Athlon 1.1Ghz
128 MB RAM
30GB IBM HDD
Generic (Acer) 50x CD
32Mb GeForce 2
Keyboard, floppy drive
Excessively large case

Total around ~2.1K from one of the shops in Techno City. The above
hardware all comes recommended by me - and no, I don't plan to upgrade
again for a while; my previous box was a P200 and I was happy with it
for almost everything.
