Considering that as a 'Webmaster' your computer is your main tool that enables you to earn money???

I am not boasting about anything... except getting a killer deal on a pretty decent box. Now.. the price total was $413 including next day air which ran me like $43. It was priced at $299 with $70 in rebates.
Considering that I am a "webmaster" and have been for many years now, my main computer has been an old dell with a 3.4 Ghz pentium 4 HT northwoods core socket468!!! 1.5GB DDR RAM, obviously NOT in dual channel mode. An 80 GB IDE HDD for OS I have a 320GB external for my files. Nvidia Geforce 6200 OC graphics 512mb couldn't use it for movies or games cause there were never any drivers that worked with that card. However web stuff worked well. I ended up switching to an old AGP Geforce 5200FX.
Anyway. That is my main computer, and it will continue to be that. Though I just got a great deal on an old core2duo laptop that I will work on now as well.
The one I just built will be my media center connected to my HDTV and so far it kicks ass. I will be using the 1.5TB HDD to sort my music, movies, pictures and such. Everything is networked and accessible from anywhere in the house.
Fuck all... my main computer for my first 4 years in this biz was an old compaq with a 466Mhz PIII and 256mb sdram... 40GB HDD... then an emachines with a 2.9Ghz celeron D.
NEVER had a problem doing my job.
