Well seeing as i've just finished building my "dream-machine" (took over 2 hours) I thought i'd ask you lot on what power your computer holds.

So.....list your spec.

AMD AthlonXP 2400+
MSI KT6 Delta FISR Motherboard
Coolermaster Aero 7 Lite
Seagate Barracuda 80GB Hard drive (7200rpm)
Connect3D Radeon 9600PRO
256mb of crucial Ram (PC2700) - Will be upgrading to more soon
"Zorro" silver case with 3 case fans
Phillips CDRW - Can't remember speed

I'll post a pic later. I'm just running it through Windows 98 setup - its formatting the drive at the mo.

My Main Rig is..

P4 2.8ghz @ 3.6ghz
Water cooled
1024 PC2700 Crucial DDR
Abit IS7 M motherboard
100gb Western Dig 8mb SE
16X DVD
52 X CDRW
Geforce 4 ti4200 128mb
1 x 19" IBM Touchscreen
1 x 17" CRT
802.11G wireless network

My TV PC (which is what a watch all my divx's on)

P3 550

Keyboard settings under the control panel I believe.

My 2400+ was only 45 pounds when I got it.

Damn this bizarre keyboard configuration - does anyone know how to change it back to normal?

Ooooh just ran 3Dmark 2001 - got 10043 3D marks. Not bad eh?

Because £70+ is still quite a lot of money when you have a perfectly rapid processor.

*Goes to attempt massive overclock...

I dont get it...why are a lot of people using the slower versions of the Athlon XP, considering you can get a 2800 for dirt-cheap money nowadays? :/

Hand Built for perfomance and cost effectiveness:

P4 2.8 (runs alright at upto 2.94)
Asus Mobo VIA PT800 chipset
512mb PC3200 ram
7200 80GB HD (planing to add 2x 120GB SATA drives in a RAID 0 config)
radeon 9600 <- :( waiting for that 9800xt price drop
On board 5.1 sound <- audigy 2 is planned
usual drives etc...

Note: the creative P580 speakers totally rock (esp considering the price)
