dvd drive, cdrw 24x
cheapo 400watt power supply that doesn't like starting up 1st time
17" monitor
usb 2 pci card

motherboard can go as high as a Athlon 2400 - so will think of upgrading at some point (although the PC does most of what I want), bung in some more memory eventually.
 
my old PC (now the family PC) downstairs:

celeron 600mhz
192mb RAM
evil intel i810 16mb graphics
15Gb HD
17" monitor

(it sucks ass)

512mb PC2700 DDR RAM
60Gb HD (20Gb partition for Windows etc, 40Gb for storage)
GeForce 128mb FX 5200 graphics card (not amazing, but it's fairly beasty)

whatever the onboard sound is, cant be arsed with a soundcard, I have a bitching stereo system for my music ;)

Lite-on 52/24/52 CD-RW
Pioneer DVD-RW 106... mmm DVD writing mmm

6 lovely USB ports, even though I only use about 4... one for GP32 cable, one for PSX to PC pad converter (they kick ass!!), one for scanner, one for printer :)

15" NEC TFT monitor...

keyboard and scroll mouse :D
 
The PC I'm on at the moment is in my room and just used for mp3s and websurfing. Thats
  • 350mhz pentium 2
  • 512i digital legacy audio card
  • 3d prophet 4500
  • 352mb ram
  • Flat screen17" crt monitor.
Then the main family comp is.
  • 1.2 Ghz Athlon
  • 256mb ram
  • on board graphics and sound
  • 1 cd drive and 1 cdrw drive
The laptop is.
  • 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4
  • 256 mb ram
  • An nvidia graphics card, not sure which 1 tho.
  • Dvd rom drive.
And my sisters pc is.
  • 400 Mhz pentium 2
  • 128 mb ram
  • CD rom drive
  • Voodoo2 8mb graphics
  • On board sound
And we have a couple of of network points in every room, apart from the kitchen and bathrooms. None of the pcs are that good, good enough to enjoy unreal tournament tho with a few mates, even better if they bring their machines :).

Edit: oh, if i was to get a new pc it would b a half decent laptop for when i start uni. just enough to run 98 with no probs would do me fine.
 
My system:

18.6 Gb harddrive
64MB Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 460
Soundblaster Live

May not seem so special, but I can't even comprehend upgrading to anything else, there is nothing that this thing can't handle....tis my self built baby of course, must just be one of those lucky configurations.

Radeon 9000 64MB DDR VIVO (upgrading in 3 days)
40GB HDD

Kinyo 4.1 Speakers (who needs a HiFi? Not me!)

New GFX card I've just ordered:
GeforceFX 5600 XT VIVO (yes, I DO need the VIVO!) 128MB DDR
Not bad for £80! Same price my old card was.

Athlon 2000XP
256 mb Ram
40gb HD
DVDROM drive (im taking my grams old burner )
Win2000(the only winos i'll use by choice, if grudgingly)

Oh and are people still having problems on counterstrike steam or have they gone because my fps seems fine though it flickers 99fps eg unseeable flickering between possibly 91 - 99? Also it seems 2 play the crazy doom alpha quite well about 30 - 40 fps seems quite cool. Also my 9600xt supports dual screen on dvi + analog monitor etc. But i would really love to be able 2 output a movie on the tv out + use the computer on the monitor as per usual is this at all possible ??? It certainly doesn't seem 2 let me :(
