I will show you my gaming pc, which is not on the interwebs. I don't know all the specifications, but it has...

Celeron D 3.2ghz CPU
Asus ADI Radeon 256mb
Some form of Pioneer DVD-RW
80gb HDD
1GB ram
Dell 19" monitor with 4 USB PORTS!!!! =O

Seeing as I don't know what the case is or what the model of everything is, maybe I should post pics.

Oh yeah, and that whole package is refurbished, but it only cost $320 australian. I like it! :P

EDIT: I forgot the $10 keyboard, which says "Dell" on it, but I'm not sure... oh yeah, and it works perfectly. :D

That's not very good, especially if it's your gaming PC. 1GB of RAM is hardly enough to run Windows XP, and that's like half a decade old. A monitor with USB ports might have been useful a few years back, but I'd say that a USB hub would be just as useful and cost a bit less. An 80GB hard drive is very small by today's standards, and it's probably a slow access one (e.g., not 7200 RPM), though if you're not connected to the internet, I guess there's not much you can put on it. I guess that it might be a good deal for that price, but I'd suggest that, at the very least, you upgrade to 2GB of RAM. Also:
Asus ADI Radeon 256mb
It's ATI.

I currently have two different computers, both laptops.

MacBook (Mid-2008)
Intel Penryn 2.4 GHz processor, 800 MHz
4 GB DDR2 SDRAM
250 GB HD (partitioned into three logical partitions; I don't remember how large each is)
Intel Integrated Graphics (the Media Accelerator 945, I think? I'm not entirely sure, but I know it's Intel Integrated)
OSes: Logical partitions:
-Mac OS X 10.5.8, slightly modified for personalization (primary)
-Mac OS X 10.6.1, also slightly modded (test partition for compatibility)
-Windows XP SP3 (bluescreens on start; will be replaced with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
Virtual Machines:
-Windows XP (stored on third partition; Boot Camp enables access)
-Mac OS X 10.5.2 (slightly hacked for VMware compatibility)
-Mac OS X 10.6.0 (not working; frozen at aurora)
-Ubuntu 9.10 (VMware tools are not installed)
-Solaris (haven't touched this in ages)

Dell Mini 10v (base model, black)
Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor
1 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz
120 GB (partitioned into two logical partitions; one is 90 GB exactly, the other is about 23 GB once formatting is taken out)
Intel Integrated Graphics (despite the low GPU power, it's powerful enough to run Halo CE at a somewhat respectable speed (about 3 FPS, which is amazing for a netbook))
OSes:
-Mac OS X 10.5.8 (hacked using the DellEFI method for initial installation, now using patches from NetBookInstaller 0.8.3 RC4; might be replaced with OS X 10.6.2 using tea's kernel patch)
-Windows XP SP3 (very slow startup, going to be replaced with 7 32-bit ASAP)

Alright then, whatever. Just thought it would be worth mentioning. Also, I call it my gaming PC because I play games on it; it doesn't mean I'm running huge games like Fallout 3 and GTA IV. I use my bro's 360 for that. My PC is more for PC exclusive games...

Also, whoops! Ah well, at least everyone knows what I mean. :P (@ ADI radeon lol)

How much would it cost me to upgrade my comp's ram? I'm planning to get a portable hdd, so the ram would cost... how much?

http://memory-up.com/ should help you figure out how much a RAM upgrade will cost. If that doesn't work, try http://crucial.com/ instead.

Here's one of my old desktops:

Intel Pentium 3 - 500MHz
256 MB SD RAM
10 GB HDD
Windows XP Pro SP2
w/ 17" CRT Monitor - 1024x800
*pats computer*

Yes, I do use it. Even if I do only use it keep the dog from climbing underneath my bed.

For my laptop, which is good enough for what I use it for:

Intel Pentium Centrino T1350 @ 1.86GHz
2GB DDR2 RAM
120 GB HDD @ 5400rpm
Intel 945 Graphics - 256MB
12-cell Li-Ion battery (6-10 hrs with general use)

As if that isn't the most incredible computing specimen you've seen. :D
