I'm certainly not gloating about my... well junk:

"Good" PC:
- Pentium III-EB 933MHz
- Gigabyte 6VX7-4X mobo (Via Apollo Pro 133A chipset)
- 512MB PC133 SD-RAM
- GeForce 2 Ti 64MB (it's only...five generations old)
- 80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7
- 20GB IBM Deskstar (I found it in some crappy Duron system being thrown out ^_^)
- Sony DDU1621 DVD-ROM drive (really a rebranded Lite-On)
- USB 2.0 PCI card (NEC controller)
- Crappy 17" Gateway EV700 CRT monitor - getting darker every day!
- Win98SE/Win2k/Ubuntu 5.10

AV stuff:
- 14" Hitachi CRT TV (UHF only as it was bought in the UK, so useless for cable here - handy for monitoring VHS captures though)
- Crap JVC HR-J595EK VHS VCR (only good thing about it is the heads are new and clean)
- Yamada DVD-6500X DVD/MPEG4 player
- Sony CMT-CPX11 MP3 CD hi-fi
- '91 Pioneer A-P710 component hi-fi (I plug the PC into the "LD" inputs)

Now I have a real job for 7 months I can hopefully afford a real PC!

(EDIT - 7 months later)...And I did :
- Core 2 Duo E6300
- MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition (i975X chipset)
- 2x512MB PC2-4200 DDR2 RAM
- GeForce 7600GT 256MB
- NEC ND-3520AW DVD burner
- Pinnacle PCTV Stereo (Philips SAA7134) capture card
- WD Caviar 320GB HDD
- Dell P991 19" Trinitron
- Windows XP Pro SP2/Kubuntu 6.10
- Maxtor External 300GB USB/FireWire HDD
