I've posted my specs before, but I just bought a GeForce 6600 GT and I thought I'd put in what I hope to have in the next few months:
(some included from old system)
AMD 2700 XP 2GH (overclocked) (original)
1 GB Corsiar DDR 3200 400MHz (overclocked)
2x Hitachi SATA 80GB (7200, 8MB cache), RAID 0 Configuration
120GB Seagate (7200rpm) (original)
XFX 6600 GT AGP (overclocked)
480V PSU, dual fan
Like others have said, newegg.com rocks your socks.
MWAVE is definitely good stuff too.
You could also try pricewatch.com, they price compare MANY online computer resellers, so you can find the cheapest piece of silicon for your buck (minus breast implants).

Abit Motherboard (Not checking the model right now)
AMD Athalon 64 3000+ running at only 1.84GHz usually
1024 MB RAM
Just under 300 GB of hard drive space (discluding the OS partition)
Onboard sound for TV output
ALS4000 soundcard (basically crap, but better than onboard) for music and gaming
Klipsch 2.1 speakers (not checking for the model, but they were still in production as of a few months ago)
ATI Radeon x800 Pro running either dual-monitor or monitor and tv outputs at any time
GF2MX that stays unhooked in case of need for dual-monitor and tv outputs
Win XP Pro
Virtual machines running various OSes from Debian Linux to Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003
Linksys 10/100 ethernet card (don't feel like checking the model)
Onboard ethernet in case of ethernet card failure and to more easily monitor connections
Single CD/DVD-Burner
Generally 4 Virtual CD/DVD drives running ripped images
Edit: 3 GB -> 300 GB, big typo...

My computer = slow as molasses going uphill on a winter day.
Too many viruses, too much spyware, and i run a cleanup every day to get rid of them all.

:S what OS are you running
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 8:42 pm
if OS means "online security" then its norton firewall 2003, and notron antivirus 2005.
if you all suggest something different, i dont care, because this computer isnt worth the investment. i'm getting a new one before i head out to college so this one only needs to hold me another year.
all i use it for is viewing flash, playing DL, and e-mails.

you rich people and your nice computers 
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 6:10 am
9 computers, 7 of which are running at any given time. Rich? No. I just never throw computer parts away, and have the knowledge to put various pieces together. That, and some computers are hand-me-downs that have been scavenged and re-built.
