I have noticed threads about posting your setup, and posting what your desktop looks like, but none about what hardware we GoGers game on, or what cases they are housed in(GOG can take this down if there is such a thread).It would be nice to find out if we lovers of old games really do have 'ancient' hardware, or just really old computers. Hopefully we haven't and the people who come here will realise we are not just people who play old games due to old hardware, but we play older games simply because, in most cases, they are better then new games.
If one does not know how to determine their hardware, please run 'dxdiag' in windows start menu. XP users click on run in the start menu, and a little box will pop up where you can type it in. For HDD info, simply go to my computer and right click on the HDD in use, and go to properties.For even more in depth info regarding hardware, I suggest using Speccy, which is still in BETA:

Mac and linux users, sorry I can't help you with this. :(
So, please list your details like this(the vendor name and speed of each component, like RAM, is optional):
Desktop:
Processor: AMD phenom II x4 955 BE @ 3.2ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon 5750, 512 mb GDDR5, vendor XFX
RAM: 1333mhz DRR3 crucial ballistix 4GB
PSU: Cosair 650W. Sli, crossfire supported, 80% efficiency
Motherboard: Asus M-EVO AM3
HDD 1: 500GB Western digital blue @7200rpm
HDD 2: 320GB, same as above
Case: Sunbeam Silent twister with three fans.
Note: Please do not copy paste your dxdiag. It makes for some awful, seriously long reading!
