I just got done lapping my CPU and I fucking FORGOT TO TAKE PICS! I was just so scared because I bent a handful of pins somehow...but it's rocking along fine and temps are about 5c lower on idle, with the ASC still breaking in
-Opteron 165 *OC'd when I feel like it...normal 1.8Ghz*
-Asus A8N-SLI Premium
-4x512 DDR400 Corsair Valueselect (Oh yeah baby, cheap ram FTW)
-ATI X1950Pro
-Corsair TX750W PSU
-Western Digital 74GB ADFD Raptor (The faster revision)
-WD 250GB Slave
-22 Acer 1680x1050 native resolution
My system is old as balls...don't have too much problem with normal stuff and gaming is just fine in XP if i'm easy on the AA

Haha...mine is 2.5 years old...and I was way too lazy to route/hide the cables this time around. I went with a mini cube case and an matx board.
Specs:
-- 3800+ AMD mild overclock to 2.4ghz from 2.0ghz (stock voltage)
-- OCZ 2GB kit (forgot the specifics, but it's nice RAM and hasn't let me down)
-- 3850 512mb Apollo video card (have had nothing but issues with this thing)
-- 350gb Seagate HD, SATA2 (again, can't remember specifics of RPM, cache, etc...but it was a nice drive at the time)
-- Onboard GB lan
-- Onboard 5.1 surround sound
All that plugged into a 1440x900 19" Widescreen LCD. I've been holding off on building a new rig for some time...I'll probably break down and build a new one next summer. That is, if I can hold out that long. A lot of the newer generation games aren't playing seamlessly on my rig.
I'll try to get some photos later tonight, but will probably forget.

Dude deffinetely post some up, i'm so sick and tired of this huge ass case.
My next build without a doubt is going to be a Small Form Factor, i love the Lian Li V300 series
I got REAL anal about wire management...I got so spoiled by the [H]ardforum builds...
I'll try to remember to post. Honestly, I don't like it. Next build is going to be a medium tower. Nothing too big, but nothing too small. There's no room ANYWHERE in my case. It was nice initially, but working on stuff is a pain in the ass. I hate to unscrew the hardware tray, unplug the PSU from the board, slide tray out, fiddle around, etc.
I did it to save space, of course, but also to save a bit of weight. It has a handle on the front so I was able to carry it around from LAN to LAN with ease. Now...I don't LAN much in person anymore. I get on vent, fire up Hamachi and hang out.
I'll probably convert this cube to be a generic dumb station that I can remote into within my LAN, and from the outside (via RDP). I might even have it handle some media station duties that my 360 has been doing up to this point.
3.0 GHz 930 Intel Dual Core Processor
2 gigabytes of Kingstone 533MHz DDR2 ram
7950GT Nvidia with 512MB of video ram
Asus mother board
650 Wat Antec Power supply
Windows XP
60 Gigabyte HDD
A dual layer DVD-RW drive
My tower is huge, must be close to 2 and 1/2 feet tall.
No joke. I would put the CPU on the floor but then it would get more dust and I wouldn't be able to see it, kinda defeats the purpose of an acrylic window.
