I have portable USB keyboards.

It doesn't have a built in keyboard ? That is kinda weird. It would be a pain to lug around a .keyboard everywhere. Heh

it has one, but as I said, I got it from my cousin, who gave it to his 3 year olds, so the builtin keyboard does not work.

. . . I can't really imagine what happened there.

the 2.8GHz processor I got doesn't work. apparantly, it is a desktop processor, which uses a socket 478, where my laptop has a 479 socket. They are physically identical, but they have different pinouts. boo!
Also, my cousin gave it to his 3 yar olds, they beat on it, spilled coke, did pretty much every bad thing you could to it. The Harddrive was completely trashed when I got it, the screen is scratched, the back has big gouges in it.

Ah thats to bad, wiht 3 year olds i figured soda had to have been spilled on it at some point.

It is actually a small miracle it is still intact at all.

Nice. You actually have better specs than my all-purpose desktop.

Funny thing is, I never upgrade. Ever. I always recycle my old hardware and mix it with any newer hardware I might salvage from some of the trashed / abandoned PCs people give me. (I do tech support) I think my current desktop is something like:

- 20 year old mid-tower case (woo!)
- Sempron 1.6 GHz processor (relatively new)
- ATI Radeon 128 MB ATI graphics card (relatively new)
- 80 GB HD primary, 30 GB and 20 GB slave (some old, some new)
- some old generic DVD-ROM drive, and an HP CD-Writer Plus (16x max, I think)
- 256 MB DDR RAM (sort of new)

My first computer was a Micron PC Millenia Edition with 64 MB RAM, 4 MB integrated graphics chip, 20 GB HD, 700 MHz Celeron and a generic CD-ROM. I upgraded it to 512 MB RAM, 30 GB HD, 650 MHz P3, (which is actually much faster than a 700 MHz Celeron) threw in an old Voodoo graphics card and a SoundBlaster 16. I gave it to a needy friend who didn't have a PC at the time.

Ah, but I never forgot about it. I wonder how many other people remember their first computer.

well my first computer was that pentium II 350 MHz in 2004, I didn't had a computer before (unless you consider a TI-83+ as a computer)

you case is old O_O

Ha ha ha... My first comp was an ibm x86 with a CGA display, 5.25 in. floppy disk drive, and an Epson dot matrix printer. The operating system was and OLD version of DOS. It was old when we got it but man, I loved that thing.

my desktop specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz
4 x 250GB PATA 7200RPM drives
1 x 300GB SATA 7200RPM drive
1 x 160GB SATA 7200RPM drive
Dual 500W PSUs
200mm fan x 1
80mm fan x 2
120mm fan x 1
nVidia 7900GS 256MB Ram OCed to 600MHz
