Teh wonderful upside-down manual was the biggest give-away

Oh, its was Splinter Cell, guy with green background logo made me this is was BF2: Special forces. BF 2142 was an epic fail for the record, because Battlefield 2 still has more players playing.

TF2 became my favorite game over the last 3 days. I play on servers that are based in Toronto with only 5 ping lol. I've never played online with such a low ping in my life before TF2, there are so many servers!

How's that LG monitor? Are they very maneuverable at all?

Sooo many fans in the beast of a computer, can we start a windmill company?

I bet I can guess!

XFX/EVGA either 680i or 780i motherboard

OCZ Platinum (rev2?) Ram

the hard part: Either 7900GT or 8800GT(S?) videocards running in SLI

Enermax (ew) Liberty powersupply

with a northbridge fan that shouldn't be installed becuase that is for liquid cooling only and with that on your breaking the flow of air to your heatsink ;-)

nice setup, and the only reason why i know the mobo and stuff is cuz i have the EXACT same setup cept:

Coarsair SLI certified C5 Ram

Enermax Liberty powersupply

BFG 7900GTX

EVGA 680i motherboard

2 WD 250KS HD's in raid (striped)

Not that far.
XFX nforce 680i SLI
2 x 2GB of OCZ Platinum CL 5-4-4-15 (not revision 2)
For the Video Cards, those are XFX 8800 GT factory OC. I would have build a system like that with 7900 GT, a waste of money if you ask me.
Enermax Infiniti 650W.
The nb fan is installed because my nb is a little bit to hot(around 60C at idle) for my taste when the fan is not installed. Beside, it's not only for liquid cooling and the fan is set to 50% only.

As for the part you can't see, the HDDs, I have a WD 500 GB SE16 used for storage and a WD 150 GB Raptor for my OS(Vista 64).

Wow!

Mind if I ask what's in the computer case and what are you using your 3 monitors setup for?

Maybe it's because his wallpaper won't fit on anything smaller - just a nuisance.

I used to do some website design (http://simplify.ws/) in the past, as well as editing my photos. I've stopped since, and now - they're just really useful for homework and games (surround racing with my G25 wheel). I actually got inspired by my dad's setup at work (which is far more impressive than mine).

What's in the case? For starters, it's a NZXT LEXA Blackline case (which is decent, but I got it mostly for the look).

Specs are as follows:

Internal:
Intel Core2Quad Extreme QX9650 (3.0GHz w/ 45nm) w/ Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
eVGA nForce 780i Motherboard
2GB OCZ "SLI" RAM
Dual eVGA 8800 Ultra with "Quick SLI-mode switch" (with the use of three DVI switches, and TripleHead2Go)
OCZ EliteXStream 1000W PSU
Hauppauge PVR-150 TV Tuner
Western Digital 150GB 10,000RPM Raptor (Really little, as all (or most) of my data is stored on the HP EX470 Home Server with 4TB space)
Random Internal DVD & External LG DVD Drive

External:
Triple Samsung 226BW 22" Screens
Sony Wireless 5.1 Dream System DAV-HDX900W
Sony Vaio UX280P (w/ UX390N not shown)
Logitech diNovo Edge & MX Revolution
HP Home Server EX470 (w/ 4TB)
Apple 8GB iPhone
Kinoca Minolta Colour Laser Printer
Logitech G25 Wheel & Replica Bride Racing seat (not shown)
