AMD X2 4800+
Asus A8N-SLI Premium
4GB DDR400
74GB Raptor 10,000rpm x2 in RAID0
300GB Maxtor MaxlineIII x2
500GB Hitachi 7K500 x2 in RAID0
500GB WD RE2 x2 in RAID0
500GB + 300GB + 160GB external
Total Storage = ~3.38TB
16x Dual Layer DVD+/-RW
52x CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
nVidia 7800GTX 512MB
Soundblaster Audigy Plat.
Klipsch 5.1 Surround
Dell 2007FP
WinXP

I built this in Summer of 2005 minus the two WD RE2 and 500GB external drive which I added later.
I am hoping that this rig will last me a few more years before it is completely outdated and I feel the need to build a new rig that will last me another 3-5 years. I usually go all out and build a high-end machine when there is a huge leap in performance (over what I currently have) and next-gen specifications come out to try to future-proof my machine for as long as possible.

My previous 2001 built computer was the following (built around WinXP released):
Dual Processor AMD MP 1800+
1GB DDR266 ECC
Tyan K7 Thunder
80GB x2 in RAID0
60GB x2 in RAID0
160GB External
Kenwood 72x CD-ROM
4x DVD+/-RW
ATI Radeon 8500
Soundblaster Audigy Plat.
Klipsch 5.1 Surround
Sony GDM-F520
WinXP
