Celeron 1.2 (overclocked to 1.3)
Aopen Motherboard (3 pci slots, no agp slots)
3 sticks of sdram that total 512 megs. I have no idea on the specs, I "borrowed" 2 of them from my old job.
a single ATA 66 40GB ibm hard drive (yes...the same ibm drives that kept dying on people, I like living on the edge)
cdrom (48x, manufacturer???)
cd-rw (40x???)
GeForce MX 440 video card (PCI)
built in audio
and to top it off...a whopping 200W power supply that purrs like a kitten

This thing is super fast...I can play the shareware version of Doom at 14fps. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif I can leave it on for hours and it doesn't crash...sometimes overnight. Oh yeah, I'm thinking of selling this bad boy....if the price is right. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

OK,

I've got a

AMD Atlon XP 1800 overclocked to 2000 (weak oc, I know)
512 Mb Generic PC2100 (the reason why my oc sucks)
XFX Nvidia 5900NU
MSI KT6-Delta motherboard
7200rpm 8mb cache 80gig HD
MSI CDRW 52X
MSI 16X DVD-rom
All of this is housed in a Thermaltake XaserIII with a 480 watt thermaltake power supply
plus an Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers that Dana got me for christmas

I'm in the process of slowly upgrading everything
the processor is going to be replaced with a AMD Athlon XP 2500 with the Barton core,
that will be overclocked to at least a 3200
the memory will be replaced with 2 x 512 pc3500 sticks of Muskin Black level II ddr-ram
the hard drive will be replaced with a SATA 36gb 10,000rpm raptor drive for system files and a 120gb 7200rpm drive for data files

Here's my System

Asus A78NX-deluxe Mobo
Amd Xp2200 OC at 1.9ghz
256mg OCZ Performance Ram PC3200 Rev2 CL2
Ati Radeon 8500 128mg Video Card
Maxtor 120 gig SATA HD
Western Digital 30 gig 5200rpm Drive (used for Storage)
Lite-on 16x Burner.

Antec PLUSVIEW1000AMG Case
19" Samsung Monitor
Logitech Cordless Keyboard and Mouse
Sound is hooked up to my Stereo in my room.
Running Xp Pro

When the XP 3200 Falls in price, I plan to upgrade to that, and also might change Ram to Corsair, I'd like to get at least 512 (2x256), and I may also get another Maxtor 120 gig SATA drive so I can take advantage of the Onboard Raid.

the OCZ seems ok, but I believe I can OC the CPU higher than I have it (and be reliable) but i beleive the Ram is holding the OC back, I've heard alot of good stuff about Corsair. anything higher than 1.9 and the system reboots way too much right now http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/plthumbsdown.gif

Here's mine:

Dell PowerEdge 400SC
3.2GHz P4 w/HyperThreading & 800fsb (begging to be over clocked, current bios will not allow for it)
Crucial XMS matched pair 1g DDR RAM 400MHz Non-ECC w/platinum heat spreader in dual channel w/PAT enabled
120gb WD 7200rpm 8mb cahce (Soon to go raptor)
250gb WD 7200rpm 8mb cache
Lite-On 42x CD Burner
Lite-On 4x DVD-RW (dual format)
ATI AIW 7500 video card (Not a gamer, this has TV tuner and DVI for 2001FP)
Dell 2001FP - 20" LCD Flat Panel Display w/4 USB 2.0 ports (just got this yesterday and LOVE it)
Soon to be new front bezel (Big hole to be able to access the USB ports in front)
Windows XP Professional (Sp1)
Logitech Cordless Elite Duo keyboard mouse (Best I've ever used)

I had a Radeon 9800 Pro for it (came in a $250 box that was supposed to be a non-pro) that I pretty much gave to a buddy who does computer gaming. Made his day. I use my computer for making money and my Xbox for fun. In case anyone cares, that's modded with a Xecuter 2.3 Lite and a 250gb Western Digital 7200rpm 8mb cache HD. I have over 80 games on it and several dozen movies. It has a real brushed aluminum skin and I have soldered in blue LEDs to each of the controller dongles so the light up blue where they blug into the box. Up next is the Xbox jewel. I'm going to remove the lime green paint fromt eh back and use 8 LEDs around it under the cover to light it up blue as well. Pretty fun.
