|  #1 Posted on 9.9.05 2335.54 | Instant Rating: 3.28 | OK, we've had the "old and busted" thread, time for the "new hotness".
My current home computer is a 17" flat screen 800MHz G4 iMac (the iLamp). Not two months after I bought it (in '02) they upgraded it and dropped the price. Ah, such is technology.
I'd love something new (2GHz+ would be nice. They sure have gotten faaaast in just under 3 years.), but this baby's holding up nicely. Plus, I hate the design of the G5 iMacs.

My work computer is a 3.2Gig P4, 1Gb RAM, X300 Dell with twin 17" LCD's.
I'm looking at buying soemthing similar for home, but with a beefier video card and more HDD.
Also have a Toshiba Satelite laptop with a Celery 700Mhz, 168Mb RAM and a HP Ipaq with a PXA255 and 64Mb RAM
Also a PS2 and a NES to cover off on the consoles 
I use dial-up mode, but I won't be able to remember what day I was WOTD every time I see one of my posts and I can't ask the boss because *he* won't tell me. ;)

Snagged a 21" monitor for $14 so I'm using that, slapped an 802.11b card in and it's not working, but the motherboard has an onboard NIC, so that's fine. Onboard graphics and sound, too, but I had to add in USB 2.0 and FireWire. Motherboard just had USB 1.1.

Maybe invest in a new internal HD.

Lenovo S10 netbook at school. I'm not much of a computer guy so I don't know all the specs. The screen is 10" diagonal widescreen, but I've got this badass little machine hooked up to a 19 inch monitor on a fully adjustable arm. And I can still unplug to take it into the lab, classes, and meetings. This whole setup is the best $500 I've ever spent.

That's pretty much what I have as the house file/print server - without the DVD burners. I also had to add a USB 2.0, firewire card, a faster Ethernet card, and a second hard drive. The monitor is either the television (until I run an Ethernet cable to my desk) or remote desktop.
My main computer is a 15" MacBook Pro, 2.5 gH Intel Dual Core. I love it so much I could marry it (maybe not in California).
