    Post your rig.

    Unfortunately, while I was away on vacation, mice climbed inside my case and pissed all over my motherboard, completely frying it. So I'm on a netbook (with a broken LCD) hooked up to my 22" monitor. Works for now.

    Anyways, I know there are some tech nerds on here (Macfags can leave now), so let's hear what you got.

    My PC:

    - MSI 790x-G45 AM3 Motherboard
    - AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.2GHz
    - 4GB DDR3 (I forget the specs atm)
    - HD 4850 512MB GPU
    - BD reader, DVD/CD burner
    - WD 650GB HDD (Basically full before the crash!!)
    - 750W PSU (Way overkill I know, I was a noob when I built it)
    - 2x 1080p 22" LCD Monitors

    That's about it. It's so sad to see her lying in pieces around my room.

    Also, pictures are not only welcome, but preferred.

    Just updated my comp today with some more memory, thanks to Black Friday on Newegg.

    ASUS M4A785-M MB

    12GB DDR3
    nVidia GeForce GTX 550Ti
    LG GGW-H20L Super Multi Blue - Blu-ray Disc Burner
    Samsung Super-WriteMaster SH-S203N 20x DVD±RW
    Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB
    Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB
    Corsair (I forget the model type) 650w PSU
    Samsung SyncMaster B2430H 24" LCD Screen

    I like my case, but I put my computer behind my tv (which doubles as another monitor on occasion) so I can't provide nice, detailed pictures. Maybe I will the next time I have to move the computer and add a new part.

    Built mine almost 2 years ago now and upgraded the RAM and Heatsink a few months ago.

    Lian-Li PC K-62
    EVGA E758 LGA 1366 Intel X58 Motherboard
    Intel Core i7 920 2.66 GHZ
    Corsair HX750 Power Supply
    12 Gigs Corsair PC3 12800 DDR3 Ram
    XFX Radeon HD 5870 1 GB Video Card
    Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive
    Corsair H70 Water Cooled Heatsink
    Samsung 23" 1080p LCD Monitor

    Pictures are from my original build with 6 gigs of RAM and the stock CPU heatsink.





    It was my first build and has been very stable. Only problem I've ever had with it was getting quite a few BSOD's over a week or so period earlier this year but that was just shitty new ATI drivers fucking up. After installing this nice Corsair H70 a few months ago it's quieter than any house fan I have.

    Haha, oops. Must have erased it or forgotten it from my post. It's actually the same exact CPU you have!

    It's a Lian-Li PCK-62. I almost bought the Antec 900 but switched to the Lian-Li a few days before ordering my parts.

    I'm a game artist so it helps with rendering large scenes or working in ZBrush. Also I spend at least 10-12 hours a day on the computer so I thought I might as well spend a nice chunk of moneys on it.

    Porn and Terraria.

    It's really just lots video games, photo editing and video editing. And I spend the bulk of my time on my computer, so it needs to be nice.

    Built this (except videocard) in Spring 2009

    Mobo: Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Motherboard
    CPU: Core i7 920 (stock speed at the moment -- may overclock soon)
    RAM: Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3 Video: Asus ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP 1GB
    CPU Cooler: Thermalright Ultra 120 1366 CPU Cooler
    Power Supply: Corsair HX620 620 Watt
    Case: Cooler Master HAF 932
    Monitor: Dell UltraSharp 2209WA 22" + NEC 19" Monitor
    Keyboard: Logitech G15 (Revision 2)
    Mouse: Logitech G5
    Sound: Logitech z5500 5.1 Dolby/DTS Surround
    Storage: 80gb Intel X25-M SSD, 500GB Western Digital Green, 1TB Western Digital Black, 2x 2TB Western Digital Green drives

    I also have the rig connected to my 37" LCD and Denon amp across the room for movies and gaming, but I mostly game here at the desk.

    Desk (ignore duct tape holding speakers in place :P)

    Guts (still needs more cable management)

    Big Black Delta Sticker on window

    LCD readout built into keyboard, custom items shown using LCDStudio. Core loads at top, some hard drive space, %RAM used, network speeds


    Next year I want a 24" IPS monitor (either 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 resolution), and a new video card. I'll consider Ivy Bridge in the Fall, depending on its performance jump, as my CPU/Mobo will be 4 year old tech by then.
