Here's the details from me:

3 main machines:

1 P4-3GHz running with NVidia 128mb graphics and 1Gb RAM. Runs XP very
nicely. Mostly used for surfing, university work, flight sim, etc
1 Dual Core - 768Mb RAM running Ubuntu Dapper - main Linux console
1 Mac Mini (10.4 Tiger) - where I do most of my web and graphics work.

The "cluster":

8 end-of-life PCs ranging from P1-150 with 12Mb RAM "up to" Celeron 466 with
128Mb RAM. All run Slackware 7.1 and lam-mpi-6.5.9 This allows one
program to be shared amongst the 8 nodes in the cluster. Quite useful for
running simulations - not that I really do much other than tinker with the
code - I'm learning how to program in parallel.

Bits I should really dump:

2 Sparcs (one Sparc5, one Ultra) running Solaris 8 and 9. Nostalgia
really - used them while learning CompSci back in the early 1990s
1 iMac Blue circa 2000 running OS9.2.2 - now defunct courtesy of the mini

Cheers
