Tornado is a Compaq Presario 1610 notebook.

• Processor: an Intel Pentium 150 with Multimedia Extensions (MMX). The system is PCI bus with 256k cache and a Triton TX chipset. 
• Memory: The system is maxed out at 96 MB of SDRAM.
• Disks: a 4.8 GB IBM Travelstar, and the ubiquitous floppy and CD-ROM drives. I upgraded from the original 1.6 GB Fujitsu (yes, you can upgrade a notebook).
• Display: a Neomagic 128XD chip, with a 12.1 inch Dual scan Display.
• Tornado is on the LAN with a Orinoco Gold 802.11b card. It also has a Lucent Technologies modem installed for when it is not connected to my LAN. 
• Currently it is running a install of Windows 98,  with  Microsoft Office, and the other usual odds and ends on it. I have a Debian Partition too but don't use it much
• Though it shows its age, this machine has served me very very well.

Hades is a homebuild system assembled from scratch.
The mainboard is a ASUS K7M bearing a Slot-A Athlon Thunderbird at 1000MHZ
Naturally, this requires serious cooling... and it has some. I recently added a Alpha 3725 dual fan heatsink with two 60mm YS-Tech fans to keep this beast cool..
There is 512 megabytes of PC-133 SDRAM on the system
Storage includes:

1 IBM 60GXP ATA-100 (40 GB) (dying and replaced)
2 Western Digital WD800JB (80 GB)
1 Plextor Ultraplex 40x CD-ROM
1 Yamaha CRW-4416S 4 x 4 x 16 CD-RW drive
1 HP Surestore 2000 DDS(DAT) SCSI tape drive
1 Iomega ZIP-100 SCSI drive
1 NEC 3.5 floppy drive

Hades has a Asus V3800 Pure (Nvidia Geforce DDR with 32 MB on card) for its display and a Creative Sound Blaster 5.1 to play sounds.

It is connected to the LAN with a Linksys 10/100 ethernet card.

The UPS sitting beside it is an APC SMART UPS 1000

The whole system is in a gray Chieftec case with a side window (but no cold cathode yet)

Hades runs Windows XP Professional..

Mainly I use it to play games and do extensive video processing of streams captured from my TiVo. I also use it to program my radios and do some other miscellaneous tasks best done with a Windows system.

Traveler is an Intel Celeron 400 on a FIC motherboard. It has 768MB of RAM.

Storage is provided by two IDE Hard drives (an 8.4 GB Maxtor and a 6.4 GB Seagate).  There's the standard floppy and an old warhorse Sony 4x CD-ROM. 

The system video is a old STB Velocity 128 with 4 mb on the card. 

Network tasks are handled by another trusty Linksys 10/100 card.

For listening to music, there is an old AWE64 installed. I moved my WinTV over to this machine to actually use it.

Traveler is currently running Fedora Core 1plus patches.  I use Apache to serve my web pages and Postfix to handle my email.   I also use it as a workstation. It has a full X and Gnome installation.

I also make use of the Linux software RAID features on this machine and have a 10 GB RAID-0 striped between the two drives.  This system also monitors the APC UPS via a serial cable.

This machine has had all fans replaced with Panaflo L1As so it is near-silent in operation.

For experimentation and general hacking/horsing around, I rescued Shiva from a life of crime!
(satellite signal piracy, if you must know, and no, I was not the pirate so please don't sue me)

Shiva is a Dell Pentium 200 MMX with 48 MB of RAM installed. Slow, but perfectly usable.

This machine is all SCSI. It has two old and slow but stable SCSI-2 hard drives installed with a Plextor CD-ROM on an Adaptec 2940UW. Naturally the obligatory floppy as well.

It has a trusty but aging Matrox Millenium as video, built-in sound, and yet another Linksys 10/100 card to network it.

Right now I am using it as my UI-View APRS system, providing me with a overview of the local activity of APRS in my area. I usually use it with EchoLink as well.

I mostly use this system for experimentation with Linux distributions and the like though.

The top little white box is my Trend 5 port 10/100 Switch. 

Finally it is maxed out.

The large black box in the middle is my Belkin KVM that switches my keyboard, monitor and mouse between Traveler, Hades, and Shiva. It has 4 ports though I am only using 3 at the moment. 

The nice blue box is my Netgear RT311 router/NAT box. 
The gray box on the floor is the Fujitsu/Orckit DSL modem that talks to Verizon.
It gets a nice RED cable because BADDIES live on that side.
The UPS is an APC SMART-UPS 1000 that protects all of this stuff. 
The partially-visible printer is a Canon S400.  This replaced my Epson Stylus 440 that died due to terminal printhead stoppage.  Its a nice inexpensive USB printer that has individually replaceable ink tanks and removable/replaceable printheads. 
The headphones are an extremely well-worn pair of Pioneer SE-72s.
Not pictured is the Orinoco Access point (a recent addition) or an additional 8 port Trend 10/100 Switch.
 

You have what on your LAN? Isn't that thing just a fancy VCR?

Well, TiVo is more than a VCR ever could dream to be. No more programming, you tell your TiVo what you want and it will record it for you ever time, barring emergencies or wars breaking out. It must really be experienced yourself to understand entirely.

TiVo is a Digital Video Recorder made by Philips (a TiVo Series 1 model HDR-212)
It has a 50 mhz PowerPC processor and 16 MB of RAM
Video storage is provided by a 120 gig + 80 gig Maxtor ATA drive giving it 250 hours of storage capability at basic quality (and 120 at normal quality)
TiVo runs a customized version of the Linux operating system as modified by TiVo Incorporated with further modifications by yours truly.

I have added a Turbonet Network adapter, two large hard drives, TivoWeb and Extractstream to the unit.

None of this would be made possible without the hackers that developed all of this stuff before I had ever even heard of TiVo. TiVo hackers and fans hang out at the TiVo Community Forum. The true TiVo hackers that deal with Video Extraction can be found at DealDatabase. Fight the IP cartels and exercise your rights to quality TV programming.
