    What? For an unemployed musician, that's as close to a work computer as I have right now. :3

    I'm going to have to say see my sig, I'm a student thus this is my multi-purpose PC.

    Though the closest thing to a work computer would be the PC's in the computer labs, which are all core 2 duo's currently with 22" Iiyama Full HD Monitors. Such a shame that the network they are connected to is beyond awful! For a top university (Durham) the IT department (named ITS) are feckless half wits. That's the impression I get atleast as the system goes does once a week and every single time results are realised, oh and they managed to spread a virus out through there own email system too during the summer holidays(we were advised to use it until told otherwise, however being summer and many miles away the only contact that had with use was through email... go figure).

    Sorry about the little rant there

    My uni computers are C2D 6300, 3GB, onboard graphics, XP.

    considering I study 3D animation thats a bit of a joke tbh. I'm so glad i have my rig when it comes to render time. You see people in the lab with 6 machines batch rendering, asleep under the desk (if you go in late)!

    Luckily my group mate for this final module got me to build him at 1090t, 8GB, 460gtx at christmas, so we'll probably have half the render times of some others.

    I love having a rig that works that much better than uni computers.

    Friends of mine were waiting a couple hours for calculations on Matlab to complete, stupidly they were using their own laptops too which meant even longer!

    I didn't do this module though (Finite Element Analysis - No thanks, I got bored after analysing 2 elements...) so it would have been interesting to see how fast my rig did it

    Also got a Motion Computer LE1700 tabletPC I use for auditing computer hardware which is going for disposal, made a nice interface with big old icons to its easy to use :p

    Nice to see another Citrix user in the mix too - we use the S30's mostly but a few other types too like the Xenith's

    Dell Inspiron E5500 laptop, Core 2 duo P8700 (2.53ghz), 4gb RAM, 250gb 7200rpm drive, DVD-burner, nice glassy 15.4" screen, although I connect it into a dock and have a Dell 2009W 20" widescreen (not the best colour reproduction but its 1680x1050 at least) and a Dell E198FP 19" 4:3 (1280x1024) so I can work with two screens.

    Network engineer so 20% of my time isn't at my desk, and need the lightweight and long battery laptop to sit in a datacentre with.

    At the moment I have an HP XW8400 with a single Xeon E5320 and 2Gb of RAM with a Quadro FX 3500 graphics card and a 130Gb SAS hard drive.

    I have just finished speccing up the replacement and that will (hopefully) be a Lenovo Thinkstation D20 (we are limited to HP, Dell and Lenovo branded machines) with 2 x Xeon E5620 CPUs and 4Gb of RAM (that will be upgraded as needed) with GeForce GTX580 graphics (the decent Quadro cards were silly price) and a 500Gb SAS hard drive.

    Should be enough to keep AutoCAD ticking over for another 3 years or so.
