What kind of computer do you like to use? What particular hardware of software?
I know our heads may be "hardware" however they don't count! -

I'm still using a "frankenstien" that I built two years ago. Lian Li case, Asus MB, 2 gHz Intel chip, 2 GB ram... I think the only piece that came over from my old system was a 25GB HDD that now serves as a D: drive.
I'm really kind of sick of the whole set-up though and would love to switch to a wide-screen laptop with wireless connetions to the printers, etc. I hate beeing chained to my office/inner sanctum. -

So what you're trying to say is that it takes awhile to view Sly Bald Guys?

I recently switched to a Toshiba Satellite laptop with a bilingual
Win XP (Greek and English) running on it.
I absolutely love laptops and would never buy one of these ugly and bulky desktops again.
Anyway, it's sufficiently fast, with an Intel Duo 2 Core processor, 1024 MB RAM and a 100GB HDD. The graphics card (NVidia GeForce Go 7600) could be better for the kind of work I do, which is web design, so I'm also using Macromedia Studio 8 software.
I also use office software (Open Office 2.0 - a great and free alternative to the MS Office suite), and when I feel really adventurous (like Billy the Kid) I also run Limewire on my system....but sshhh, don't tell anyone...

I am currently limping along on a second hand HP Pavillion running XP. It's got a paltry 40GB hard drive (17GB of which is taken up by music!).
It's running a Pentium III processor and an Asus HAWK 1.08 motherboard.
I bought hte whole thing from my office at the time when they updated their systems. It was $200 complete with monitor and all, so...
I bought it after 3 weeks of being computer less after my Toshiba Satillite Pro laptop finally gave up the ghost... Withdrawls suck.
So my current system is pretty punkass, but I am saving for a nice laptop.
OH, and while I use XP as my platform (came pre-installed on the computer), I ALWAYS use Firefox and Thunderbird.
I LOVES me some LimeWire!!! (exclusively for the legal downloading and sharing of files which in no way infringe on anyones copywrites
.)

I think I have all of you beat! As in, I've got the WORSE computer. It's a '99 Gateway Pentium III 500 mghz with a - cough cough - 20 GB harddrive and a maxed out memory of 384 Megs.
Aaand I'm still running Windows 98SE. I'll be getting a new computer (finally) in the next couple of weeks.

UPDATE!
I upgraded to a 120gb hard drive and un-installed ALL Microsoft products. I have been running on Ubuntu for the past several weeks and I'm never going back to MS, ever.
