The system monitor will probably give you the information you're
looking for.  It includes CPU information, memory and drive space
available.  Clicking on the file systems tab will give more
information about hard drive space.

You can access it by clicking System >> Administration >> System Monitor.

Running 'sudo lshw | less' will give you a stupid amount of
information about pci cards, usb, network cards, motherboard, cpu,
memory slots, etc.
