    Judging from early results, looks like we have a home-brew club. I'm not entirely surprised. Processor selection might also be interesting...

    AMD Athlon XP 2100
    ASUS Motherboard
    512Mb PC2700
    Maxtor 30Gb
    PNY (NVidia) 5200 dual-head plus TV (128Mb)
    Cable modem
    Note: the only time the hard-drive's had Windows on it was when I was using VMWare.

    My wife's is also a custom job, but somewhat lower on the processor and video card - she's not into running three to four JVM's at once...

    Gigabyte Motherboard (SiS 648 chipset)

    I built mine myself I'm 13, and i'm pleased with it. I've enclosed a picture of it. It has a 1gig AMD Duron, ATI Ratheon 7000, 20gig Maxtor, Pioneer 12x CD & Lite-on 52x24x52 Burner. Xp and FC2. . I'm starting another one, its only going to be Pentium3 but thats all I could find.

    Well my laptop is built by Toshiba, and its a Toshiba P10-804 if anyone is interested. Its specs are:

    A widescreen high definitiion 15.4" LCD screen (default 1920 x 1600 resolution)
    P4 3 Gig HT
    512mb Ram
    60gb HD
    DVD-RW
    64mb Nvidia Geforce FX

    Our other boxes (all 4 of them) are all custom built, and range from a P2 233Mhz through to an Athlon AMD XP 1800+. So we have a fair range, but I primarily use my spangly laptop.

    Made my own. Bought all the parts online (except the monitor which would have cost a fortune to ship)

    AMD Athlon 2700+ (OC'd a little bit) with nice Vantec cooler
    ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (definately not the best linux mobo)
    1 gig PCI 3200 DDR (2 512 sticks @ 3200) BTW, PCI 3200 runs at 400mhz, not 3200, the 3200 is with the memory multipler
    ATI Radeon 9500 PRO (OC'd of course)
    120 gig Maxtor IDE hdd
    8 gig WD hdd (back up drive)
    1 gig Seagate Drive (blank right now i think)
    52X CD-r?rw
    Toshiba DVD drive
    17in monitor, and on and on and on

    Fun to build though, he he he, you know were bad when we start reminicing and smiling "about the time when we built a pc"

    Wow! And people say my 1400x1050 on a 15" TFT is too much...

    Well, I stop building computers when I started using laptops. Laptops are all I use now. I have a Gateway 400SD and an iBook G4 800Mhz 12". The Gateway is a dual boot with WinXP and Fedora Core 2. The iBook runs OS X 10.3 Panther.

    HP Pavilion 503n. Not very fast, but not very expensive, and I didn't have to put it together.

    I admit I upgraded the RAM and hard drive.
