Sure here they are:

Motherboard:	Gigabyte K8 Triton Micro ATX
			Socket 754 for AMD Athlon64 w/64-bit 3400+ CPU
			VIA VT8237 Chipset
			VIA K8M800 Chipset
				On-board UniChrome Pro Graphics S3 Pro IGP
Hard drive:		Seagate SATA 200GB hard drive
Monitor:		ViewSonic VG191 (LCD)

That should do it...
