Here's my main desktop. I wanted to post this in my signature, but I couldn't so I started a thread. :P
Image

If you want the long version, my desktop has:

- an ASUS P5B motherboard
- 8GB of DDR2 RAM @~780MHz with 4-4-3-11 timings (4GB Kingston, 4GB Corsair XMS2) <---CPU-Z shows the base clock, not the actual clock
- a Core 2 Duo E8500 @3.7GHz, with a base FSB of ~390MHz (stock is 3.16GHz with ~333MHz base FSB)
- an ASUS Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5
- 1x 1TB Seagate as my primary hard drive, 1x 500GB Western Digital as my secondary drive, and a few other random 500GB drives that I'm still trying to sort the data on. I want to pare it down to having two or three hard drives installed.
- a Pioneer DVD burner of some kind, I can't remember the model
- 1st gen. Cooler Master Storm Scout case
- a small Rosewill "tower" LGA 775 heatsink
- an Enermax 80+ certified 550w PSU
- some extra fans, including a 120mm I put above my DVD burner, and two fans I put on the inside; one to keep the northbridge cool, the other to cool the RAM. I also moved the original front fan to the side, as it was really doing nothing useful save for cooling my hard drives.

I'm considering maybe throwing in my old PCI Geforce FX 5500 and a Soundblaster Live, just to see if this thing will run Windows 98. XD It would be the fastest 98 rig ever, and it could play some of my old games!

Someone else has probably made a thread like this before, but I wasn't sure. :P

Just in the similar topics beneath your post, there are three threads of this type and I even remember participating in one recently. Still, I don't need much excuse to talk about my PC specs.

Mine is a first time build made from cheap/used parts. It would probably have been cheaper for me to get an ex-office Dell machine off eBay, but I wanted to build a PC for myself:

- used Asus m5a97 motherboard (cost £50 and came with Athlon II CPU (2.8 Ghz) and DDR3 2GB RAM, CPU is upgradable to anything along AMD's FX line and the RAM can be upgraded to 32GB, also has PCIe 2.0 slot for graphics card)
- Radeon HD5450 graphics card (cost £20, has both VGA and HDMI output and runs most of the games I want without any problems)
- Corsair CX500M PSU (£60, only expensive part I bought, modular cabling comes in very handy)
- used 160GB Seagate hard drive (£10, does the job and I recently acquired a 500GB Seagate which I plan to install for additional storage)
- standard internal SATA DVD drive (£15)
- standard WiFi card (£7)
- Gigabyte speakers (£7)
- used Dell keyboard (£1.50 from Cash Converters)
- used Acer optical mouse (50p from Cash Converters)
- used Dell VGA monitor (£20 from charity shop)
- hand me down PC case (free)
- Ubuntu 14.04 OS (free)

Derp, I just found the most recent specs thread, besides mine. :P viewtopic.php?t=268671 I've even posted in this thread too. Goes to show how poor my memory can be.

WDC WD20EXRX 2000 GB - boots Windows 7 64 bit - for normal use
Samsung SpinPoint SP2004C 200 GB - boots Windows XP 32 bit - for games that won't run on anything else
Samsung ST500LD001 500 GB
Two Dell U2412M 24" monitors

My secondary is:
Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV
Intel G840 Dual Core at 2800
4 GB of DDR3 1333
Samsung HD103SJ 1000 GB - boots Linux Mint Cinnamon - for normal use
WDC WD5000AAJS 500 GB - boots Windows XP 64 bit - not used any more

The same monitors on KVM switches

Both are home built because I like building computers.

Got five machines, with often four running at any particular time. 1 x Win 7, 1 x XP (legacy machine), 1 x FreeNAS, & 2 x Linux (CentOS). All built using Gigabyte mobos, Intel processors, Kingston RAM, etc. Can't remember any specifics. There are 2 screens with KVM switches, and the NAS box is accessible via a browser.

I know it looks a mess, but it's fun. The 2 Linux boxes run as webservers, 1 x production & 1 x development.

I was browsing a computer related topic and i saw this thread here. I thought i resurrect it rather than opening a new one.

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv in gunmetal grey
Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Extreme4, UEFI Version 2.30
CPU: Pentium G4400 (Overclocked to 4.6 GHz via BCLK) - My Core i5 6600k died and i needed a cheap replacement.
CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev B. (Again - needed something cheap, fast. My liquid cooler died also)
RAM: 16GB (4x4) Avexir Core Series DDR4 2400 MHz, CAS 16-16-16-36
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon 380X Nitro OC 4GB, 1040 MHz Core, 1500 MHz VRAM
Power supply: XFX TS 550W Nonmodular 80+ Bronze (Seasonic S12 Rebrand)
2.5" Storage: 120 GB Sandisk SSD (System drive) & 1TB HGST Travelstar (7K1000)
3,5" Storage: 500GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 (HD502IJ) & 500 GB WD Caviar Blue (WD5000AKS)

OS: Dualboot with Ubuntu 15.10 & Windows 7 Pro SP1.

Getting either an i5 or i7 again for it soon and i am waiting for AMDs release of their Vega GPUs in early 2017...

Peace
TK

This thing has like half as many packages as my desktop running Manjaro KDE, yet it manages to be extremely functional. I'm glad to see XFCE has adopted some of the features I've enjoyed from KDE while still keeping a light footprint.

Games box, pretty old:

Code:
* CPU: Quad AMD, ~2.8Ghz.
* Mem: 8 Gigs of ram
* 700W PSU, capable of delivering more energy than required.
* HD: 240 GB SSD (OCZ Vertex)
      500 GB SSD (Seagate)
      2 TB Seagate
* GFX: Saphire ATi 5770, 3GB GDDR5 - old but can still deliver.


I'm going to upgrade at some point, but since i'm skipping the VR bandwagon for now (staying with DK2), a hardware upgrade can wait.

I also got a gaming laptop with a high performance GPU and a SSD, also an older laptop for development (crap performance i bought a long time ago, but does the job) and a netbook i keep around for... uh, some reason. Also got another puter that my sister borrows because hers was stolen by some lowlifes.

Here's the screenfetch from my desktop, which I SSH'd into since I'm too lazy to get out of my recliner. :P

Code:
 ██████████████████  ████████     
 ██████████████████  ████████     OS: Manjaro 16.06-pre3 Daniella
 ██████████████████  ████████     Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.4.16-1-MANJARO

For parts this machine has:

- my old 1st gen Cooler Master Storm Scout case, which I intend to replace since it's falling apart
- a Corsair CS650M 650 watt power supply, this thing kept my computer running happily during a brief brownout! :D
- an ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ motherboard, since I was originally planning on making this a small formfactor build
- 16GB of Kingston HyperX 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, because I got a good deal on it
- a 1GB Radeon R7 250X GHz Edition GPU manufactured by Gigabyte, essentially the same as an OC'd Radeon HD 7770
- a 2TB Western Digital Red hard drive, which is slow as a dog, but I bought it since I wanted a drive that could run reliably 24/7
- an Athlon 860k that I keep clocked at 3.7GHz, usually it turbo boosts up to 4GHz, but I disable this feature since I'm not 100% certain my system is stable enough to handle it
- my old Pioneer DVD burner, this thing still works like a charm even after being disassembled and reassembled a number of times

It's a decent enough system, but stability under Windows isn't the greatest unfortunately. Manjaro KDE works like a charm on it though.
