Box:
2.8 GHz P4
512 MB DDR (PC2700 I think, can't remember and not at home right now)
Can't remember anything about the HDD right now... Think it's a Seagate Barracuda 80 GB 
Yeah I've also thought about throwing a HDD in my old 800MHz Duron and use it as a render slave, but I just got out of the army and still live with my parents (at the frikin' age of 21 :angry: ) so I don't have too much room at the time...

Yeah I just read the test on CGTalk and I don't think I would even consider buying the 3000 if I could afford it!
