All righty, thought this might be a good idea, as there are a few too many threads on this.

Basically, show (off) your PC's specs, and why not posts some benchmark scores if ya have them, or maybe just the speed of handling games such as Half Life 2, Doom 3 and Counter-Strike : Source.

Anyhoo, my specs (*ed items I highly recommend):

Abit IC7-G *
Pentium 4 3.2Ghz Prescott
40GB SAMSUNG HDD (IDE)
1024 MB RAM @ PC2700 (1x 512 MB PC2700 Crucial RAM; 1x 256 MB PC2700 DELL RAM; 1x 256 MB PC3200 GEIL Value RAM)
SAMSUNG CD-RW 52X
SONY DVD 48X
ATi Radeon 9600XT *
Creative Live! 5.1

Others:
CoolerMaster Centurion 5 (Black / Silver) *
120mm Case Fan (O)
80mm Case Fan (I)

What's having a Shuttle like?

I'm thinking of building one for my mother's room, so she can store it, along with a nice projector so she can have the joy of a keyboard without the hastle of a laptop etc.

And are the parts more expensive?

Hmm, what advantages does Linux have over Windows? Other than a lack of paperclips...
