Im sure robin will be along in a minute to sort that

I have a fairly decently specced PC.
250gb solid state HD for the operating system, 1TB hard drive, 2 x Nvidea graphics cards (768mb each), some posh soundblaster card, 24" Samsung lcd widescreen monitor, Altec lansing 5.1 sound system. Intel core i7 (not sure of speed!). 8gb fast ram. Bluray and DVD dual system.
I'll find exact specs when I'm at home.
Works lovely on Windows 7 64bit.
I have it hooked up through the media player for Iplayer and sky on demand too, so I can rummage through stuff at leisure. :happy2:

Okay, I'm going to try to help keep this thread on topic.
So, this is the desk in my study...
Funky wallpaper aside it looks pretty normal, but there are quite a few computers there, standard stuff first:
Dell Latitude E4300 (Win7) with Docking station on the left, then stacked up next to that is:
Dell Latitude D620 (Win7)
Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet (Win7)
Dell Latitude E4200 (Win7)
Dell Mini 10 (OSX)
On the right is this:
Mac Mini (upgraded with 2.33GHz Core2Duo and 320GB 7,200rpm drive plus external 1TB drive)
and these:
D-Link DNS-323 NAS (2x2TB SATA drives plus external 500GB drive)
Dell Poweredge 840 (Linux)
However the most powerful machine is the one lurking under the desk:
That's a Dell Poweredge T710 (running multiple VMs on VMware ESXi on an internal SD card)
2x Intel Westmere X5670 processors (2.93GHz, 6 cores, 12MB last level cache)
24GB DDR3 RAM (running at 1333Mhz)
4x 146GB 10k SAS drives (RAID 10)
2x 500GB 7k SAS drives (RAID 1)
So, do I win a prize or something? Also, for the record I still think the most interesting thing in my study is the wallpaper
:P
Janner_Sy:
you been trying to hack NASA or something wih that, jesus christ :grin:
cmdrfire:
Wow, mclovin, that's quite the setup you got there. I guess you're using the T710 as a server of some kind? That's definitely a beast of a machine, none of the consumer grade stuff manages to quite touch that. Some (lucky!) guys at work have similarly spec'd workstations that they use for CAD/CFD and stuff.
Out of interest, what's the tablet like? You're the first person I know of to own one.

See! We got some sensible responses! Hurdy's rig is quite nicely spec'd too...
