First post
It's an OEM, I hope to build a system in the future. (~1 year)
Sony Vaio
Mobo w/ onbnoard sound, ethernet, etc
P4 1.7 GHz
512mb SDRAM
80GB HDD
32mb Video Card

I apoligize for not having brands or anything, but it's an OEM! It runs Win XP Pro and performs well.

First for this one, too. It's a laptop. It also runs XP Pro. It currently needs repair, though.
Dell Inspiron 5150
P4 3.06 w/o HT
60 GB HDD
512mb DDR RAM
32 MB Video (I think)
Combo CD-RW/DVD

Server... this thing is going to be upgraded, I have much better lying around.
PII 350 MHz, WD (?) 8GB, Maxtor 30 GB HDD

and other systems lying around that I won't post..

I've waited two years to build a new box (last one was a AMD TBERD 1.4G). I think this one will
tide me over till the dust settles over PCI-Express, 64 bit
Windows, etc. Did I mention this box rocks?
