    Mine's a Pentium MMX 266 with 128Mb of RAM, a 5Gb hard disk, an ol' Soundblaster, some cruddy 3dfx GPU, an Ethernet card, etc; and a lovely stylish steel case....in beige.

    It is affectionately known by all as "The Turd". :D

    And you need the patience of Buddha to use it.

    Not me personally, but used to be my family's only computer. Now displays the notices in the foyer of my church. Pentium 133, Windows 98, 1GB hard drive. That's about all I can remember about it. Rock solid, never missed a Sunday's work. It might be going into retirement soon, when we upgrade our entire tech system. It will be sorely missed.
