1.05 GHZ Bus Speed
160 GB + 40 GB + 40 GB External + 60 GB Network Drive
Win XP Pro SP 1
798 MB DDR
NVidia Nforce 6800 Overclocked w/ 128 mb DDR
ASUS K8N Motherboard

I would have to ask why your bus speed is 1.05GHz (very impressive btw) and your processor is operating at 1.08GHz.  Something doesn't match up.  And a REALLY odd amount of RAM as well....  I could see 768mb.

Mine is home-built:
MSI PTR880Neo mainboard with 800MHz FSB
Intel Pentium IV with HT running at 2.4GHz
1GB dual-channel DDR memory
NVidia GeForce 6800 GT with 256MB video memory onboard, running 8xAGP
120GB + 60GB + 60GB hard drives.  40gb is devoted to music; another 40gb is devoted to TV shows.
16x DVD+/-R-RW, 32x CD/RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-ROM
40x CD/RW, 52x CD-ROM
The case -- I can't remember what the brand is, but IIRC 420W power and 7 fans.
Windows 1: Windows XP Professional SP2 (programming/development/school)
Windows 2: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (programming/development)
Windows 3: Windows XP Home Edition SP2 (gaming)
Linux 1: Slackware Linux 10.1.

My GeForce cost over $400, but I think all told it was right around $800.

I don't see how you could have a FSB of 1.05GHz.  I don't believe it exists.  This is from a Google search about front-side bus speeds.  It specifically lists your model of processor -- AMD 2800+ -- operating at 2.08GHz.  The bus speed is listed as 166MHz.

A 50 pack of 4.7gig DVD's would save you 100$, but okay.

A 50 pack of DVD's themselves costs atleast 100 bucks, doesn't it? =/.

My Computer:
Intel Pentium 4 at 2.4GHz (Maybe it has hyperthreading, I don't know, but it was a huge upgrade from my 1.8GHz)
256 MB of RAM (VM is my friend)
120 GB hard drive (Again, VM is my friend)

Nothing too impressive, but it works. Runs WoW unimpressively.
