It's actually the first computer that I built myself, with the latest cool technology! It's been upgraded a bit over time, and now sits as a 500mhz K6-II+, 20GB HDD, and 256MB RAM. It's actually quite peppy. I really loved (love?) those old K6-2/3+ chips.

EDIT: I'll also add that my main rig is a Duron 1ghz, 40GB HDD, 1GB RAM, and ... a Voodoo 3 card! I don't even have any plans to upgrade it since it still works so well with XP. That Voodoo 3 still has killer 2D to my old eyes.

Commodore 64's (three of 'em) in use everyday. :D

Intel P4 @ 2.4 in an ASUS P4PE w/ 512mb ram, radeon 7000, and a 120gb HD. Runs linux and does fine at web-surfing and word-processing.

I guess you could technically count my voice mail system (old DOS Amanda)

Athlon 900MHz with 512MB memory. Believe it or not it serves as a Win2K Server domain controller, Exchange Server, and file server on my home network.

I also have a P3-600 running XP in the living room that we use for websurfing, though it's slow as molasses.

I have a 7 year old box with an Athlon XP 2600 and 1gb of ram (4 sticks of 256mb) running Ubuntu as a file, print, and ftp server. It also has a geforce Ti4400 graphics card and 2 maxtor 80gb hdds but one of the maxtor's has died. All in all the system runs great with Ubuntu.
