Mine is nothing special keep in mind so back of the bus compared to some here for sure (Phate, EGorLNF, Waffles, etc), just a hand me down with problems I had to put a new board, memory, and am changing some parts in. Started life as a HP m8300f media computer with tv tuner and all that shit. I probably will build one from scratch after christmas or something, this one is a low budget turd.

Board: ASUS M2N68-AM Plus
Cpu: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3.0ghz
Video: On board for now... PNY GT 220 1 gig ddr2 cheap low end video board on its way
Memory: 2 gig of ddr2 pc2-6400 for now... going to up to 4 gig
Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 520w
Case: HP m8300f model media case
Storage: 2 x 320 gig Western Digital 7200 rpm Sata 3.0
Cd/Dvd: SuperMulti cd/dvd burner... will do dual layer, lightscribe, blah blah blah.

HDTV tuner card with remote, media bay, etc... all kinds of little toys with it.

Mine is like 2 years old, going to build an I7 machine here in the next few weeks.

Board: Standtard Intel, I don't remember the name.
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo e7300 @ 2.66ghz
RAM: 2 gig ddr2 G.SKill
Power: 750w, don't remember brand name.
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
Hardrive: 250gig, don't remember brand name.

All in all, it's good and fun setup. Can handle all games, only thing I would change is had 2 more gigs of ram, but I'll take care of that when I start building my I7 machine.

if yours is around 2 years old. expect it to crash very soon. mine just did, and from all the research i've done on it, it seems like as soon as these cards get a little over 2 years, they crash. but great cards while they last! i loved mine.
