I don't know much about computers, but from what I understand, the workstation I've just received approval to get is really good:

Antec Titan tower
Tyan Thunder motherboard
Opteron 2216 2.4ghz microprocessor
4 gigabytes of Super Talent RAM memory
160 gigabyte Western Digital SATA2 hard drive
Asus 7600 256M video card
A floppy drive
Two CD/DVD RW drives
Keyboard, optical mouse, flat panel monitor
Linux 64bit Suse 10.X pro

It should arrive in a few weeks. Now I need to think of a name for it!
