what's your favorite piece of hardware?

Mine would have to be my PNY 6600GT
followed closely by my Aver stereo tv stereo TV tuner card


What are yours?

 

mine with have to be the hard drive

 

Mine is always the video card, with ram following close behind.

 

Definitely my 20" Widescreen Monitor...

 

the Leadtek 6800GT.. but in the end its the way all of the individual components work together

 

My APC battery backup.

 

Oates

 

my Audio Technica A500s

 

My usb-powered external hard drive enclosure with a laptop hard drive that lets me use Acronis True Image to back up/restore both my laptop and desktop quickly and painlessly!

 

The TV,followed closely by the remote

 

graphic cards...there..there....just so sexy lol

 

actually the new 2.6 kernel supports SATA .. might be time to recompile

 

Living in the city and seeing 1980s hondas with lower busted suspensions huge noisy mufflers and cough "Street lights" has made me hate those types of cases

My favorite part would have to be the vid card, marvel at its huge h/s fan and $$$ dissipitating abilities as you climb to your virtual glory of +5fps!

 

2.6.11 is the current production kernal

 

Graphics cards are SEXY.

 

this is a toughie, I love the case sonata,<oh so blissfully quiet> followed closely by the graphics card and fans...something about swirling colors.

 

a real toughie..........it's a tossup between the table saw and router
got to be the epson all in one---- it gets a ton of use at our place and never fails

 

My right-hand Altec Lansing desktop speaker. Because sitting on top of it is the remote for the Panasonic 10,000 BTU through-the-wall air conditioner right behind me.

 

USB jump drive of the greatest capacity you can afford. Great for transferring stuff to other PC's. Easier and quicker than burning CD's. Bazza

 

I wish I had a USB drive, as my Floppy finally died, but I'm more a fan of my mouse.

 

USB drive would be good too, but I still burn everything anyway, I've had too many HD's go bad on me .lol
As it stands now all the PC's at home are networked so transferring things isn't a problem unless I'm working on someone else's PC
I still like the swirling fans better..
