I don't have any pictures of my rig, but:

i7 920 @ 3GhZ w/ Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B Cooler
6GB of DDR 1600 Corsair Dominator lolRAM
EVGA 1st gen X58 Mobo
Sapphire 6970 2GB
Corsair 850W PSU
1x WD Caviar Black 640GB
1x 150GB VelociRaptor
2x 1TB External WD HDs
Stuffed in a Antec LanBoy (Used to be a 902)

Logitech G700
Logitech G930
Razer Anasi

1x 22in Samsung 226cw
1x 32in Sony Bravia IDon'tRememberTheModelNumber

The best part of all of this? With the exception of the external HDs and the video card, it was built back in 2009 for $1400. The first gen i7 is probably the best bang for your buck processor EVER. I can't remember a processor that has lasted me this long since the 2000+ way long ago.

I still play most games on high at 1920x1080 -- including BF3. Hell, I'm even able to record BF3 without lag. Same for Skyrim. And WoW/SC2/D3 basically can be running in the background.

And honestly, BF3 was the big hit my system was supposed to take. I can't see anything next year that will challenge my setup or force me to upgrade, although I might do it anyway just to get back to a 3x monitor setup. Though, finding something with input lag is a challenge.

I also might upgrade to go play with water. I don't need to at all... but... well, you know.
