I'm too lazy to copy and paste but, as I'm on the move at the moment, my current specs can be found here

I also haved a desktop PC at home running Ubuntu, but have no chance of remembering the specs off the top of my head.

Processor: Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz LGA 771 80W Quad-Core (soon to have two)

Added a new toy to the computer eco-system today.

It was touch and go there for a bit but it turned out better then I had initially planned.

I have been wanting to upgrade my media box which was hooked to my tv for a while now, this weekend I took the plunge. I am now the proud pappy of media box 2.0.3*.

The baseline consists of a ASRock ION 330Pro The high points are the Intel® Dual Core Atom™ 330 and the NVIDIA® ION™ graphics processor.

It has a custom build of XBMC (Dharma Beta) on the front end with the Lucid Lynx (10.04) version of Ubuntu as it's core OS.

On top of that it also has a completely PHP/HTML back-end management system for all your media needs.

in no particular order...

Webmin, Apache http/php server, Transmission, Sabnzbd, Sickbeard, Couchpotato, Newznab and Subsonic to round it out.

I use a Joomla based php site to iframe redirect all the various pieces into a cohesive unit using drop-down menus.

As you can tell I am pretty proud of it, still have a few bugs to iron out but the tough stuff is done.

*The reason it is 2.0.3 is because 1.0 is my old desktop PC which has been doubling as my test bed it turned out so well I decided to keep it for my downstairs study.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66 GHz
4GB DDR2 800MHz
ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard
NVidia 9600GT
320GB + 250GB HDDs (SATA 3Gb/s)
Corsair HX-620w PSU
Creative i-Trigue speakers (though I use earphones these days because I live in a unit now)
Aguila case (I'll buy an Antec next time, I think... front door is hopeless)
Logitech Value Mouse and G15 keyboard (mouse is black - pretty much everything matches (though I wamt to switch the case fans for orange ones if I can find them (to match the v2 G15 I have).
22" BenQ FP222W (I've had a good run with this monitor - nearly three years and *still* don't have any stuck or dead pixels. My uncle's ViewSonic 22" has one and he's had his for a year less).

Dual-booting Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop (w/Server kernel) and Vista HP x64 w/SP1 (soon SP2). Gonna switch Ubuntu to 64-bit with the next release (I have a separate /home partition so this isn't an issue).
