I have two MacBooks, the Pro and the Air. They are both quite nice, but in terms of what everyone else has, they don't even spit in the direction of the computers on this thread.
Lets all brag about our computers :D

5 years old, built with my own two hands, still plays modern games (albeit at medium detail). Just an AMD dual core with an NVIDIA 7950GTX and 2 gigs of RAM (oh, and a little over 3TB storage).
...I should build a new one, but I now have a problem with every version of windows on the market... and there's no point in upgrading for running Linux, I don't do much video compiling.

You guys got nothing on my computer. 2048MB Ram (recently upgraded), 2 GHz Intel Pentium processor, and the icing on the cake is my Intel Q35 Express Chipset Family integrated graphics card. It can run Morrowind! [sub]With only a few graphical artifacts![/sub]
To be honest though I'm lucky to have the thing at all. When I moved house a couple of years ago the computer was in a bin bag which also happened to contain a large bottle of bleach with an improperly secured lid. When I picked it up it actually leaked bleach all over me from inside the case. Yet I haven't had a major problem with it to this very day (other than, you know, it being a crap computer).

Thats it for now, im upgrading it slowly over this year, only the GPU's need changing now along with watercooling, i know everyones b***hing about bulldozer being a let down before anyone moans about it but lets face it a core 2 quad still kicks everythings ass so whats it matter if it doesn't bench as well as some I7's.

Standard DELL Inspiron, with a custom graphics card I added myself. It's pretty much the only bit of technical customisation I've ever done, so of course I felt like a god after I had it up and running Skyrim!
It cost me <£500 altogether, and runs everything on highest settings. It's good enough for me, and I've kitted it out with a 5.1 surround sound system, plus a Razer keyboard/ mouse/ mousemat.

MY computer has 12 steelseries stickers on it.. i suffer from mousepad addiction. Also on 2nd thought, mouse addiction..
My four year old computer still proves to be capable of running any game I choose to play at reasonably high settings.
Whats that, past me? Sick of being forced to upgrade every two years because game developers dont know when to stop pushing the graphics envelope? It Gets Better. And the best part is, youll have consoles to thank for it.

Yay! Time to brag!
CPU: Intel i7 2600 (3.4GHz)
RAM: 16GB DDR3
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6900
HDD: 2TB
Got all the parts separately and paid about $AUD700.
My PC would be the best out of all my friends, but the motherboard decided to corrupt itself during sleep mode and needs flashing.

OT: My comp is nothing to brag about, a standard HP laptop, given as a gift 3 Christmases ago.
I don't really know much about specs, so all I know about it is that it's an HP G60-533CL from the label. *Shrug*
It has Windows 7, but due to an unfortunate accident with the hard drive (Last November), I have Microsoft Office 1997--which is pretty great.
It can barely run Minecraft with Medium distance, even with an FPS smoother. And may the Omnisiah help me if I want to play anything made since 2009, it lags up the butt.
(My reference to the Machine god has made me realize I need to appease the Machine-spirit of this Internet-exploring beast to let my performance increase--my results will come back in a few days. I must find the tears of a hundred virgin techpriestesses first...)
Intel Core i7 920 CPU
CoolerMaster Silent Pro 700W PSU
9GB RAM
Geforce GTX 580 1.5GB VRAM
It does its job very nicely, hopefully this console generation will die soon so it can actually be put to proper use. It is nice to not have to worry about upgrades I suppose.

If I ever try to switch out my RAM, my computer throws a hissy fit and won't start. I've been stuck with two sticks of 2GBs of RAM for around two years, because my fucking computer has a personality of a teenage girl.
Sad face.
