Now I know that's not the best but lets see who's is.

I’ve never really considered mine terribly powerful, but it gets the job done. I’m saving up to build my own dream machine.

3.00ghz P4 530
80gb Seagate Barracuda HDD
2gb pc2-4200 ram
This is the killer.. ATI X300 PCI-E .. POS!!!!

Can’t live without my floppy :D
Various other ports I don't care to count at this point
Creative 24-bit live! – not too bad really. Thought it would be worse, and damn cheap.

Ooh... well I have a couple. But my main is:
Windows XP Pro
Intel P4 2.8GHz
512MB RAM
80GB hard drive
Internal Dual-Layer Lightscribe DVD(all formats) Drive (this, I think, is the best tech on this computer)
Internal Sound
Internal Video


It is a fricking Dell, though. My dad got it for me a year ago as a gift. I have a video card (ATI x300), but I can never find time to set it up.

BTX technology seems really good. It quiets down the PC a lot (my friend oought a Gateway). Unfortunately, you have to get a Gateway, and I can just make a good PC with an ATX case for a very low pricetag.

I'm not touching BTX til consumer level parts are available from major component manufacturers and the standard is set in stone. PCs from companies like Gateway, etc are using BTX chasis but full form factor complience seems somewhat fuzzy at this stage.
