If your computer were a car, which make would it be?

[Proverbial Jon]

Probably something like this...

It makes a helluva noise when it starts up because I bought a real cheap case and the HDD vibrates when it fires up. It doesn't look flashy but it's reasonably powerful. It's not going to run Crysis on the highest settings but it's in it for the long haul. Practical and efficient. It doesn't have snow chains though...

 

[Poetic Nova]

My old pc would be this:

(old pc which runs strong for 10 years now without ever changing the hardware).
My laptop:

(beatiful but prone to break down easily and handling like a brick).

 

[White-Death]

AMD x64 FX 3.2 GHz
GeForce GTX 9800
Abit AN8
2TB HDD/SSD hybrid
6GB 1600mhz RAM

Vintage,but looks pretty good,and still has a lot of kick in it,crazy reliability,and still powers on since 2006.
BMW E34 540i,cannot post a picture since this iPad is a atupid slow as hell cant copythefuckingimage piece of shit,my PC is borked atm,power supply I think.

 

[Stealthygamer]

a 4 month old laptop that can run most modern games medium-high with exceptions (DAMN YOU CRYSIS) also pretty small so

 

[Laughing Man]

It doesn't have the most powerful hardware but with some clever tweaking and some fancy electronics it can punch way above it's weight

Oh and it's red

Core I5 750 at 4.2Ghz
560Ti GTX superclocked
8gig of Corsair Ballistix Ram
Boot 120gig Vertex 3 SSD

 

[JochemHippie]

Lol I dunno.

You guys recommend me one.

It's a beast CPU, low memory and a shite GPU.

 

[Starik20X6]

That's easy. Behold:

iMac.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

What would a 6 year old macbook 13,3", no upgrades or anything, translate too?
I am knowledgable about cars, but bad when it comes to PCs.

 

[NoPants2win]

Smart fourtwo

 

[FitScotGaymer]

I suppose my computer is like a Corsa.

Small, Cute, and Reliable; if a little finicky.

 

[ElPatron]

I suppose a muscle car? Bought the parts myself, cutting edge when it came out but now it's only an outdated processing powerhouse with rubbish energy consumption economy.

Also, crashes into trees if I try to make a curve.

 

[Breywood]

2.5GHz Intel P4. No bloody dual, tri, quad or hexa core.
1GB RAM
256MB NVidia GEForce
Sound Blaster Live

So I'd have to say a V-6 1981 Pontiac Grand LeMans [http://www.productioncars.com/gallery.php?car=17065&make=Pontiac&model=Grand]. It doesn't go anywhere quickly, but it's more than enough to make runs to Nostalgia.


I'd like to upgrade to a 2007 Elantra [http://www.productioncars.com/gallery.php?car=11623&make=Hyundai&model=Elantra]. A bit old, but still reliable.

i3 Dual core
8GB RAM
1GB NVidia
I think I still have some old 16-bit Sound Blasters in a box somewhere, even if there is onboard sound.

I need to take care of some bills first.

 

[frizzlebyte]

Upscale for its day, but nothing crazy or flashy.

 

[Signa]

What car is powerful, versatile, and dependable? Because that's how I'd describe my PC. It's 3 years old already, and it's still kicking so much ass, I don't see an upgrade in the future yet.

 

[Blarkuntvhite]

Probably something like this:

 

[SlaveNumber23]

Hmm something with a modest budget, yet gets the job done, runs beautifully and is very reliable. I don't know shit about cars so someone help me out here!
