1. Start Menu > right click on "My Computer" > click on Properties > you'll get information on ur cpu type and clock speed
2. continue in the Properties page > click on the tab "hardware" > click on the button "device manager" > gives u some basic numbers and models of nearly all the hardware in your computer.
3. Start Menu > run... > type in "dxdiag" > a popup appears and u click yes > a window appears giving you RAM, CPU and GPU information
4. go to http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php > download cpu-z > unzip it > run the program > the program will open a window giving detailed information on your CPU, RAM, Mainboard, and Cache.
Sorry, but no exact idea on the hard drive and the PSU other than going to windows explorer or My Computer and adding up the total disk spaces to get an approximate disk volume. Numbers won't end up with nice numbers round it to the nearest numbers below, which are the common hard drive capacities:
20GB
40GB
80GB
100GB
120GB
160GB
200GB
250GB
320GB
500GB
750GB
1000GB, or 1TB
hope it helps

I agree with Patanin K's answers.
More on the drive.. When you right-click on your hard drive icon and select 'Properties', the model number of the HDD you're using is revealed under the 'Hardware' tab. You may use the search engine [using the model number as your keyword] to get further info on your hard disk. The manufacturer's website usually provides detailed specifications.
Hope this would help too.

The best and most simple thing to do is use Belarc Advisor.
Go here and check it out.
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
Thats what I use and I work at a public Library where we have around 50+ computers at the main branch and about another 50 in two other branches.
Belarc Advisor is so small a program it fits on a floppy and you know Floppies don't hold much.

You can use CPU-Z to find out allot of info it's a very small download. Or download Everest Home Edition it will tell you everything and anything you want to know.

I like going to http://www.pcpitstop.com/ to see what my computer is made of. It performs benchmark tests and tells you how you can improve your computer performance. Click on "PC performance scan"
