ummm pc spec not sure as its quite old now, i think its the following

Pentium 4 3.4ghz Prescott Core
4x 256mb sticks of pc3200 ram (generic stuff)
1x 160Gb Hdd
3x 80Gb Hdd in Raid0
Ati Radeon 9550
1x DVD Drive
1x DVD writer

psu i cant see a sticker on but i believe its a generic make 500w psu so i would be ver supprised if its anywhere near 500w, if theres anything else u need to kno let me know

hmmm well it wont let me run two at a time one of them just comes up with an error but with one running and my cpu at just over 50% there is very little change to voltage only 0.02v at the most
