I now run an Athlon XP1700+ 256Mb ram, approx 70 Gb HD, GEForce 2 32MB. Screen: Diamond Pro, huge.

I have three fans in my case and it sounds like a jet engine. Darn noise !

In the summer, it overheated. I installed air conditionning in the house and now, it doesn't overheat.

Wow, this is gonna show the difference in age between us. I also had a TRS-80, but I was about 5 yrs old. My dad got the very first model, 4k of ram. Used to work with a cassette player. I still remember the command CLOAD BASEBALL and because the baseball game was at the end of the tape, I had to go through about 30 mins every time I wanted to play baseball.
