Intel E6600, Gigabyte 945GZM-S2 with 2GB of Corsair memory and a nice 750GB Seagate SATA drive. Gentoo works like a charm. Can't say the installation was very pleasant. It is something you need to keep up from time to time. Before the install I had kept another machine alive with emerge for 3 years. I used to be a big AMD fan, but the Core Duo chips are hard to ignore. Good prices, great performance. Another nice the system is the MicroATX case: Antec Aria NSK-1300. Not much bigger than a shoebox. A big aftermarket cooler still fit. Made out of durable composite material. Nice.

@amightywind sounds great, can you post some pictures please?

@DrAgOnTuX

No pics handy but here is a link to the case. http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=91300

It glows blue too! I got the case at MicroCenter for under $100. I do highly recommend it. I found the Minuet case to be interesting. It is one size down! It is also on the website. Have fun.

1.6GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM and GF8600GT.

If I can include machines that I do not own, an 8 way Britney server that is about 30 times faster than a 3GHz P4.

Main system that I use is down because the power supply needs replacement, it starts but the PSU makes noise until it is warmed up. As a result I'm using my Auxillary system.

Asus P5N-E SLI (had 2X7600GS)
Ditched the geforce 7600's for a

My Aux system was my system before the C2d system.

1.5gb pc3200

Love gentoo BTW

Would you believe me if I had installed Gentoo on a Cray-VIII? ;-)

Jokes apart, it'd be much more interresting to know which weirdest/hardest machine you have installed Gentoo :-)

. Like a Playstation, phone or PDA...

Otherwise the fastest machine I installed Gentoo was @ OVH: a Core2 Duo 2.66GHz: emerge -e system took about 10-15 minutes IIRC...
