Hello Everybody [Smile]
Just out of curiosity, what sort of Computer/PC do you use at home?

For me, Its a Mac PowerPC G4 (Mirror Drive Door) model.
On the left is a pic. of my set-up. [img=left]images/39.jpg[/img=left]The Tower normally sits on its own mini table, I only moved it up, for the purpose of the photo. The 17" screen is a BenQ FP71G+S, senseye.
It also has a: DVD/CD Recorder
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RAM, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
Hard Drives:-
Primary:
Capacity: 74.4 GB
Secondary:
Capacity: 232.76 GB
and a connected Canon iP4200 BubbleJet Printer, which prints color DVD labels on printable discs, similar to that of the originals.
And below is a brief description of the "Engine Room" as so to speak....

Like Kieran I also built all of mine myself

I have 2 of my own, and the girls both have one each, all wireless networked

My 2 are the same spec although cases are different, both Thermaltake, 1 is a Shark, other is a Xaser III both black:

P4 2.8 Hyperthread
1GB DDR Ram
1 x 300Gb and 1 x 120Gb hard drives
CDRW + DVDRW
GeForce 5900
Wireless keyboard and Mouse connected to both towers by KVM
Neovo 17" TFT

I did receive a lovely present of the Big Water Cooling kit, have yet to pluck up courage to install it in the main machine

The girls machines are similar, only 2.6 chips and minus DVDRW
