Mine's a Custom built machine by myself, as I've been building PC's for years now. It's primarily built as a gaming rig, but is used for everything.
Abit AN8-SLi Fatal1ty Motherboard
AMD Opteron 175 CPU w/Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro
2 GB Corsair XMS RAM
GeForce 7900GTX 512MB Graphics
Hiper Type R 580W PSU
About a Terrabyte's worth of hard drives
Oh, and the case is an NZXT Nemesis Armoured unit that I've embossed with a nice Angel of Death along the side!

I sat down with Moritach (my girlfriend - yes we got back together - for those of you who don't know me as well) the other night and ordered a new computer to her. The one she has now is getting a bit old and she is a hardcore gamer so she really needs to be able to play without getting graphics-related lag and such.

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, GeForce 8800GTS, 500 GB of HDD and all the normal yadayada. Ordered it at a company who will build the whole computer for her and then just deliver it, installed and ready.

With this she also ordered some high-sense gamer-mouse, a new mousepad. Creative Inspire T-7900 speakers and some other stuff was included for free.

I am quite sure it will be nice and that she will be happy with it.

I have installed a 250 GB HDD into my Intel Mac to run Windows XP on. Need it for some games and to be able to have Ventrilo when I raid with my guild in World of Warcraft. The Ventrilo-client for Apple Macintosh can only talk to other Apple Macintosh-ventriloclients. How stupid is that?
Anyways. This new HDD, it makes quite some noise when it is spinning so I am considering opening up the computer again and see if I can shove some rubber spacings in between the drive itself and the cradle to see if that reduces the humming. It's not terribly loud, but it gets annoying with time. I guess that's what I get for buying a cheap*ss disc for 65 quid.

Also, tossing in another GB of RAM sounds like a good idea also, but won't do that this month, had enough bills this month.

AMD Athlon 64x2 2gb ram, 600gb hdd windows vista Nvidia geforce 7600gs

I have a Toshiba Satellite, nor sure the exact model number and right now I am to lazy to pick the thing up to look at the bottom.

How is Windows Vista treating you when it comes to gaming? If you game at all, that is.

it runs perfect never had any problems really in fact I'm having less problems with games than I did with XP vista is more stable faster and its a bit hard to use at first but when you get all the stuff worked out its easy
almost everything is made for vista now
and I can still play some of the really old dos games I still have them on my comp and they work

I have the Delicious Sony VAIO FE-890.

2ghz dual core processor
nvidia go 7600
1gb ram
60gb hard drive (should have gotten bigger)

So far with Vista I have played World of Warcraft, The Sims, and The Sims 2 Deluxe. Obviously The Sims didn't work as I had to go out and get the second one, but TS2 and WoW run beautifully, as well as my every day web surfing. The new IE browser doesn't crash as the old one, but sometimes it doesn't respond to my clicking or arrow keys (and home, end, etc.). It's like it's still loading, but I know it's not. I haven't tried Firefox or any of my favorite games (QUAKE!!!).

I used to have:

nvidia 5200
512 mb ram
40gb hd (which I hadn't used all of, so didn't think to upgrade)
sblive something sound card (default in a gateway machine)
gigabyte g4 something something mobo

And I must say it held up pretty well through all the games I've played. I had a lot of problems with the Burning Crusade since they made the dungeons less people heavy and more graphics heavy, and I had a lot of sound issues with other games, despite not having on-board. Plus it was a bitch to lug around if I wanted to go play at someone's house.

I use a Dell Deminsion c521. It runs windows. I have an Ipod Nano...Its pink! I like pink...

All of you are giving me computer envy.

I built my PC myself. AMD Sempron 3300+, 1gb ram 1 IDE hard drive at 320 gigs and one SATA hard drive at 320 gigs with a ATI Radion X1550 (512 MB) graphics card.

As for operating system(s) I have set up the machine to boot both XP and Vista (installed each to a diffrent hard drive).

For xmass I have asked santa for a an AMD 64 X2, a new mother board and 4 gigs of ram... will that all fit in a stocking??

I use a Dell inspiron m1710 laptop.
Intel core 2 cpu
T7200 @ 2.00 ghz
2.00 ghz, 1.00 gb of RAM
120 gig hard drive.

I have no idea what all that means, just copied it from the system properties
I also have a 400gb external hard drive (primarily for music, but also for some games), and an almost permanently attached 60 gig ipod (soon to be replaced by a 160 gig one ).
It was advertised as the gaming model on the Dell site, and its served me well in that regard, though it is starting to struggle a bit with a couple of the newer games.
I use windows XP, I have no real interest in upgrading to vista, but I probably will at some point.
Oh, it also has snazzy lights all over it that you can mess around with, currently mine are set to pulsate slowly in purple

Custom Built:

Intel P4 2.24Ghz
2048GB RAM DDR-II, Dual-Channel
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 w/256Mb
ITE8212 RAID Card, running 0+1
6 Hard Drives, 4 in RAID = 391.3GB
Creative Sound Labs Soundblaster Live! 5.1
Sony Dual-Layer DVD +/-R & RW Burner

Sadly, I had to convert to Vista to program successfully in .NET3.5 and DirectX 11...

A Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop that came with Ubuntu 7.10 preinstalled. Nothing too fancy except the 1440x900 display, Nvidia 8400 GS 256 MB graphics card, and built-in bluetooth. And it's red, which is pretty much the best color ever.

Running a new one PC now, Built it on the weekened

Dual Core
XP (I aint swapping to Vista yet)
8GB Ram
500gb (with 1terabyte exteranl Wireless Media Player networked)
ASUS Boards
ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 2600Pro 512mb
Creative Labs 7.1 hooked up to a Denon system

but what I'm proud of is the case and the box/coverings for all the extras like the Servo Skull Camera and speaker, Imperium Styled Tower Case.

I've now upgraded my system after a catastrophic system failure - turned out to be cheaper to buy a new PC than to replace/upgrade the components in the old one.

My new system is also running XP and Xubuntu 7.10:

Asus P5N-32E SLI Plus
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (2.3GHz)
2GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB Fatality edition
120GB SATA HDD
Coolermaster RC-330 case

This system is whisper-quiet, thanks mainly to the fact that both the motherboard and the GPU are passive-cooled - the loudest thing in it is the PSU fan!

I'm still running that 1.8GHz Celeryon, though >.>
