Not my Turning Point gaming rig

First off, this is my second time doing this as my computer was unplugged whilst taking photos and I lost my pre-post.

With that being said, I'd like to point out that I don't like posting things or blogging... but I do like telling stories... and with that in mind... I realize they are about the same thing... and there's a computer involved... so... here's my awesome computer setup. Oh, and my digi has a broken screen so sorry for the crappy photos.



First, the overall of my "not rig." I'd like to point out my lovely keyboard complete with black ink stains from my wonderful step brother. Also, you'll notice a blue paperclip unfolded on top of the keyboard. That is the tool I use to open my CD drive since the motor stopped working. Next you can see my speakers which clearly don't match. The original tiny speakers stopped working properly and then one day my nephew pulled the On/Off switch clear off the poor little thing... So in came some speakers from my school. Last (since my monitor is pretty decent minus the sticker that randomly appeared) is my mouse which is a good ole Dell "ball" mouse complete with cord and mousepad (Also taken from school). My lovely girlfriend bought me a laser mouse (featured in another image) but it broke about 2 weeks ago so I had to dig out the original.



There she is... in all of her Dell beauty... I received her as a gift from my blonde sister who decided to surprise me one Christmas. Unfortunate for her, the sales representative took advantage of her computer knowledge (or lack of) and threw in so much bullshit that it ended up costing her more than she could ever pay off (she filed bankruptcy) I don't know much about what's inside but if you care to see:



Wow, the dust. I used half a can of air on this beast and it still looks like shit. Notice the lack of power supply though... stupid me... That's about it though... its big, old, dusty, and my little baby. If you care to know the specs, I'll see what I can find out....

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU - 2.8 GHz
Memory: 511MB of Rambus Ram (Which I can't buy due to availability and price)
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium - 32 Bit
Dell 8250 Machine
Dell Keyboard and Mouse
"Multi-Media Speaker System"
17" UltraSharp Dell Monitor

Extra Tidbits: (The Rant Section) I'd like to point out that my 511MB of RAM gets me NO WHERE especially with Vista installed. Since the upgrade, I can no longer play my Counter Strike: Source, SimCity 4, Warcraft III, Halo 2, or any other good game to recently come out *cough*Portal*cough* When I purchased Vista, I also purchased more RAM knowing I needed more but not realizing what type I needed so before you ask "why the hell would you put Vista on that" and also, I got Vista to play Halo 2 on my PC but that as mentioned above, failed miserably...

Any other questions, comment or email me: Leonheart515@yahoo.com
Thanks for checking out my Not Turning Point Rig ^_^
