No way. First I gotta make a phone call and I want to run a bench mark first so I can compaire the change.

THEN The G5s case comes off.

After that I'll play a few hours of World of Warcraft checking for actual real world performance boost.

Newest - 200GB WD - November 2004

Oldest - Liteon 8X CD-R/RW Drive - ?

[rallynavvie]

Newest: 2x 3.2 E-0 Nocona Xeons which were in my computer for only a week before I got sick of them and put in the old 3.06 Prestonias. That was about a month ago. They'll go back in if an OS suddenly comes out that utilizes EMT64, or perhaps I'll just build another machine for them

Oldest: Probably my 5-year old GeForce4 4400 that's still in my 4-year old Tyan 2460 and both going strong. Though if it's the oldest part of my newest workstation it would be the trusty old 200GB WD IDE drive from about 3 years ago. All I know is I bought it OEM from Dell for something like $300 then and it has been in my primary machine as a temporary storage drive ever since.

Case? What case? I have a bunch of stuff strung together by their cables in a cardboard box.
Oldest is the floppy, which is hanging off the back of the desk right now, unused for at least 5 years.
Newest is my Hauppauge PVR-250.

My old roommate had his entire computer on a end table and hooked up via TV out because he had no monitor. Man was I glad when he got a case and monitor.
