An Eclectic World
Off-Site Goodies
I currently work on three computers on a regular basis - I have two personal systems at home (desktop and laptop), and a laptop at work. The work laptop is also my "desktop" and when docked gives me yummy dual monitor display. However, since it is a work system, and I do not take it home, I'm only listing my actual systems here.
Big Blue, formerly known as, The Centre
This is my self-built system in its big, blue tower of awesomeness. I've been running on self-built systems for a long time, but this current darling was first came online in October 2005 after I fell in love with the ThermalTake Xaser case. I popped in some case lights, nifty glowing cords, and all, for the extra prettiness. I got the matching keyboard early the next year (a little harder to come by). In September 06, I replaced some of the hard drives upping her storage. She ran well for three years, until I moved in August 08, when she went down for reasons not fully known (though I suspect the outlet is not properly grounded). I acquired some new goodies for her, but it wasn't until July 09 that all the parts were installed, and I still couldn't get her running. In June 2010, after getting her to power on again, I finally got off my tush and finished getting the newest iteration of my desktop online. I also renamed her from The Centre to Big Blue.
