Default Post your computer/specs! Did you build it?

Hey everyone,

I'm building my first computer in about a month, and I can't wait. I was curious about what we are all using though, so why don't we talk about what kinds of builds we have!

Heck, even Dells, HPs, and Apples can join in; if you're not sure, let us know what kind of model it is and one of us can find the specs ourselves and post them up. Sounds cool?

Wanna feel CRAZY?!?! Post a pic of your computer even, I'm curious to see how we have a desk setup or if we even use desks!

Alright, so here's what I have right now:
+Dell 8400 (~2003)
-CPU: Pentium 4 3.0GHz
-Memory: ~2.5Gb total
2x1Gb sticks of DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) SDRAM

Built this system a few years ago when Pentium D's just came out, and upgraded the video card and went to watercooling since the heat and noise was horrendous.


Me being a weirdo while putting in my watercooling system.

My specs:
Running WinXP Home and Ubuntu Feisty
3.0 GHz Pentium D (830)
Intel D945PVSLKR mobo
Mushkin 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory (x2)
300GB maxtor DiamondMax 10 HD (SATA)
320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 HD (SATA)
160GB seagate HD (IDE)
NEC ND3550A DVD burner
Ultra x-connect Powersupply 500W (Green and Black)
Viewera 19" LCD (DVI)
KDS 15" LCD (VGA)
GeForce 7600GT XXX PCI-E
Swiftech H2O-120 Watercooling kit + MCW60 GPU waterblock
(Apogee CPU waterblock, 5.25” bay reservoir w/MCP350 pump, 120mm radiator w/fan, 3/8" ID / 1/2" OD tubing, artic silver thermal compound)
Aerocool Magic-3D Case - Black (set to green for front bezel - replaced all fans, front: Thermaltake green thunderblade 120mm, side & back: Ultra glossy green 120mm fan)
Logitech MX518 optical mouse
Sound hooked up to my stereo tuner (5 speakers: side, rear, center channels)
Epson R220 photoprinter
Leadtek WinFast TV2000XP PVR
Iogear bluetooth adapter (GBU221P)




My case is really cluttered with cables, but it's watercooled and mesh so airflow isn't that big of a deal.
