Duron 1300
256mb PC100 RAM
K7S5A mobo
30gb Maxtor HD
4gb Quantum Fireball SCSI drive (probably 6/7 years old!)
Hyper-leet Voodoo 4
Plextor 48/24/48 (Thanks to recommendations from here)
ASUS CD-S520/A

Everything else is on-board or not worth mentioning.

My sound system is an old stereo connected to my computer via a car-kit tape adaptor thingy. I get maybe a 8-bit equivalent noise floor with it, so if I'm doing anything half-ways important (read: ABX testing), I use a pair of panasonic headphones I modified to fit inside my hard-hat's earmuffs for nice homemade cans. They cut most household noise down to maybe 20dB above my tinnitus level, although usually it remains below that level.

@takehiro - how are those DRU-500A - I've been thinking about getting one but I had a bad experience with Sony before so I've been a bit worried about trying another one.

anyone else feel welcome to comment on that one or the Pioneer A05.

I think I might have too many computers:

(...)

Fully working computers lying in the closet doing nothing:
- Dual P2-400 with 1 Gb ram and 20 Gb disk.
- Dual P2-266 with 256 Gb ram and 4x 30 Gb disk space.
- Dual Celeron 400 with 256 Mbram and 4x 30 Gb disk space.
- P2-350 with 128 Mb ram and 3 Gb disk
- Pentium 200 with 128 Mb ram
- HP Jornada 16 Mb

You could give this computers to e.g. poor childrens. Don`t forget to add http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/ as start page for browsers in preinstalled systems on these machines

That may be true for the 9800 Pro, but not for the All In Wonder 9800 (Pro). But if I'm wrong, let me know!

despite my previous post, I will jump in here (at least partially) anyways
Linux/*nix Box:
Super Micro full server Case
slightly older Asus Intel P4 MB (forget the exact model, the only P4 I own)
shitty onboard AC '97 sound
a 32 MB Hercules video card from my box of "spare parts"
A adequate 10 GB from my school days
an Asus 52x CD drive and my old 16x CD-RW (bumped when I upgraded to a 44x drive on main system)
a good Intel NIC that linux likes "out of the box"

currently running MD 9.1 but that has varied widely and I may try Woody out in the near future.

AMD 2600+
512 MB ram - for now.
nVidiaGeForce4  MX440 w/128MB on board ram.
AC '97 on board sound - for now. (Really leaning towards M-Audio something or another.)
120GB Main HD.
80GB Music file only HD.
LG CD-RW 40x10x40
LG DVD rom

Also on the wish list View Sonic 19" flat panel. Price is right, but there is always the thought that as soon as I get it, something better will come out next week for $20.00 more.
