It's not very good at the moment, my motherboard is a bit shit and isn't allowing me to upgrade my CPU, also I want more ram and an external hard drive. But it runs most games to a reasonable standard. Also, as of two days ago, I have a job to support said upgrading

I have a Packard Bell iMedia SL 9553.
It comes with a 2.59GHz Pentium 4 processor, 256mb DDR2 RAM, 40Gb HDD and ATI's Sapphire onboard graphics with Sigma-tel onboard sound too.
I've upgraded it to 2GB DDR3 RAM, a faster CD drive, a 180GB secondary HDD and an ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 series 256mb Graphics card, AGP slot. That was about 6 years ago, when the computer was already old.
I've been enjoying some Black & White 2 on low graphics at 25fps; some Unreal, UT99 and UT04 at 100, 80 and 45fps, in that order; and some 35fps Medieval 2: Total War on this hunk of shit computer I use.
Once my exams are over I'll be continually looking for a job until, well, I get one, simple as that. I will then save up for a new computer. It's funny really, that someone who knows their way around computers of many types like the back of their hand hasn't had a new computer in the last 10 years.
EDIT: Here's a video of mine from years ago. It's got my computer in it, which you can see at 11 seconds:
Wow, I hadn't even finished school then - and here I am doing a degree!

I won't go into details but I got a new PC last Christmas and it was the first PC I had assemble together (with help from my Uncle and mate) since my old 2005 was slow as hell.
The total cost of the new pc was abit cheaper cos I got a graphic card (Radeon Sapphire HD6670) for free as the 2nd price reward in this competition. I was very lucky and greatful for that reward as the overall result is that I can play games like Diablo 3, Supreme Commander and Guild Wars 2 with no problems at all.

ASRock cheap mobo thing
i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz, undervolted, aftermarket heatsink
8gb G.Skill DDR3 1600mhz
Sapphire HD6870
Corsair TX-750 V2
OCZ 60gb SSD, 2tb of other various HDDs
Blu-ray reader
Antec 1100 (biggest cheapest case i could get).
Just have it running through my 40" TV with a little 22" monitor next to it for now.
Beast enough to max most games, and considering that's all it gets turned on for, it works well now.
Thinking of selling the blu-ray reader and a 1tb HDD soon to fund a better keyboard.
Otherwise i have a 15.4" laptop i bought for $470 when my other one died a few months ago.
It has no balls at all, but internets and musics and torrents well.

2.66GHz @ 3.2GHz core2 i6750
4GB DDR2 RAM
GeForce 8800GT, ~15% OC
2.5 TB total storage.
FUCK YEAH!
Well, maybe not, but it's 5 years old and still keeping up just fine.
5 years and 99% uptime, only shutting it off for cleaning and involuntarily because of moving and power failures, etc.
Still running as if it was new.

I'm running an Asus G73J, which I got just under two years ago. Works pretty well as long as I remember to clean out the fans.
Specs, as far as I can gather from looking at the stickers under my keyboard:
i7 running at approximately 3GHz
8GB RAM
2X 500GB HDs
ATI mobility radeon 5870 graphics
works pretty well, gonna upgrade to a custom desktop when I settle down somewhere on a more permanent basis.

I use a 3 year old laptop that costed around ?500 ($630). Recently I discovered I was able to play Diablo 3 in high settings (except for AA)... Not much, I know, but honestly... I got so happy I could just kiss Blizzard.
I mean... It's a 3 year old cheapass LAPtop!! What more could I ask for?

P8P67 Motherboard
12GB of Corsair HyperX RAM [Think it was Corsair anyway if not, eh]
Standard CD/DVD drive. No idea what brand.
Intel core i7 2600K OCd to 4.4Ghz, 4.8 occasionally for sh**s and giggles.
OCZ 1000W Power Supply, don't ask me the model.
Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Gb * 2 in SLI
Several assorted 8 year old HDs I'm going to get around to replacing sometime.
Thermaltake Chaser Mk-I
Monitor is 2650*1440 LED, can't be bothered finding the brand.
Got a bit of work to do on it yet, but it serves well enough for now.

Q6600 Processor, overclocked at 3.0 GHz on a
Gigabyte DS-4 Motherboard
Overclocked Geforce 8800 GT providing the "sparkles"
All of those fitted with HUGE Coolers, Fans and Heatpipes. Fixed with Liquid-Metal Pads.
4 GB DDR2 RAM
Win 7 64 on a SSD Disk (Time to boot up until reaction to input was about 12 seconds, when it was new.. it's down a bit from that now)
And overall about 560 GB HD
Now, it may seem a bit "old and rusty"(tm) to you guys. But i designed and build that thing myself FOUR YEARS ago... and it still keeps up.
The whole thing is in a featureless huge black tower. It is named "Böses Schwein", german for "Evil Pig", or better "Evil Hog"
Only thing changed was Win 7 and the SSD two years ago. No Damages, no Viruses, kept it maintained, fast and smoothly running for this long. Like i did with all my PC's before. (It runs nearly 24/7. I am proud of it *g* But yeah... plans for a new one will be made soon enough.

Mine has a high voltage/danger of death sticker on it hehe.Death Carr said:
Otherwise, I have a laptop of mediocrity (2.3GHZ, 4GB RAM and an okay mobile graphics card). A netbook (For wordprocessing that I can flop in ma bag - 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM) and a Raspberry Pi.
I mainly console game so it's fine =D On PC I just have a mammoth Steam library of 150 odd indie games and GW1 and GW2.
