While I was living in a hospital with my mom,

my dad bought me a Dell Vostro, with Intel Core 2 Duo.

I love it;

it loves me.

It cost him LESS than $450, but that was about 1 1/2 years ago...

Maybe 2 1/3.

I can't have to think about it, right now,

but this computer RULEZ!!!

p.s. It's a laptop.

Well, there was the new motherboard...

And the hard drive....

And the processors...

The monitor...

The video card...

USB ports...

Windows7....

Office 2007...

Oh hell, pretty much all of it. But it makes one hell of a keyboard.

I built my computer myself with components I bought.
It did cost me about (current exchange rate) 470 Euros a year ago.

I do not play games and don't do intensive multimedia editing, so a double-core is enough for me. I also have no PCI graphics card, I have on-board graphics chip.
I wanted to have a low-energy, energy-efficient and very very silent Computer.
That is what I have now.

As operating system I run Linux with GNOME and XFCE sessions. Most time I run XFCE. It's very responsive.

When I'm on travel, I have a Notebook. On it also runs Linux. with XFCE window manager.

My CPU is double-core 2.5 GHz.
But most times I limit them to 1 GHz.
You can do this with packages like cpudyn in Debian.

DVD-Rom... I plug the cables out coming from the Motherboard. DVD-Rom makes unnecessary noise and consumes unnecessary electricity.
I also don't need it.

There is also Parted Magic, it's a very small Linux which you can boot from USB-Flash and after that it is loaded into RAM of PC. So you can plug-out the USB-Flash again. This way your HDD does not consume much energy, because nothing is read or written onto the HDD.
I use this mostly as a rescue-system, because you can mount every HDD (Windows/Linux format) into the operating system which runs in RAM and if you chroot the HDD you can also open a shell to the Operating system which is installed on that HDD. So, for example you can update or remove packages through the Shell, which caused the original operating system on the HDD to crash.
