My desktop is a couple years old now (late 2007), but-
Gateway GM5457
AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual core 6000 3.0 Ghz
4 Ghz RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
Vista 32
640 Gig HD
Blue Ray disc player/CD/RW burner
23.5" Acer Wide Screen/HD monitor
Logitech 518MX gaming mouse

The box keeps chugging along and plays all my games and does everything I ask it to. It was fast, cheap, and like my gaming buddy who recommended it to a non-computer builder like me said, easy to work on. Vista's run great, actually.

The other computer is my laptop-
HP/Compaq Presario CQ70-120US
17.0-inch Diagonal WXGA plus High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display, 1440 x 900 resolution
2.00 Ghz Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile Processor T3200 with 1MB L2 Cache
3072MB DDR2 System Memory
250GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive
LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support
Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN

Big bright screen....Very nice.
