What is your computers timeline? + themesong

Supertoaster:
When I was around 7-10 I used this http://auctions.overstock.com/Compaq-5000-Series/Computers-Networking/item/45888465

It ran Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe, Sim City 3000, and (with lots of lag) Sim City 4. It broke (I was still to young to understand computers) then we got Spoiler (click to show/hide) which lasted me 7 years. It originally had very poor intergrated which I got fixed with some gpu (I still don't know what GPU i had installed, but I only had it installed so I could run Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, then I got The Sims 2 and had a 6500gt installed, and then the fan on it failed so I replaced it with a 6800XT (WHICH IS AN EVIL MOTHERFUCKER) I could have saved it but I broke something trying to take out it's video card (GeForce 6800xt which was upgraded from a 6500gt that had its fan fail). And then that lead to Spoiler (click to show/hide) which has been the best computer I've ever owned and hope it lasts as long as my second one.

And if your computer had a themesong what would it be?

Trololo Sing Along!

Why trololo? Because my computer has scared me many times and I thought I broke something but then it magically fixes itself while I'm in the middle of sobbing. So my computer is a troll.

Goat:
I startedwith a super shitty Gateway that had a 1.1Ghz processor and a 256kb RAM stick, this was all when I was like 10, for my birthday that year I got upgraded to a new graphics card and 1GB of RAM,  I was able to run the Dawn of War series on that, iv'e had that computer since August of 2010, now I bought my own Dell Inspiron Labtop and a custom desktop with a Quad Core processor and everything I need to play Crysis on all high settings.

theme song?

Music using ONLY sounds from Windows XP and 98!

cogsandspigots:
My first computer ran FUCKING WINDOWS 98.
I don't remember much about it, except that it was painfully slow.

Then, my second one.

(not that exact one, but a similar model)
I got a discount eMachines with a terrible GPU, geforce 4
Then I upgraded it with 1 GB ram and a Geforce 6400.
I knew I needed a new computer for quite a while as my old one could only run Half-life 2 at mid-low settings.
Then, I got a trojan, somehow.
This is my computer's song at that point.
Sonic 1 Music: Drowning



Finally, my newest one.
I built it, and I'm too lazy to take a photo so no pic for you.
3 GB ram, geforce 9600, and plenty of potential upgrading.
It's song:
How it's Made - Full theme song

·UηİŦ··:
Ahhh dicks. Well. I just got this one. It wouldn't be much of a story.

Spoiler (click to show/hide) :trollface: Besides, the other two are boring and FAAARRRR to long. Well, the first one's story is simple. I'm 5. And I'm lrn2computerREALLYFAST. And this is a Dell from like 1999 or something. Then somehow while using MsPaint I break the CRT monitor by pressing a combination of buttons. God knows how.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)Second one? Also a Dell. It was a fairly decent one. Ran everything from Black and White to almost every Maxis Game ever since 1997, that includes that one Sim game where you were driving Cars and gadgets and shit. Best game ever. Then I met the internet in it's full glory (oh god) in 2002. I did everything I know now and ever knew now since then, including Gmod. And Spore. It's also where I developed a taste for God Games and Modding. Making Videos, Torrent-ing things. The works. Of course it will have taken time for me to mature the fuck out. But it was a Looooong time. Loooong time. SOME, if not all, good times. Also used XP forever. I only used 98 and 95 for a FRACTION of the time I used Xp for. Towards the end (Last September until Last March), it got wiped so many times because what we thought was a virus was really the Hard Drive being a fail, and dying on us, until one day (april) where I go to boot the damn thing it stalls at a black screen :>

RIP 2000-2011
Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

Spoiler (click to show/hide)I got stuck with a shitty Intel Celeron temporarily between April and July, that had it's drivers last updated in August 7th 2001. And it was made in '97. And the Internet Card was slightly damaged, or just simply downloaded at like 40kb/s.

DIIICKS THAT WAS SLOW. Ugh.
I bought this fancy new one with the money I got in exchange for selling little bits of my soul, I installed some shit for one day, then I installed a NVIDIA GEforce 8600GT from the dieded computer that had been with me since forever, I installed two DiskDrives, I added an extra 2 slawts of RAM from the dead one, thus giving the computer the combined force of 16gb of RAM. I also fucked around wif dat internet card until it was working. I'll be honest, Windows 7 for me at first was like someone from 1959 playing with an Iphone. Plus all the features (Nid administrate at all times, not "Oh do you want to..." every fucking time) I had to disable/enable were tedious.

specs thus den wer:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)Big, blue CPU chip with quantities of Lead inside, Quad-Core thingamajig with a fuckload of RAM and Graphicks. I can't really tell what else I put in there right now because I'm lazy. But it was stuff that you put in there. And all the other stuff I mentioned. Like 3 BLUE INTAKE LED FANS OH GOD TOO MUCH BLUE. I shit you not if I turn off the lights, even the stock LEDs that came with it illuminate the room. It's almost annoying to wake up and see blue everywhere. I had no forethought when buying those fans, I was just like NID FANS NID FANS.

This is also the first time I've had a Hard Drive with TB storage capacity. Hell yeah. I've been stuck with 125gb since 2000andwhat, FINALLY I can bend things with my creativity and not be limited.

Like lose sleep and mod Fallout 3 using Fancy Modders Resources from coolbros and myself, and scripts and codes and god knows what else I can't even remember. I'm so tired.
I messed around with Windows 7 still because I was a newfag to this (Been using XP for, what, ever?), then I started installing things, then I noticed that it was really hot.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)"Hey, it's actually really really hot in here now..."

"Ugh... Hot."

"WHY IS IT SO HOT."

"EEUDDGGGUUUH I'M MELTING."
It took about 3-4 weeks to realize that the problem was not the fans (derpaderp) but the internal Power Supply. It's literally venting hot air. Like... HOT AIR. "I CAN COOK EGGS ON MY TOWER" HOT AIR. But yeah, now that I know/knew about it, I can later replace it and stop opening my window when it becomes 17F outside and feel like it's room temperature.

INTERIOR APPLE PIE NON-SEQUITUR, I GOT A HIGH-TECH, BLU-RAY HEATER.

But that's not the themesong. Though it would fit nicely. Like an Apple-Pie Disk Drive.
