Thats not a rat pc

a rat pc is a mother load Pentium 3.8 Ghz based system with 1.5 Gb of ram, 160 Gb hard disk and a Hugh Jass graphics card crammed into the case of an amstrad or an old 186 running the original monitor :P

Schmoburger · 29 May 2006, 11:00 pm

*runs out to shed to start building the Jason-PC* 😂

I did something like that to an old mac hehe... put a 225mhz Powermac mobo in a Performa 580 that was originally 33mhz hehe 😀

ah, they both suck. if any other industry produced products with half the amount of faults computers do, they'd have been sued out of existence years ago.

but we've all been sucked in anyway. I ordered a new laptop the other day myself. oh, we're all just techno-sheep...baaaahhhh baaaahhhh. Cook me up with rosemary and mint sauce! 😂

P.s. Trust me when I tell you Steve is NOT God. I know god personally. Steve is another guy altogether. 😉

i once had a computer....that was only parts shoved into my desk draw...that was only for testing purposes also though.

Schmoburger · 30 May 2006, 8:04 pm

yep...I just left mine in the cardboard box because I was too lazy to put em in a case properly and cardboard is as good an insulator as anything! :P 😂

Beerboy · 31 May 2006, 1:41 pm

where did you get the mini from? I have wanted one of those for a while?

reminds me of the pizza box one

sinecure · 31 May 2006, 7:57 pm

I put a complete gaming rig (including an xp3500, 2 gig RAM, 250gig 7200rpm drive and an X800 on an extension cabled AGP slot mounted perpendicular to the board) into one of those aluminium briefcases for a guy at work, just had the required ports exposed with a flip up cover on the side. even fit the keyboard and mouse in the case. He wanted it for LAN gaming and just took his LCD and the briefcase, plus a couple of power leads. We called it a full power portable.

crewcabconnection · 31 May 2006, 9:09 pm

I think The Rev Pete Wood can confirm this ...

God invented PCs to keep dropkicks off Macs. But then if it wasn't for Steve, then Bill would not have a clue what to do next. Vista....pppfffff.

While it's true that Mac is 3% of the market, 90% of the worlds creative product is produced from a Mac.

How did this end up a Mac debate ... It was a mini-itx post?

I like the PC built into a radio controlled sized new beetle. There were some pics of it floating around a while ago. The front bumper popped out to reveal the CD drive

bajachris88 · 1 Jun 2006, 3:06 pm

I had to play with macs during art last yr and the yr before.

TOOK AGES to get the hang off. especially after loosing the concept of a 'right click'.

I still don't get it fully.

I'm happy with PC:kiss

kustomkool · 1 Jun 2006, 3:08 pm

COME ONNNNN. if this is a complete gaming rig why did you use an X800 on AGP...we all know its all about PCI-E these days on a nice 7600gt or something 🙂

I built that machine nearly 18 months ago, the x800XT cost $950 alone! Everything was top spec for the time.

And PCI-E? Only gives an improvement on properly designed mainboards that have the power routed correctly. Think Gigabyte, MSI or ASUS. Back on revision 1 PCI-E/X boards, with same config of CPU/RAM, the PCIs were slower and more power hungry than the AGP for similar GPU/memory clock speeds.

Great to see such informative debate ... something for the young dubbers to aspire to.
