What's your webserver hardware?

What are you running hardware-wise for your webserver? I'm curious if everyone's running antique equipment like mine.

Me: Dell 1750, 2X3ghz zeon processors. 8 gigs of ram. 3X scsi hard drives.

It's way old, but runs just fine. And because the hardware is so cheap, I've got a duplicate sitting on a shelf here in case something dies. At this level of machine, it runs most normal web businesses with ease but they're cheap enough that having a backup sit on a shelf isn't a big investment either.

The main webserver is an HP Proliant DL120 G6, 8GB RAM, Quad 2.40GHz xeon and 4x250GB SATA disks in hardware RAID 10 configuration. Huge overkill for what it is doing now, but nice to test some demanding projects on without the fear that it will slow down normal web operation.

Besides that for some specific web projects a lease box core2duo with 2GB and hardware RAID and a VPS, but I am not sure about the exact specifications for those two. And a few servers in the field which do no web-serving but application serving for individual clients. Most are P4 2.8GHz servers with 1GB RAM and SSD drives, but also a few more regular HP Xeon boxes.

yeeeeep i've got a pretty old rack server that needs to be put down.

dell poweredge
dual 2.4 xeon
4GB DDR400
2x 80GB scsi 320
dual gigbit eth
dual power supplies
VERY LOUD FANS
windows server 2003

it was pretty cool 9 years ago, but im def ditching it you have to call dell for ANYTHING and replacement part costs are pretty silly. I've got an identical twin sitting in the closet just incase something breaks with very low hours on it.
