Show us your rig thread

I have been to various forums concerning computers, tech-heads, and gurus of the computing world. Most have a 'show me your rig thread'. I though perhaps I would kick it off. Let see those super rigs and the everyday run of the mill beaters that have seen you through the years.

Can't I just brag about it? I don't have a camera...

Nice idea AVG, I'll just demand my brother brings his camera next time he visits.

*edit:

Nice case by the way.

(can't believe I forgot that

)
Should atract some positive attention at a LAN-party, impresive light scheme. Should make tinkering a lot easier too (I've been known to lay on the ground next to my case with a screwdriver in 1 hand and a light in the other

).

Great! I would like to see it

I would take photos of mine, but the only camera i have is built into the display.

Anyhow its a Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop with
T9600 Intel Core2 Duo 2.8ghz (6mb cache, 1066 fsb) cpu
6gb DDR3 1066mhz ram
ATI mobility RADEON HD 3670 512mb ram
500gb 7200rpm sata drive
and the usual crap (x8 DVDRW, Wireless-N (3x3), basic 16" display, etc)

It sits on a NZXT Cryo LX laptop cooler (if your in the market for a laptop cooler this one is top notch but meant only for tabletop use)
and plugs into a 22 inch LG monitor (i love it as it is 4:3 switchable which is perfect for old games).
I've got X-540 speakers, X-52 HOTAS joystick, 1tb My book USB hard drive, 7 port USB hub, and USB mouse and keyboard for it as well.

For a laptop its a pretty potent gaming rig, and keeps me portable as a student. Only down side though is with the standard 6 cell it only has 2.5 hours of battery life with custom maximum battery saving settings. Which sucks for my 3 hour lectures in rooms that don't have any accessible wall sockets.

What case is that?

That looks like my case:

@Nikimcbee,,

Raidmax Sagitta II case. I was a bit leary of the airflow but the front panel intake has the large fan and the side fan with the rear exhaust. It run cool.
