[LiamSHepard]

Very nice rig man! Are you running a OC on your cpu? If not you should, especially with the water cooling!

Thank you! Nah, I'm too chicken. I haven't had good luck with that in the past. I've tried before on cheaper rigs I built. I think it should do just fine as it is or until I have enough practice on cheaper rigs to feel comfortable touching this one. If I break it my wife would kill me, we had a 3 day conversation about buying it. Eventually I will overclock it, I got the processor just because I have seen several claims and a few instructions on how to boost it to 4.2 GHz.

I'm a gamer, so I've put some money into this baby.
Athlon x3 435 @ 3.6 ghz per core, sadly cannot unlock the 4th core. Is not stable on my mobo.
MSI NF750 SLI, decent overclocking board. Handles NB over volts pretty decent. I've heard Nforce boards were terrible with that.
4gb OCZ DDR3 1600 spec ops. Low voltage stock, and has decent timings. Great for overclocking.
PNY Geforce 9800GTX+ SLI oced 855/2200/1275. These have been probably what I loved the most about my system. First I started off on a single GTX+ on a crossfire board, then got another one and got the 750 mobo. Going to upgrade to 2 460 models here soon.
2 Seagate Barracude 750 gb, Bought one, and got the second one half off. Great deal, I didn't have the money or the need for a high capacity SSD, so I settled with the best I could.
Samsung DVD dual layer burner,Does what it needs to do.
Corsair 750watt modular PSU, I will tell anyone that this is an amazing psu.
Rosewell Challenger Mid tower, decent case. Looks decent. Had no issues with it.
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Ubuntu 10
Mac os X 10.6 Snow Leopard

For overclocking, I always go for the coolers with 5+ heat pipes that are 120mm in size. As well as Arctic silver 5 thermal paste. I put it on my cpu, and I applied it on both the GTX cards. Plans I have for my rig!
I'm planning on getting the Phenom II X6 1055T. It's about the same price as the Phenom II X4 965 BE, and also has 2 more cores and more l3 cache. Not a BE, but an easy overclocker. Like I said before, I want to get 2 GTX 460's in my rig. And I want a bigger case. I need one for better temperature management.

Surprised this thread didn't get more attention, I'm gonna bring it back from the dead though, at least for a little while.

I've built every PC I own since the late 90's.

Here's my current system specs:

Actually this needs updating as I have since disassembled my External Drive and hooked it up internally. Moves data a lot faster that way.

 

[Snow_Fox]

Amd 955 BE overclocked to 4 ghz.
I have two 6870's in xfire.
750 gig HDD
4 gigs of ram
Msi 890 GXM Mobo.
Corsair H50 water cooler
Win7
NZXT hades case.
23" Samsung Syncmaster monitor.

And an Xarmor U9BL Mech keyboard.

God I love my rig..

Running a Dual Boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 on two Internal Seagates 7200 Barracudas.

I'm wanting to update to some 10,000 RPM drives...We'll see.

 

[mikedt]

Already done this one in the "What's you're laptop setup?" thread.

 

[ludeawakening]

This model includes a one gig hard drive.

I really hope that thing is running Damn Small Linux! I bet it screams though! Lol jk

Do you mean 1 TB?

I'm going to go with the above answer too ^. Lol you gotta love it!

I've upgraded the desktop since this post.
I added another 4 GB of memory. Actually, replaced the original OCZ Platinum with the Black edition as it seems the Platinum didn't work right with the CPU, plus added the 4 GB in BE memory

GTX470 replaced the GTX260

Using a Cyborg R.A.T 7 mouse. Same monitor but maybe with my tax refund I'll upgrade that.

Loving the Antec case. Bought it 3 yrs ago and I just may never get rid of it unless something else comes along that can surpass it in some way.

had mine less than a year and fully expect to keep for a long while, other than weird placement of the sata connections i've no complaints

Yeah, the SATA connections are pretty damn weird. I wish it had a bit more interior space for some nice cable management, but I did my best with what space I had which was pretty much just taking electrical tape and pasting everything to the floor next to the PSU lol.

I did strongly consider this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129087 though because I wanted something spacious.
