Dual 500mhz P3 Coppermine
352mb ram
GF4 Mx420 overclocked nicely
1x 4gb 5200rpm hd, 1x 3gb 5200rpm hd and when it felt like working a 16gb 7200rpm hd
Soundblaster 128 and a Soundblaster 16 in the isa slot for DOS
The same 15" monitor im using right now :p

When i joined on this username, having forgotten the last over the summer, i had
