What are we all running for PCs?

[[TuSC]]

I figure most guys who are Uplink players/addicts must be into computers like I am. So what do you all run for your main personal rig?

AMD FX-53 940 (should have waited for the damn 939s!)
Asus SK8V
4x Gb Corsair XMS low latency DDR400 (pc3200)
VapoChill XE2 phase change cooling case
ATI Radeon X850 XT AGP 8x 256mb 256-bit
ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256mb 128-bit
Samsung 213T 21.3" LCD
2x BenQ FP93GX 19" LCD (2ms)
SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Klipsch 600w 5.1 surround
BenQ DVD
BenQ DVD-rwr w/ Lightscribe
3.5" Floppy (I'll never give it up!) LOL
2x WD 150Gb Raptor SATA 10k rpm in Raid 0
WD 250 Gb SATA
WD 400 Gb SATA
WD 160 Gb IDE
Thermaltake 650w PSU (not sure, might be 600)
Logitech G15 keyboard (I highly recommend it!)
Logitech G5 mouse (worlds better than the Razer Copperhead, much better physical design)
Saitek Cyborg Evo joystick
Sennheiser headphones

It runs great. I attest most of the extra speed in programs and games to the Raid 0 array on the Raptors - WORLDS different than any IDE, and even noticably faster than a basic Raptor on SATA.

If I had my druthers, I'd have a 939 chipset and PCI-express along with some SLI cards..... oh well, that's for next time!

RAM: 1MB
FDD: 720KB Floppy
HDD: 20MB

OS: MS-DOS 5.0
NOTE: This laptop was pretty neat back in the day. In addition to being able to boot from a floppy/hard drive, it also had MS-DOS on the ROM. It had the ability to dynamically clock the processor based on whether you were plugged in or running on battery. It uses an LCD display, which was a godsend when you look at the early laptops/portables with plasma displays. The battery is pretty dead on mine, of course, but the system works great when you plug it into the mains.

I dont have a computer at all now.
