Nice rig mate, looks sweet, but then I clicked the link at bottom of your post and... well I think I'm in love, I mean, OMFG WTF did you see the, I mean look at the, by the power of greyskull check out that **reaches for kleenex** uuughh oh yeah. 
holy COW! project DREAM is finally finished! i can't believe i missed that... its so beautiful. i remember when it was just a sketch! mcneillm, yours is a beaut, too... and that other rig is just out of this world. like, actually, it is. i appreciate the work, but i didn't really watch he man or whatever so... 
but, for those of you who are reluctant to post, just go back and look at my rig, and feel better about yours 
You guys should check out some of the cases at www.thebestcasescenario.com's forums. Especially by a guy named defyant. He takes old HP cases that look like this:
And turns them into ultra-sleek cases, like this:
Built this to replace my 5 year old Dell.
8O I can't believe those are HP cases. (mine is still fugly :? )
Well i have some upgrades enroute to my house, so next week i get to post my rig up here. It won't be near as mind blowing but i think i can be satisfyed(for now 
). At least until i get my hands on a dremel and a hole saw. 
Oh, wait, did you mean pictures of computers?

That lexa looks sweet. How much of a fingerprint magnet is it though?
this thread should be a sticky! heres my baby, i'm selling it thoug for some cash...2000 but i'll take 1700 :s
Woohoo...! Finally got my pics in order.
The inside of my PC, I still need some cable work. Its ok for now. Just gotta reverse the HD and get some zip ties. I finally upgraded my fan to a Scythe 100mm silent fan. See the Bose speakers?
My desktop, its usually not so clean. Ewww...! Its a Compaq. Its still kicks some butt.
(Edit: Also notice the awesome paper mod)
My other toy. (After all...I am a DJ)
=/ do you ever have problems with that PSU? I hear sometimes that kind is dangerous to work with, given it's instability!
(Yes, I mean the poison sac unit)

Can you capture your screen and post it? I've been wondering the quality of text and pics on LCD TV....

Hi, what you new case is?

I could, but it wouldn't do you any good.
My screenshot would be displayed on your monitor, so it wouldn't really give you a good idea what it looks like on my screen.
The tv I got is pretty much exactly like any other 8ms lcd monitor, it supports every resolution you would expect from a pc monitor, it's even made by Sceptre (a company that makes monitors). The only drawback that I noticed is that since the pixel pitch is so large in comparison with other monitors, non-native resolutions are more noticeable when you are close to the screen. As you can see I sit on the couch about 7-8 feet from the screen, so my desktop is at 1330 x 768 just so I can read the text from where I sit lol.
At the native resolution(1920x1080) it is beautiful though. 1000:1 contrast, 176 degree viewing angle. Image quality is on par with my old Samsung LCD monitor. I actually bought it to use mainly as a tv, but I hooked up my gaming machine to it just to see what it looked like and I have never wanted to take it off. I gave my old monitor to my brother after a couple of months.
The speakers that came with it are garbage though. I bought those klipsch 2.1's after I set it up and heard those speakers. Fortunately they were removable.

2gig DDR400 memory
NEC 16x DVDR
Shuttle memory card reader 3.5 slot)
Seagate 300gb harddrive
Sapphire x1950 Pro video card

holes cut in case cover for vid card fan and extra exhaust fan.
onboard wireless
onboard 5.1 sound
this is my last stand on this case. soon Ill be building something more suited for gaming.
Thats an interesting Shuttle 
I like the "external" PSU. That 1950pro takes up nearly the entire length of the case! The green tri-cool fans add a nice touch. Very cool indeed. The color of the PSU kind of off-sets everything though?
The copper PSU is a bit wild, but it was cheaper than the other colors
I only wish the PSU had modular cables, since right now IM using about 1/5 of the wires they provide, and the extras end up in a rats nest behind my system.

Wow man! That is some really nice cable management! I'm assuming that is a modular powersupply though. But overall, it made me say wow. Also like the modded Corsair fans.

Sorry fo being off topic, but i really love ur desk and i want to get a similar one, what's it's name & price, and can i find it online?
thx in advance,
btw, To anyone who posted pics, all ur pcs simply ROCK!!! I don't have a cam now so it will be a while b4 i post mine.
This is my crappy computer:
Sorry about the last picture. I'm using a camera phone w/ no flash, so I used a flashlight . There's not enough light otherwise to see the internals.
Stats:
Dual cooling loops (koolance, yes, I know, its crap)
CPU: 250 opty x2 (running between 91*F to 93*F on a bad day)
Video: 1900xtx w/ ARCTIC COOLING Accelero X2 heatsink (not OC'd right now, but it'll get me pretty decent OCs when I want)
HDD: 2 maxtor 160s in raid 0, seagate 320 gig, raptor 36 gig x2 (old, not as speedy as the new ones)
PSU: enermax galaxy 1000watt (powers all the HDDs, CPUs and cooling loops; the mobo requires 645 watts to work w/ 2 cpus, not including gpu)
Its a big server case. I forget the name of it. It stands just over 27.5" from the ground. Its huge.
Thats kinda cool! Not really top of the line anymore, but i like it.
Your PC has lots of character. Much cooler than the thousands of e6600/680i/8800's out there. Sure, they're fast and play games like nobody's business... But this PC is just interesting.

It does its job with games well enough for now. It'll run HL2, DOOM3, at max setting @ 60fps easy. CnC3 gets a little slow down when I run it @ max setting w/ 1920x1080 resolution and 3 or more computer opponents. I won't be seeing record breaking speeds, but its decent.
I like the case, but its lack of 120mm fan holes as well as heavy weight is a bit of a drag, though I won't retire it. It'll just sit in a room and run SETI and be used for other things and probably act as a printer server and file server. I believe the case is at least 70 or 80 lbs. I can sit on it (I'm about 190 lbs) and it doesn't come close to buckling. I think It can easily hold 500 to 700 lbs. I'd pull out my weight set and try it, but thats not worth crushing my old working desktop .
Thanks for the comment. I'll have to post my computer when i get some cash and build it. I'll probably be an early adopter of penryn, so people will get excited. I'll feel like N'Sync did in the 90s. 
For the rest of you guys, start posting some pics! This thread needs to continue.

I'm astounded. Those are SPEAKERS...? What on earth do you use them for, hosting Raves? You have one hell of a machine, my friend.

I paid $36 for the case, it came with a 400W Powmax PSU. You know the fireworks displays on the 4th of July? I had a miniature one of those after about 2 weeks. If fireworks are illegal in your area, just buy one of these, you won't be dissapointed.
The case along with several other components were from my first home built computer. I quickly learned that drives usually don't come with silver fronts. Unfortunately it was a bit too late.
Current specs:
Sempron 3000+ socket 754
Gigabyte ULi mobo
1GB DDR333 (1X512, 2x256)
Sapphire X1600pro agp
an 80GB (main) and 160GB (storage) SATA HDDs
sound blaster live 24 bit
Optorite CD player / coaster maker
Original specs:
Athlon xp 2000+
EPoX VIA KM400 mobo
512MB DDR333 (2x256) - still in use
Sapphire 128MB 9600se
80GB IDE drive
(same CD drive, floppy, sound card, case, PSU still in use)
