I just picked up a Dell refurb "work laptop", so I can manage artwork a little easier wherever I am.  I carry a portable HD with me and run sync software between machines so at any given point I should have at least 3 versions of all my important files.

Dell XPS L702X with:

Intel Core i7-2630QM processor (2.00 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz)
640 GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
Blu-ray Disc Combo (DVD+/-RW + BD-ROM)
17.3in FHD WLED AG (1920x1080)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M 1GB graphics with Optimus

Would have been nice to have an SSD for the OS but the Dell outlet is limited on what they have and you gotta jump quick to catch something!

I LOVE the outlet deals, there is a lot of computer to be had for not a lot of money. That looks like a pretty nice laptop!

Sony Viao

Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz

3 Gigs of RAM

17" screen plus a 32" plasma screen on the side  :D

Recently had to modify the power plug.... Damn thing finally just wore out...

Ended up using some RCA jacks I found around the house. Worked pretty good!!

You all will get a kick out of this....... I don't know all the details of our system, I know it is HUGE. My IT team is very good!! 4 servers with terabytes of stuff.......workstations everywhere, all custom built for specific use.

Anyway.......one day, all artists were in a meeting in the art area. We looked at the film printer as it was printing film and realized no one had pushed print. I suddenly realized that one of my artists was on the way to New York on vacation and had a flight on Virgin airlines (with WIFI) and taken her laptop. She was running films for her jobs at 40,000 feet over St Louis. (I guessed that a 6 hour flight to New York was boring......LOL)

I love technology.............

My home rig's old now ( some parts were 'old' when they were new )
AMD Athlon X2 5200+ ( 2.71 ghz )
Asus m2n-e motherboard
Asus nvidia 9800GT Ultimate 512 ( factory overclocked 725/1750/2000 )
4 gig Corsair Ram ( 3.5 accessible, with the 512meg on the vid card, I still run XP 32bit )
Two 250gig ( seagate? western digital? ) drives, first split in half, second is pagefile, data backup and general crap.
Corsair 520w power supply ( high amps on the 12v rail, can't remember the number atm )
etc.
Stuffed it all in an Antec 900 case.
Good rig, use it for work and play.

at work I run a mac  G5tower ( pre-pro) with dual 2.5 ghz. Risc based Power PC chips. 8 gigs ram, It has a ata drive but I'm running dual 500 gig Scsi raid array drives, ATI Radeon 9550 running dual 21" Diamondtron Nf Pro 2040 CRT monitors..

I just got a  17"Macbook pro i7 Quad core 2.3 with the upgraded 9500 RPM drive and HD antiglare monitor.. 12 gigs ram. I plug it into a 24" LCd by viewsonic.

Now that I have some extra cash from a recent gig I'm looking at the 12-core Mac pro towers...

Holy smokes! Sounds like something you'd have to wear a radiation suit or pressurized flight suit around . . .  :P

At work I have a brand new Quad core Mac G5 with 8 gig of ram, Eizo 24" monitor and a regular 22" Acer monitor on the side for panels.
At home, I have 20" iMac (6 years old) ready to be replaced and a chepo PC (stands for PIECE of CRAP) to run embroidery software and print seps in the basement.
I cant wait to get some extra money so I cold get spiced up 27" iMac next fall.

Got tired of my slow desktop so went ahead and built a new PC.  I haven't done this in years, but I'm tired of Dell's reliability even though their service is great.  The laptop just had the screen replaced under warranty.

So I picked my nerd-friends brains and this is what I ended up building:

AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6ghz Quad core processor
16gb RAM
120gb SSD (regular hard drives are so expensive right now because of flooding)
PNY ge-force 520 1gb cheap video card for multiple display awesomeness
23" LED backlit monitor

It's a beast!  Just need to install the rest of my programs and get it crankin'!
