ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor
I have Two 24" monitors (although only 1 set up currently via swivel arm).
I have a Logitech 5.1 speaker system that I bought years ago.
HP Printer (lol)
Wireless Mouse/Keyboard ($80 Microsoft Combo) but it's infared which sucks balls and need to upgrade to a bluetooth that doesn't need lineo f site.
$69 Belkin Wireless signal receiver.
500 WD MyBook External hard drive.
I have 3 hard drives internal that are in RAID0 array.
I have 8GB of DDR800 RAM (no need for overclocked RAM, just a waste of money), still waiting for 16GB modules now that I am on x64 :-\.
It's not too bad. I paid $1,300 for it all (minus one monitor which I bought later) and the thing is a beast that would crush most $2,000 PC's you would be able to buy from manufactures. I don't plan to upgrade until another generation or two of Nvidia cards (GT4xx sucks for the price), nor will I upgrade my Quad Core which is useless for most apps until 12-16 cores are in the $200 range (probably 4-5 years). The thing I will most likely upgrade next is hard drives when the 4TB ones come out in the Winter/Early 2011 and set that bitch in a RAID because 1080p Movies are fucking eating up space like crazy.

My specs aren't too impressive, however I like my netbook way too much to get a big ass laptop again. It's just a stock eeePC 1005pe with these upgrades.
2Gb DDR2 667MHz
Seagate 7200rpm 500Gb HDD
It's quite fast graphics-wise for a netbook, no doubt because the combo CPU/AGP. Photoshop runs fine.
...but on a serious note, ever since Apple made the switch from IBM to Intel based processor design they've got some pretty powerful specs. It's just a shame you have to pay a 25-50% mark up price than the same system from a PC vender and nearly 100% more than if you built it yourself.
Still, 27" monitor. I'm fucking jealous. 23" is starting to feel small and soon I'll just have to upgrade to a 40" TV at this rate. Damn eyes screwing with your vision when you're on a computer 18 hours a day.

Aha!
At first it looked huge, but it's 'meh' now. Pretty sweet when friends come over.
Pentium 3 800MHz
512MB PC133 SDRAM
20GB "Noisy as hell" seagate 5400 rpm IDE HDD
22" Samsung LCD display (taken from my gaming system)
XP PRO
I put this system together specialy for the hot weather the last weeks, my other systems gets overheated and bring my computer room to unacceptable temperatures.
My normal system is:
i5 750
4GB DDR3
ATI 5770
1TB HDD
22" Samsung LCD
XP PRO 64bit
Thinking of getting a pair of 32" full HD TVs too for some 3 screen awesomeness, but unfortunately im a bit too low on cash atm.
Another 4GB of RAM and a few more TB of storage is probably higher on my to-do list.
OC'd the i7 930 to 3.96 but temps are getting a little hot for me under full prime95 testing. I could probably tweak it some and get the voltage down and keep the same clock, but i'm moving to watercooling in a few weeks. Think I might do a 2nd loop and get a GPU waterblock as well, the 5970 fan sounds like a jet when turned up substantially, and I want to overclock her too.
Fuck, that is neat clean and tidy docshay, ill stitch together my desk (shitty cellfone camera lol) into a pic for comparison, very nice Doc, money well spent
Done, rather poor gimp skills but i manage
I think ill avoid the embarrassment and leave the specs unmentioned till i finish building the 870A-ud3 based system im slowly assembling, those phenom X6'es arent cheap

This. 8 gigs per movie adds the fuck up.
My legit gaming PC. :cool:
IDE drives?
The Seagate is an external hard drive set up through eSATA. I guess it shows up as an IDE device.
Everything else is SATA.

Ah, but why so slow DDR2 RAM? and those video cards look kinda warm.

I NEED to get dual screen gaming up and running. This is Bad Company 2, right?
I need to start using my second monitor for streched screens
My new PC.
My Specs are terrible:
Intel Core2 Duo 1.8Ghz

and well... thats pretty much it
