P4 2.8 w/ 1gig of mem, 128mb fx5200 (the weak link, but it was given to me), main hdd is a 36gb 10000rpm raptor drive for the os and games, then 3 other hdd's (80gb each at the moment) one for music, one for program cd images, game cd images etc, and the third for riipped DVDs. I built it 2 or 3 years ago... Haven't really seen the need to upgrade... it still opens firefox instantly, runs games smoothly. <shrug>
