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! ;)

Nice! Your case looks similar to mine. Is it an Antec? I have the Antec 900.

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. :p

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. :)

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.
