Your computer rig?

What's your main machine?

I'm typing this from my ThinkPad T40. That's the main PC I use. I like it because it's not super fast so I don't get too far ahead of what others are using and it's portable.

But behind me here is my Dell G4 which is a 3.6 Ghz monster with 2 gigs of RAM and 400 gigs of hard drive space, ATI X800 Pro. That's my gaming rig. Next to it I have a 2.8 Ghz machine that I use Multiplicty on (unreleased Stardock product we're working on that you can find here https://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/) to control both at once.

I passed alot of the older machines on to my relatives, and finally forced myself to get rid of all my hoarded, parts and boneyard equipment.
I keep these machines as they all serve some purpose in the house. I use the older Dell Lappy and Compaq 550 as MP3 Servers (handy to tuck under Stereo in Cabinet) The 850 Serves as a workstation in the Living Room, and is the Family Machine, The HP 2.6 is my Carry Around,and they GreyBox 2.0Ghz does all my downloading and workhorse work. I only have 2 monitors, so everything is mostly accomplished Remotely.
