Hardware
Here is my hardware collection: two low-end dual-core laptops, a Dell Workstation PC and two Green PCs rebuild from my old MaxData PCs. The HP Pavilion is my multimedia box containing all my music and videos. The Dell 1525 is my workhorse for doing work on the road and the AMD Athlon 5350 desktop is my favourite workstation.
