I have two computers, both of which are DELLs.
My Desktop:
My Laptop:
I know, my computer's not top of the line, but since I'm not much of a PC gamer, it has done everything I needed it to. That is, until now...
I will be getting a completely new system for Christmas this year. Judging by a lot of the comments on Windows XP, I'll probably go with Windows 2000.
But...I am also very heavily considering a new Mac G4.
I just can't stop drooling every time I see OSX! 
My Desktop:
- P3 600 Mhz
- 256 MB of RAM
- 27.8 GB hard drive
- DVD/CD-RW drives
- 19'' Trinitron monitor
- 5-speaker Altec Lansing system
- Windows ME
My Laptop:
- 96 MB of RAM
- 18 GB hard drive
- DVD-ROM drive
- 15'' screen
- Windows 98 Second Edition

I am actually pricing out and budgeting for a:- G4
- Dual 800mhz
- 1.5 Gb of Ram
- Super Drive
- 80 GB HD
- 15" Flat LCD with Dual Monitor Support.
Does anyone have $5,300.00 dollars that would like to invest into C-n-R Studio Productions?

Ok, What do you have under the hood? Computer that is.
I got a 900 Athlon with ATI Redeon All in Wonder.
It does a pretty good job of things.

Here's what I am considering in the very near future:
Please note, this is not a gaming machine, and my studio software/hardware is not compatible with the new AMD mobo, so no flaming on the graphics card, or the choice of AMD vs. intel ok?
Any thoughts?
- Antec SX1000 Server 400W PS Case
- Intel D850MVL P4/478 Audio
- Intel P4 2.0 Ghz SKT 400FSB
- CPU Fanx3 (two in back blowing, one in front of drives sucking)
- 80 G ATA100 7200
- 40 G ATA100 7200 (Existing HD)
- 36 G IBM 10,000 Internal Ultra 160 SCSI
- 12 G 7200 Ultra 160 SCSI External (Existing HD)
- 512M RamBus 800Mhz 256Mx2
- 52x CD-ROM (not planning on watching DVD's on this thing
) - Creative SB Live Audigy with Firewire IEEE 1394 for DV support
- ASUS AGP-V7100/2V1D Dual Monitor support Grfx Card.
- Windows ME
- X2 - Daewoo 15in LCD Flat Panel (I already have one)
- TDK VELO 24x10x40 Burn-Proof

You could save yourself a lot of money and just get the best video card on the market. Your computer has the same specs as mine (Dell Dimension XPS T600r ??). You might could use some more ram, but 256 is more than enough for gaming. A nice sound card could do wonders too. Something like a Creative SoundBlaster Live, or Turtle Beach card would be great.
I get my rough pricing from PCNATION.com
GeForce3 (origonal release) $300
256mb PC133 Kingston X2 $70
SoundBlaster Live 5.1 DD $70
$440 for a pretty conciderable boost in 'gaming' performance, depending on what you already have. What I'm getting at is ... don't waste money on stuff you don't need. You don't need a new case, motherboard, processor, hard drive, DVD/CD-RW or monitor (you've got the P991 flat CRT, eh? Me too, it ROCKS). Just buy what you need. But if you have problems, Dell is going to want you to first put the origonal stuff back in the computer, to rule out someone else's hardware being the problem. No biggie, just keep it in mind.
As far as the OS goes, Windows 98 still has the best support and performance for gaming. Windows 2000 works, but I get pretty lousy framerate in some games, due to bad OpenGL support, and weak Direct3D support. Unfortunately Win98 isn't an option anymore, but as nearly as I can tell, WinME does a fair job. I just don't like all the WinME crap that comes with it, yuck!
Oh, I guess I should mention that I'm a System Administrator for a large advertising agency. We use all Dells and Apples. I also do the same for the marketing departement of my university, but the pay isn't quite the same (: At the advertising agency I pretty much call all the shots, that pertain to computers. My slogan, "If it's more complicated than a toaster, and it plugs into the wall, it's my business."
