Here is my rig.
My stuff on the right, including the case. (I am resuing my GTX 280, I can still run any game at max settings) 
I opted for the SATA III SSD 128GB / SATA II HDD 1TB combo, (FREAKING fast loading times!) i7 930 @ stock clock for now. A70 heatsink Asus prem MOBO Gskill DDR3 Obsidian 800D case SSD 128gb HDD 1tb GTX 280 SATA II optical drive Windows home 64bit 750w PSU This think is a CHAMP. 
HOT SWAP BAY WOW, love this thing!

Cheap system that I built after a friend decided to build one, then wussied out. (he gave me the urge to build another one) I'm proud of that wiring job, and the overclock on it. AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ 3.9Ghz. |

Not since 2001 and Im still running my last build , 2 years ago I made 2 upgrades to it a vid card and a new HD , the HD crashed hard this week . so back on the old 2001 era HD lol
Never built the one I wanted to , I wanted to build a custom case that looked like a spider with all the wiring coming out the back like the web . mocked it with cardboard and got every thing to fit but never built the case. |

I remember making my own direct water to die cooling block for an old pentium 3. Back then you used heater cores from cars as their really wasn't any custom radiators for computers then. The market was very young. Also remember using car neon lights because they were 12 volt and using window molding when you cut windows in the cases. |

At stock i7 speeds (2.8GHZ), it's running around 30C at idle. Thing is, I don't really trust software reported temps as far as I can throw 'em...but there ya go. |

I'm using my dad's build from 2003. I have since replaced the video card and memory, as the memory was fried in a power surge and the video card allows me to hook up my 24'' high definition flat screen TV to the computer. I use the TV as both a computer monitor and as a TV. Mostly as a computer monitor.
