another PC thread. there was one last year or a while ago anyway.

you didn't post specs so i'll guess.

what looks like a Xerox glass fronted monitor...
usual logitech peripherals... mx revolution mouse... no gaming mouse mat though...
strangely you're running with 3 ram sticks... so it's not dual channel, and i don't think the i7 processors are out yet (despite the boards are) to be tri-channel.
plus it looks like you're on an AMD system anyway.
i think an asus board though?
what could be a Tagen psu...
heatsink has copper pipes, so its probably not the stock one.
dual 8800 are nice.

looks alright. tidy inside.

Upgrades (if you're interested)
if you want to lose some heat, get a thermalright ultra 120 heatsink and strap on an akasa 120mm fan (the orange one is quiet and provides decent cfm)
If you do online/LAN gaming (from the games you've got it looks single player/LAN types), I've heard KillerNIC's are good. i don't really wanna spend £100 on a NIC though to find out myself. plus you're lacking room anyway. and i recommend sennheiser headphones or headsets. but some prefer plantronics.
and if that's your dsl modem in the corner (the white box), you might want to get a router which'll handles packets better :cool:
a mouse mat :) i've had my everglide mat for years. just the right amount of friction :twisted:

but that's just my 2 cents as the saying goes.

How are you getting on with the new style vertical keyboard? Easy to use? ;-)
