Gaming Rig Discussion & Show

[Hal9000]

Since we have a gaming section, I'm sure we have people that put too much time and money into their gaming rigs, much like myself. Those that do, I'm sure, also put lots of pride into their work and tears. So I would like to dedicate this space to computer pictures, discussions, and questions. Enjoy, mentlegen.

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of my current (or even my last, to my knowledge) rig, but as with every rig I know exactly what was in it:

New rig -
-Antec Lanboy Air
-Gigabyte GA-P67-UD4-BA motherboard
-Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge (currently running stock cooler at 3.4GHz until a better cooling option presents itself at the right price)
-6GB Kingston DDR3 1600MHz RAM
-EVGA GTX 560TI Superclocked w/1GB GDDR5 RAM
-Antec TruePower 650W PSU
-Seagate 160GB HDD
-WD 320GB HDD

Old rig (now linux box running OpenSUSE 11.4 for software development; might add a Win7 partition to facilitate guest gamers) -
-Antec Sonata II with window cut into door
-Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard
-Core 2 Quad Q9600 @ 3.0GHz
-2GB OCZ DDR2 800MHz RAM
-EVGA GTX260 graphics card
-Thermaltake 600W PSU
-500GB WD HDD

As soon as it becomes affordable for me to add water cooling to the new rig, I plan on overclocking pretty seriously. In the meantime, there aren't a whole lot of games that it won't run.

Photos will have to wait until I get home from vacation.
