Assimilate this!

  • 3.0 GHz CPU
  • 2 GB RAM (upgradeable to 4 GB)
  • 80 GB HDD
  • 19 inch monitor
  • DVD-ROM, CD-RW
  • Wireless Network Card
  • Norton SystemWorks 2005

$1,600.00 (USA).

With free, timeless-honored tools, I have a personal development box that burns chrome. Now I have to see what I'm going to do with it...

Install Firefox and TB i think.

Please post your FF Build times so we can all sit in awe!

(From Alex: Actually, I don't plan on building Mozilla Firefox. I use it, yes, but I actually like the Mozilla Application Suite more.

I'm not actually planning on posting any builds.)

More space on HDD would be nice.

(From Alex: Maybe later. I'm thinking my next upgrade to this brand-new box will probably be to the RAM, to take it to the full 4 GB. That way, I could do my builds on a RAM disk.

Either that, or adding in things like speakers, maybe some audio mixing software so I can create my own music.)

"2 GB RAM (upgradeable to 4 GB)"

That sounds like a 64-bit CPU ^_^. And Linux :).

Wow, I had no idea the dollar was that weak.

(From Alex: It might not be that. I don't know where the components came from, but I had it custom built for me. None of the extras I didn't need for doing dev work, aside from Windows XP Professional. It might just be Moore's Law at work.)

SATA RAID 0

It'll feel like you are using a RAM drive.

Well this is a slow machine, sorry man.
I'm running a 3.2 GHz and 2 GIGs of RAM.
And 240 GB hard disk space and will add another 160 GB.
So the final Quota would be 400 GIGs.
