For my core I'm using some existing hardware.

Disk-wise it's got a 250G IDE drive and a couple of 80GB sata drives which are currently striped. Still not sure what to do here, i'll probably make a decision once I see what LMCE's raid capabilities are like.

RAM: 2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TwinX DDR2

GFX: Nvidia 9300 onboard mobo

HDD: 1TB Hitachi Deskstar
