What Are Your PC Specs?
So recently I built my own PC, as you may have seen in my recent discussion. Therefore, I decided to make this poll where you can share the specs of your current computers, whether it's a custom build or a pre-built PC. I'll start with the specs of my two PCs...

Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Memory : 32676MB (4x8gb @ 1600mhz)
Mother Board : DELL 7020 No.02YYK5
Windows Version : Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Monitor : 2x 27" LG IPS
Video Adapter : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Mouse : Corsair M65
Keyboard : logitech G213
Disk Drive : HDD WDC WD1003FZEX-00MK2A0 (931GB)
Disk Drive : SDD TOSHIBA Q300 (447GB)
DVD/CD-ROM Drive : NONE
CASE: NXZT 340S
CPU: Intel Core i5-6300HQ CPU (2.3GHz)
Memory: 8GB
Motherboard: ASUS ROG GL552VX
OSes : Windows 10 Home 64bit, Ubuntu 17.04 (i think 64-bit)
Monitor: Doesn't have one, it's a laptop
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950.
Primary Master: 128GB hard drive(don't know if it's hdd or sdd)
Primary Slave: 1TB hard drive(again, don't know if it's hdd or sdd)
Secondary Master: DVD / CD drive that doesn't work. yay.
Model: TurboX Black (laptop)
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Processor: Intel Pentium N3540 @ 2.16GHz
Memory: 4GB (3.9 usable)
GPU: Intel HD Graphics
Storage: 465GB (90.1GB used)
The primary master is an SSD and the primary slave is likely an HDD. I'm not aware of an 128 GB size for HDDs (only 120 and 160) but there are quite a few SSDs promoted as such.
You have a laptop that doesn't have a monitor? That's unique. When it comes to laptops, the monitor is the built in display. As for your drives, the 128GB drive would be an SSD (where your OS should go) and the 1TB drive would be your HDD.
Why would you need a separate computer to do video editing on? Because I'm sure you can do those type of tasks on one PC. But yeah, it's probably rather manageable to have an alternate piece of hardware to do tasks like editing videos, which may sometimes include making even 1 or 2GB videos.
Didn't you once say that you got a Commodore 386SX-25?
oh, i was thinking about those monitors that you plug in to your computer, not those screens that come attached with your laptop, so now i have to change that. yay.
I have it setup like that mainly because I don't like using Windows 10 as a daily driver OS for various reasons (I really don't want to explain why, because there are already enough threads about the problems of that OS and I don't want to get in trouble for derailing this thread), and I plan on upgrading that video editing rig to a Kaby Lake Core i5 CPU which only supports Windows 10.

That's my main desktop. I also have a 486 that runs 24/7 next to it running various O/S off drive caddies. I actually use the 486 almost as much, actually recently even more than the Core 2 at times.
486 SPECS

O/S: Depends on the caddy
CADDY 1 - 15GB - MS-DOS 6.22/Windows For Workgroups 3.11 (one I use the most)
CADDY 2 - 80GB - Windows 95 OSR2
CADDY 3 - 80GB - TBD, has DOS/WFWG on it now from a video I was making
MOST USED SOFTWARE: Graf-X II, Adventure Game Studio 2.3.3, Cakewalk 4.5, Presto Arranger, DiDaPro, Netscape Composer 4.08, Kompozer, SeaMonkey (95, Toastytech hacked) - I actually use that for quasi-modern browsing on this machine, I've also used Roxio to burn a few things. I use VirtualCDROM for CD games in 95 like Diablo and Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist in talkie.
It also has a vintage PC-TRAC trackball, Chicony 5661 XT/AT keyboard, and a Micron 15" SVGA CRT, though sometimes I use my older 1988 NEC MultiSync II with it. Just like the 10 machine, it runs 24/7.
Computer: HP 8300
Processor: Intel Core i5-3470
Clock speed: 3.5 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Optical drive: DVD-RW
Hard drive: 500 GB 3.5" internal SATA
Monitor: AOC, 1920x1080x32, has some color issues
OS: Windows 10, and if you count my virtual setups, a whole damn lot.
Primary Machine
HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Quad Edition
CPU: Intel Core i7-3720QM @ 2.6GHz (4 cores, 8 threads)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT630M
RAM: 1x8GB DDR3
SSD: 128GB OCZ 2.5" SATA
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 2.5" SATA
Optical: BD-ROM Drive
Display: 17.3" 1600x900, horrid viewing angles, horrid scaling, horrid glossy, horrid colors
Runs pretty hot, has a 70-ish WHr battery that doesn't last long at all and a 90W power supply that gets hot AF.
Backup Machine
HP Compaq 8710w Mobile Workstation
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7800 @ 2.6GHz (2 cores, 2 threads)
GPU: Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M
RAM: 2x2GB DDR2
SSD: 256GB Samsung 840 EVO 2.5" SATA
Optical: DVD+/-RW, lately does not read or burn DVD's, luckily it is easily replaceable by removing one screw, will purchase a replacement drive someday.
Display: 17" 1680x1050, not amazing (especially considering most models of this shipped with a 1920x1200 display), but better overall than the dv7t's garbage display.
Runs not as hot, still gets toast. Has a crap ton of USB 2 ports, like seriously about 6. Also full size HDMI, just great on ports. Has a similar battery and power supply to the dv7t, but the battery lasts much longer, probably has to do with the CPU being 35W on the Compaq and 45W on the Pavilion. One advantage the Compaq has over the Pavilion is that the Compaq's WiFi card is able to pick up 5GHz signals, while the Pavilion's cannot. Sounds backwards, I know, but that's HP for you.
I really want to get my hands on a recent Thinkpad, a T480, T580, P52, or X1E/P1 would be a great laptop to have. Might also look into buying something like an X270 for the portability alone.
