What's Your Computer Build?

I know that there are people here who build their own computers, and I am curious as to what your rigs are. Please share your specs so that others who are planning to build can have some ideas on what to get.

Oh, and to Mac users, I understand that your computers are excellent and I agree. Let's just not turn this thread into another PC-Mac battleground. This is for PC users only, OK? Thanks!

As mentioned, this thread is to show and share our builds and not a place for flame wars as well as my sword is bigger than yours. Everyone's experience and knowledge is different, take what you can learn and help those who are in need.

Posting pictures is encouraging, but not required.
