Just wondering, you build that yourself/where did you get the parts for it. I am envious of your 7800GTX......
I'm the man, if you don't think so, you're wrong.

i made my compy a little less than a year ago. it was pretty good then but it's relatively out of date now (who needs 3ghz?). here's the specs:
1.5ghz AMD
512mb ram
13gb HD (yeah, small but it holds all i need)
1 32x CD drive
1 52X CD drive
1 DVD drive 52X cd burner combo (all 3 drive bays full :P )
floppy drive!
500w PSU
OS: win2k but i'm downloading SuSE 10.0 (holy cow 5 CDs!) right now so i can duelboot

my old compy was nice because my grandparents gave it to me for free:
450mhz PIII
320mb ram
1 old CD drive (probaly 4X, bleh...)
2gb HD (EEK!)

my most often used laptop (because it's the one with a HD and OS) is really top-notch:
25mhz lappy 386
floppy drive
180mb HD
win3.1
it actually plays some nice 3d games pretty well :P

my 2nd most used laptop (because it has no HD, the one it had blew up)
333mhz IBM thinkpad
64mb ram
floppy drive
CD drive
OS: whatever linux live CD i happen to use

then there's my other laptop.
133mhz pentium
1gb HD
floppy frive
cd drive
OS: i havn't gotten anything to work well with it yet, still looking for one

holy wow, i have 5 compys!

none of my compys have very good video cards, which is wierd because i have a real nice nvidia card sitting right next to me. i'll install it when i need better graphics

I also got on benheck once on my 8088 with 640k ram. I used an 8-bit LAN card and all I could run was telnet, so I used HTTP get requests.
"640k should be enough for anybody!" Anyway, here's my compies...

3.0E GHz Pentium 4 Prescot 478 with HT and 1MB cache, 120GB HD space, Zip 100 drive, 1.44M FDD that makes 1.68M with WinImage, (have a pair of 2.88s that I may try to use later to upgrade), CD-RW 52x24x52x, 1GB Dual Channel DDR 400.

866MHz Pentium III Coppermine with 512 MB SDRAM and about 20GB HD possibly.

750MHz Athlon (Not complete, but may become a server due to the four on-board IDE connectors.)

Toshiba Satellite 110CS 100MHz Pentium laptop, 40MB RAM and 400MB HDD space. Complete with the famous FOOF bug!
NOTE: Though the screen's video controller board is seperate from the main board, and COULD be used, in theory, in a portable, it's a crappy passive matric display. I do NOT suggest using it.
Plus, the driver is a PAIN to find and get working.

Broken 386-25 laptop with Monochrome display.
If I fix this old clunker, I may try a SETUP /nm of Win 95. I'm pretty sure a normal setup wouldn't let me try it. XD

(The rest I am not sure of the specs on, or there is too much to list.)

600 MHz P-III (Slot 1)
500 MHz Celeron Mendicino (370)
400MHz AMD K6-2 (Board is AT/ATX and supports speeds of up to 770MHz on a 140MHz FSB....Highest I've ever seen a SUper 7 built to take. ^^)
350MHz AMD K6-2
300A MHz Celeron (Overclocked to 450MHz, Slot 1. Possible Early Mendicino)
Various sub-300MHz P-IIs, P-MMXs, Pentiums, Pentium clones, and 486es in incomplete assembly...save a single proprietary-built 133MHz with USB. O.o

Note: I also have a 1.2GHz Celeron, but this is a Tualatin core and requires an FC-PGA2, a special Socket 370 board with different voltages. >.<
Warranty-Voiding fun!

Of course I built that myself! I got the parts from tigerdirect, but I don't like 'em much anymore. NCIX for the win!

Alas, mine is a dell. It works great and is free, so I'm not gonna even contemplate complaining about it (even though it's still a Dell...Dude.)

2.4 Ghz P4
128 MB ATI Radeon 9600 XT
512 MB Ram (need more now... I think win XP actually uses ram as a midnight snack!)
Wireless keyboard and mouse (nice b-day gift. Although now I don't think I can go back to wired...)
17" LCD (BOO CRT's! Much harder on the eyes than LCd's)
HUGE 4 speaker setup that I'm never allowed to use, since...*sigh* it's too loud :(

I love it. More than I probably should... Now I have to get back to playing TRON 2.0

My main desktop:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
512mb 3200DDR Ram
MSI Geforce4 Ti4200 128mb 8x
300gb HD
Debian Linux (SID)

Main Laptop:
Acer Aspire 3003LCi
AMD Sempron 3000+
512mb Ram
80gb HD
Debian Linux (SID)

Other desktop:
Dell Dimension XPS
Pentium III 600
384mb Ram
80gb HD
BeOS Pro R5

Other Laptop:
Dell C600
Pentium III 850
256mb Ram
20gb HD
FreeBSD 6.0

The Dells were free, I would never buy a new premade computer except for a laptop. The Dell desktop was a dumpster find, it came complete with a non booting OS, but plenty of personal info on the drive: addresses, phone numbers, bank info, social security numbers, etc. I felt like calling the lady who owned it before and asking if any of the numbers rang a bell, but I just formatted the drive and forgot about it.

I have enough parts laying around to put together 4 more computers from a PI 90mhz to a 1ghz Duron, I just don't have the room for any more computers.
