 blows

 

W

Because I can use the GPU instead of the APU stuff. Also I absolutely love windows 8 way more than 7.

 

Apple does not directly run itunes. Every "fan boy" absolutely hates itunes. It is basically a separate company that is a piece of crap. I had to reset my password 11 times in the last month :\

 

dude, get a fx 8350 instead of an APU, its MUCH more powerful if ur also buying a GPU. and win8 is horrible for gaming and the metro looks like shit

 

I like the metro. Also I ran some bench marks with windows 8, it is pretty good at gaming. I get very nice FPS. Also, windows 8.1 comes out soon which has added benefits and even more performance. Still not sure on a GPU. Right now I am kinda debating on GPUs. I get super high FPS on Minecraft maxed out with no mods and with the 1.6 launcher.

 

My setup right now (in the process of moving stuff to the new house)

 

I feel bad for your back D:

 

It's a hard life, haha. My knees are going above the keyboard.

 

On another topic, is your computer custom built? Specs?

 

Nope, not custom built. I got it almost 2 years ago now, so I didn't want to go through the hassle/trial and error of building it, which I regret every day of my life.

Intel i7 960 3.2GHz
16GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 64bit
NVIDIA GeForce GT 545

 

I will be posting pictures of my new setup very soon. For now, all I can give you is specs:
AMD A10 5800K Black Edition at 4.6 GHz
16GB DDR3 Vengance RAM
Windows 8 64 bit & Ubuntu Linux
Samsung 120GB SSD
Western Digital 1 TB of HDD
NZXT full tower case (white).
MSI Motherboard.
430watt power supply (corsair).

EDIT: I decided to add in some game FPS's.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 maxed out: 45FPS
Battlefield 3, 960p, medium settings: 45FPS
Minecraft /w optifine, far render, fancy graphics: 160FPS

Here be the pictures. I got my MacBook Pro, my Mac buster 1.0 and my 4:3 monitor. Don't forget my globe D:

 

You rich people make me sad

 

I'm planning a build atm

 

That's a $2,350 desk right there
