I think it might be fun to see what kind of system people use. I'll start with myself:
PentiumIII 800
GeForce2 MX
128MB RAM

Homebuilt...
Pentium IV 1.7 GHz
256 MB RDRAM
60 GB HDD
GF3
SB Audigy Gamer

I just built it last August, and saved a lot of money doing it myself, that's for sure. I will never buy from a computer manufacturer again.

Homebuilt also:

P4 2.0G
512M RDRAM
GF3
80 G Drive
Audigy Platinum

P3 1,0GHz
256 Mb RAM
GF3
40 Gb HDD

Bought and paid for - I haven't really the skills needed to build on from scratch.

I hate you guys;) I want a GeForceIII too. :(

Go to www.pcmech.com when you need a new computer, they have a pretty good step-by-step guide to making your own and the cost savings are enormous.

Well, I wish I waited...I bought my GF3 in january and the GF4 came out in march.
Next time I'll read the video hardware articles in more detail.
The GF3's will be coming down to rock-bottom prices pretty soon.
