My Main rig is an AthlonXP 2000 (1.6Ghz)
512Mb Ram,
40Gb HD,
DVD and CDRW,
Geforce2MX graphics card
all in a nicely modded tower and cooled by an Thermaltake Aquarius2 water cooler.

This box Dual Boots Win2k... and BeOS R5 with Bone.  Used for Gaming and online.

I also have a custom BSD setup running as an mp3 jukebox thats networked to the main rig and anything else I eventually put on the network running
Pentium1 -160Mhz
64Mb ram
40Gb IDE hd and a 2Gb scsi drive
IDE cdrom
crapo gfx card that is fine as I don't run X

The next system I'm getting is as follows
P2-300Mhz
128Mb
Voodoo Banshee agp gfx card
4Gb Hd

And it will be running BeOS -r5.1d0 - Dano exclusively and serve as both my router and my personal rig.

IBM Thinkpad 380XD
P1 233Mhz
32Mb Ram
3Gb HD
Neomagic gfx/sound set

Its used mainly for word processing and playing the odd Mp3. Also occationally used as a test bed for any ideas I want to try out.

It dual boots BeOS R5/Bone and Morphix lite distro.

On the Amiga front Up untill about a year ago I had 11 fully functional systems.. now I'm down to two and even they are dubiously labeled functional... All are currently in mothballs where they will likely remain for the rest of their days.

A1200 Z4T
Apollo A1240 - 040'28 with 32Mb Ram
Various small sized HD's
CDrom
with an C=1940 dualsync monitor.

Requires massive amounts of time to sort out the HD's and a clean install of everything just to make certain

A3000D
030'25 16Mb
4.3Gb scsi hd
original cybervision gfx card (s3 trio based)

Requires new psu and desperately needs more ram/cpu to make useful for anything other than looking old.

other Amigas include an unexpanded A1200 without a psu... an A500 in the same boat and various odds and ends that I cant be bothered to type about.

Blessed Be,
