I've up-graded somewhat. The machines you saw here in 2003 - 2004 have been junked.
I keep the text on the old ones around at the bottom. Here's my current network:
Aslan
is the network name of my day-to-day working compy. Aslan (named for the Lion
in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia series) is
AMD Duron - 800MHz (advertized as a Duron 2200, I guess that has nothing to do with speed).
512M DDR RAM
40G HD: 10G system & 30G data partitions (NTFS)
100G HD: 10/30G (NTFS) backups of primary drive, 4G swap (FAT16), 15G (FAT32) CD temp, 35G (NTFS) Storage partitions
NVIDA GeForce FX 5500 with 128M

Win 2000
Abelard
is the LiNUX box I keep in the basement for serving up html and scripts on
the local network in order to test them before deploying them to the live server. Named for
Peter Abelard.
Fedora Core 4
Pentium 3 - 533MHz
256M 128-pin RAM
12G HD
The old systems were:
Aslan
is the name of the target of one of my hobbies. In
the meager amount of what I jokingly call my "spare

in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia series) is
the network name for the

Win NT 4.0
Puzzle,
named for the donkey in The Last Battle (
the concusion to the above Chronicles) is the
machine I actually do my projects upon. Greater
in speed and memory than Aslan – but inferior in disk
space – Puzzle is
Pentium 133
96M 72-pin RAM
2G HD
Win 2000
No, I'm not oblivious to the idea that these machines are completely antiquated.
But the fact of the matter is that I use these as tools, not as video game
or movie-watching machines, and they're completely adequate to that end.
