I was checking up on Best of Free Software at jhoodsoft.org and I saw that John was building himself a new computer.

The first was PC-wizard. It basically tells you everything you need to know about your computer and the devices installed or attached to it, including brand name and model.

Be sure to drop by John's site to see his picks for the Best of Free Software.
