Here is the basic spec sheet:
- Intel Northwood Pentium 4 3GHz
 - 512MB DDR-400 RAM
 - AOpen AX4SPE-UN (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DIMM, Audio, LAN) -- based around the Intel Springdale i865PE chipset
 - ATi RADEON 9600 Pro, 256 MB
 - Intel 82801EB ICH5 - AC'97 Audio Controller
 - Maxtor 6Y120M0 (120 GB, 7200 RPM, Serial-ATA/150)
 - Maxtor 6Y120L0 (120 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
 - ST380012A (80 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100)
 - SONY DVD RW DW-D22A
 - Logitech Keyboard and wireless mouse
 - HP PSC 1315 printer & scanner combo
 - Creative SBS260 speakers
 
Its a nice healthy computer. I added the two extra IDE HD's (the 120GB and the 80GB) myself to complement the storage.
The DVD-RW drive is listed as being:
- CD - 40x
 - CD-R - 40x
 - CD-RW - 24x
 - DVD-R - 8x
 - DVD-RW - 4x
 - DVD+R - 16x
 - DVD+RW - 4x
 - DVD+R DL - 4x
 
Its very snappy. Full CD in just a shade under 2.5 mins. I'm happy!
I'm planning to add an extra 512MB RAM (keeping the dual channel by getting two sticks of 256MB). Plus I want to get some cathode lights for the case. Any suggestions?
