That laptop is all mine, but in our household we also have 2 desktops with a 1.4 Ghz P4(Dell Demension 4300) and a 2 Ghz P4(Compaq something). My brother also has a Compaq EvoSomething..but that is his personal laptop same as the inspiron is mine. I use the laptop at all times... :yikes:

Wow... not a bad deal for only $1100. Where did you find it?

I got it at Best Buy. They had free shipping on all custom computers and because I bought a printer with the system, I got about 300 in mail in rebates. Then I joined the rewards program there and I will have an additional $50 gift certificate comming.
I was very pleased with this find.

I am running two servers for gaming (wont go into those, thats a whole nother story) and one personal server for myself my computer is a 2.5 overclocked my laptiop is a 1.8 and my new computer is gonna be soo nice i am building it from server grade parts getting ready for HALO for pc september 17,2003

HALO for PC won't be all that special. It's not even DX9. Now, Half-Life 2... that'll be something special.

I just built this computer in my room and its not that great but it does the job... Built it for only $400 bucks... It's got

Intel Pentium 3 833Mhz
256 MB ram
40 gig harddrive
64mb ATI ALL-IN-WONDER VE PCI slot graphics card
52X24X52 CD Burner
Cable(of coarse)
DVD Rom
Coming soon- DVD burner, 21" flat screen monitor, wireless mouse and keyboard...
forget what I got for a motherboard...

It's not bad... I mean it's a PCI slot interface so it's not the greatest to play games... If anyone does decide to build there own comp. put a little more money into it and make it an APG slot interface...

I've upgraded my PC as of late.

400 Mhz P3
512 MB RAM
79 Gb HD's (split between a 4 (master) and a 75 (slave))
Creative 4.1 Surround Sound
Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 sound card
<52X DigitalArts CD-RW Drive
Comcast Cable Internet via Ethernet cable connection

I'm hoping to be able to find a faster motherboard/processor before I'm finished high school.

Its a AGP card :)

Yes but the slot interface has to be APG... You can't just throw an APG card in there

instead of telling all the heartwarming capabilities of my comp, all i can say speed wise is that i'm wooed, smitten, and in bliss,
i went from PC Athalon less then 200Mhz (ok prob. lying there) to notebook p4 2.66Ghz
