Mine cost exactly 500 US dollars. (well, 504.37 rounded is 500) My motherboard is also a Gigabyte S series. I want to overclock my CPU but am afraid to buy the wrong kind of cooler to do so.

All cost around $1,000 (I have a job). Should have gone with the 6870, but oh well.. Need to find a good pair of headphones now. Also a little annoyed that Ubuntu does not have support for 6xxx series cards (have a dual boot). But other than that, along with frequent random restarts, this computer is pretty good.

Holy Shit! You thinking of taking that computer on Jeopardy?!

 

[junkerde]

CPU: amd k6
GPU: internal 64kb ram
RAM: 64mb
storage: 3 gb
case: cardboad cutout

but will it blend?

 

[Originality]

Another one of these threads? Meh... anyway:

Case: Antec 1200
MoBo: Asus Rampage Extreme
CPU: Intel C2D E8400 (clocked as a 8600).
Cooler: Scythe Kama Angle (triple fan configuration)
RAM: 2x2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600Mhz (clocked at 1333Mhz)
GPU: ATI/AMD Radeon HD 4870
PSU: Enermax Galaxy DxX 1000W
HDD: 2x1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1, 1x80GB IDE (disabled - alternate OS for running hacks)
Others: LG DVD drive, Card reader+USB bay.

I could list all the external drives and other random stuff, but it's not really part of the computer build itself. I could also list my other computers/laptops, but meh.
EDIT: if anybody is wondering about the overkill PSU for a relatively underwhelming rig, it's because it was used to test various parts when building high-end computers for other people, including quad-GPU rigs.

 

[tijntje_7]

I would say i use this PC as my main media player, cinema thing - i also enjoy the odd FPS online on this PC, yet mainly i operate on a much lower spec PC, Some Intel mobo, 2 GB ram, 8800 GT, and 500GB HDD - all i really need.

[Dr.Aqua]

anyone with Twin Xeons?

 

[coolbho3000]

Hmm
anyone with Twin Xeons?

Yeah, there's bound to be someone here with a better system than me XD

 

[raulpica]

Current build:
Intel E8400 @ Stock
ASUS P5Q-E
OCZ 2GB DDR2 (2x - total 4GB)
ASUS GeForce GTX260 SP216
Western Digital 320GB SATA II
Crappy 20$ 550W PSU (works wonders!)
Pioneer SATA DVD Burner
ASUS Vento Case (a cheap small model. I had to cut out some steel inside to fit my GTX260)

Still runs almost everything on Ultra-High, even if it's a single GFX-card system.

Probable future build (might change something around):
Intel Sandy Bridge EP with LGA 2011 (still dunno what model, as they're yet to be released)
ASUS hi-range LGA2011 Motherboard with UEFI bios (I totally want one)
4x 4GB DDR3 (total 16GB, I guess they'll be enough)
Good SSD as boot-drive
1TB SATA3 drive for storage
GeForce GTX560/565 (or whatever mid-high GFX card they'll get out in Q4 2011)
Modular Powersupply and an Antec (or something high-end) case if I feel like wasting money on something non-essential.

I can't wait for the LGA2011 Sandy Bridges to be released
