I love getting new stuff. A couple of weeks ago we found a good price on a new laptop for the wife so we picked that up. Since her computer was better than mine I had to upgrade.

Hers...
HP Pavillion DV9000
AMD TurionX2 (Dual core)
1 gig DDR2 ram
100gig HDD
17"wide screen.
DVD/CD burner w/Lightscribe
Win XP Pro

Mine...
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 3800 (2.01ghz)
2 gigs (2 X 1 gig) OCZ memory DDR2 800mhz.
MSI K9N Platinum mobo (SATA2, RAID0 1 5, Nvidia570 chipset)
160 gig Western Dig SATA2 HDD
40 gig Seagate SATA HDD
NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT Vid card PCI-E. Dual DVI outs.
Same monitors... Dual HP 1730's
Win Vista RC1 Build 5600

Then I decided I needed a new laptop, which arrives tomorrow...
Averatec 2150
AMD Turion 64 1.6ghz
1 gig DDR ram
80 gig HDD
CD/DVD burner
12.1 inch wide screen.

I just wanted something portable that looked cool. I do my main computing on my main PC.

So my old PC became the new file server...
Intel P4 2.6ghz
1 gig DDR333
40 gig seagate HDD (O.S.)
(2) 250 gig WD HDD. RAID 1 (Mirrored) (DATA)

And the old server and laptop will go down to San Diego to live with the in-laws.

Dang, I love buying new stuff!
