And I'm using a beige Power Mac G3 desktop with:
266MHz PowerPC G3 with 512K of backside cache
96MB RAM
32MB ATI Nexus 128 video card, in addition to the built in 2MB ATI Rage 
II video.
Internal 4GB HD, external 9.1GB SCSI LaCie HD.
24x CD-ROM
Built in 10Base-T ethernet, never used it though...
56k modem(which never seems to connect above 33.6k).
Built-in sound
Some fairly good external speakers and a really cheap stereo headset.
14" VividView color monitor on my left, 17" Apple Multiple Scan monitor 
in front.
A ScanMaker V600 scanner.
And running Mac OS 9.0.4. LinuxPPC is also installed, but hasn't been 
booted up for several months...

I'm also hoping to get a CD-RW drive for my birthday, in a couple days...
