Well, I've avoided this topic long enough I think...

My Other PC:
CPU:.............................. Pentium 4 1.7GHz
Motherboard:................ Intel D845WN
Memory:....................... 1024MB (1GB) PC100
Video Card:................... ATI All-In-Wonder AGP 8X
Hard Drive:................... 80GB Western Digital IDE
Hard Drive:................... 40GB Western Digital IDE
OS:................................ Windows XP Home / Fedora Core 6
Optical Drive:................ Sony CD-W/DVD±RW
Network Interface:....... LinkSys 10/100 PCI Network Card

My Current PC:
CPU:.............................. Intel Pentium 4 641 Cedar Mill 3.2GHz LGA 775 Single-Core Processor
Motherboard:................ Intel DG965WH (LGA775 Socket)
Memory:....................... 2048MB (2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Video Card:................... Built In
Hard Drive:................... 160GB Western Digital sATA
OS:................................ Windows XP Home
Optical Drive:................ Sony CD-W/DVD±RW
Network Interface:....... Built In - Intel Pro 10/100/1000 Network Interface

My motherboard allows for plenty of upgrading...
I have room for another 4GB of memory but 2GB DDR2 memory modules are hard to find and expensive so I am going to upgrade to a total of 4 GB soon (1GB+1GB)+(1GB+1GB) = 4 GB
I can put an Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processor in the board which would boost my system even more.

Looking to add hard drives soon as well. At least 1 more 160 GB drive to create a mirrored RAID. I'm considering doing 3 more 160 GB drives and arranging them in a RAID 0+1 which would mirror and stripe the disks. (The computer would see 1 320GB hard drive which would have a real-time clone from the mirror). This provides a very large storage capacity, quicker read times and best of all data protection.

Both of my systems share a ViewSonic VA721 17" flat panel monitor, Microsoft thumb controlled trackball, and Microsoft keyboard on a KVM switch.
I would like to add a second video controller to my current system along with a second flat panel monitor. Having dual or triple screens would really increase my productivity when writing scripts.

I'm pretty happy with my current system except for all of the extras I mentioned.

Well, the new PC's arrived!

An early birthday present, admittedly, but it's not overly shabby. In effect, it's one of these, with a nice flatscreen monitor (1440x900) and decent speakers. All in all, it makes a nice change from my old laptop, although I do miss it's little quirky fan noise...

Since posting my first specifications, I have bought a new laptop a few months ago. I completely forgot to post its specs here.

Name: penguin2
Model: Macbook (2,1)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz 4MB Cache
Mobile Platform: Napa Refresh (Centrino)
HDD: Seagate ST9120822AS 120 GB HDD 5400 RPM 8MB Cache
RAM: 1 GB (2x512MB) DDR2 SDRAM 667 MHz
Optical: SuperDrive (CD-RW/DVD-RW) 8x
GFX: Intel GMA 950 64MB VRAM (can only go up to 224MB on Windows)
WiFi: Airport Extreme (802.11 a/b/g/n)
CAM: iSight 1.3 MP
OS: MacOS X 10.4.11 Tiger

I'm going to upgrade to Leopard once I have the money and when they fix most of the serious launch kinks.

Well I have a really bad and slow computer, nothing to really boast about.

Intel Pentium 4
Windows XP Pro
512 MB Ram... LOL
80 GB hard drive
256 MB geforce 4 MX graphics card
Realtex 100 MBPS ethernet card

So yeah, prett crap!

I've also got another 40gb hard drive in the computer with centOS 4.3 on it.

Keyboard & Mouse

Kensington 64365 Black USB Wired Slim Keyboard w/ Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball 64327 2-Tone 2 Buttons USB + PS/2 Wired TrackBall Orbit Optical Trackball

Although I wouldn't mind getting that sweet LED keyboard the $1500 price tag is a bit to much, although I don't even know what the hell I was thinking when I order that mouse EEEW, I be replacing that with my USB wireless mouse, but I guess I can give it a trial run but the mouse was ugly back then and still is ugly right now.

Does somebody remember the first posts in this topic ? People said that this topic is useless, no interest, mods were asked to remove it. And now this topic is 15 pages long, proving that a lot of people want to express themselves here.
Also, I think here we should not post about our professional computers, only concerning family computers. Else I would also post about my 64-cpu's Power5 system which 200 gig's memory and 140 terabytes disks.
