My stuff, first my server :
Image

Dual Opterons, 8GB ECC ram, 8400GS card,1 x36 gb drive, 2x 1tb hard drives raid 1, 1x 750gb drive. Case is an Antec Titan, PSU is the Truepower 650w. Those cheap Beyer cans are because it has no speakers in case I need Audio.

Then my second PC which my son uses.

Image

This is an Abit ip-35 with a 768mb DDR3 9600GSO but I since changed the cooler because that one is deafening. It has Corsair ram, 2gb in pic, now 4gb, also a Truepower PSU and the 500gb Spinpoint in the pic is now a 320gb F1. Also has X-Fi gamer. Case is a CM-690.

Image

This is mine but the board is now a P5Q-WS as the P5Q went pop. CPU is Q6600 with 8GB OCZ ram. Graphics was 4850 1GB now replaced with 4890 1GB. Case is a P182, which I don't think cools very well, even with major fan experimentation (ended up with nexus) and its n ot great for cooling either, may replace soon. Has an Asus Xonar soundcard too and Corsair PSU.

I cant believe this literally 5 mins after posting a pic of rig, the northbridge loop started to leak all over my gpu :shock:
Thank god for hose clamps managed to clamp it and remove whole n/b loop, so up and running after drying with a heat gun.
Lucky to get away with it, feser liquid probably helped.

Not as impressive as any of yours, but here goes:

My server open, just added another 2GB of RAM:
Image

My server lives under my bed, and remarkably doesn't get very dusty!
Image

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400, 2.8GHz
System board: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L Micro-ATX board
RAM: 4GB DDR2 667MHz
Hard drive: 4x Seagate 500GB SATA2, 7200RPM. Each with 32MB of cache
PSU: Antec 380W
Chassis: EV 4U

Not a brilliant system, but more than enough for a file and test server.

My MacBook is a first generation model, using a Core Duo running at 2GHz, it's been upgraded to have 2GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive

If I can get to mine I'll post a pic (it's buried under the desk!) - although it is starting to show its' age now.

Specs: AMD X2 3800+ (2.7GHz), ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe, 2GB G.Skill PC3200, Powercolor HD4850 PCS+, Hybrid DVB-T card,
X-Fi Elite Pro, 5 x WD HDDs (1.6TB total), Cooler Master Aquagate max, OCZ GameXtreme 700 PSU.

All housed in a modified Thermaltake armor case.

I think a major upgrade is going to be required soon, although it plays everything I throw at it @ 1680x1050.

I'll try get a photo of my computer, but as the saying goes "A word paints a thousand pictures" or something like that anyway ;)

I built my computer about two years ago now. It's got a special chip in it called a processorama which does some amazing number crunching. I worked out it could perform about three sums per minute, provided the numbers are small enough. I also superglued in some other chips and it seems to be working fine, but it still owes me a new bag of McCains Wedges that I wasted on it.

As you can tell, I am a computer expert. If you ever need advice about computers, ask me and I'll try to break it as quickly as possible.

Peter.
