Post your Computer

I would assume many of you guys take care of your computers almost to the extent of your cars, I wouldn't mind seeing what type of computers everyone has whether you built it or purchased it at a local store. So if your gamer like myself or a forum rat lets see it!

The List:
Nzxt Apollo Tower
OCZ GameXstream 700 Watt PSU
SAMSUNG DVD Burner
Creative SOUND BLASTER X-Fi Platinum 7.1
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 800 Dual Channel
ATI x1800xt 512mb
(2) Western Digitals Raptors 74gb in Raid 0
Intel e6600 Core Duo 2.4 gig
Thermaltake 120mm CPU Cooler
Dell 21 inch Widescreen

Let see some pictures...
And a list of mods...hehe


Monitor:



From the outside:



Inside look:



And the goods:

AMD Opteron 170 dual core 0550 UPMW CCB1E mild OC to 2.6 Ghz
Thermalright SI-120 & Panaflo 115CFM 120mm fan
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
OCZ 550W PSU
2 GB OCZ EL Gold XTC PC4000 3438
eVGA e-GeForce 7950 GX2
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz

Areca 1230 SATA PCIe x8 RAID controller 1 GB cache + BBU
4 x 74 GB Western Digital Raptors in RAID0
1 x 200 GB Seagate sATA JBOD
BenQ DW1640 DVD-RW/CD-RW
SuperFlower Aluminum ATX case
Samsung 19" 931C
Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue
WinXP SP2



I'll have to post pics when I get back home. This is my year old box, since I've been waiting/spec-ing out my next box to anticipate the changes in the coming year.

Note: Had to swap my Turtle Beach back in after my AudioTrak Prodigy 7.1 died (didn't help when Via bought out and stopped supporting the Envy chipsets).

Note2: Every year is nearly a different box, but always best known components that I can fit into the box even if waaaay more than I should need. And then I just give my tax guy the receipts and get a write off for the consulting that I do.

Note3: Gaming only machine. I have a laptop for work. Absolutely no office apps or their associated DLLs fscking up my gaming. Just think what this type of setup did about a year ago...

You said it -- that is exactly what that thing is. Less than 6lbs, and faster than my desktop. It is full of high performance features, is built like a tank, and battery life is second to none. I am going to get a MacBook just to play around with...this will still be my primary machine.
