What kind of system you running now?

I am thinking my system is getting old now...I have stretched it pretty far, but I think later this year I am going to have to upgrade to something new.

Here is what I have:

Antec Matrix Case (Yellowsno)
Enermax 350 watt PSU
AMD XP 2500+ overclocked to 3000+
1 GB DDR PC3200 RAM
250GB WD Primary hard drive
40GB IBM Secondary/backup drive
Nvidia 6600GT Video Card
DVD Drive
CDRW Drive
Audio Amplifier/Spectrum Analyzer
TV Tuner Card with remote
19" ACER Flatscreen monitor

So far it runs everything pretty smoothly, but I know that soon it will become choppy. BF2 can bring it to its' knees if there is a 50+ person firefight going on.

Yellowsno is a good name for that... (jk)

Anywho here is mine:
Chaintech VNF4/Ultra
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Corsair XMS 1GIG dual channel
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 250GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150
Antec SmartPower 2 400W
XFX Geforce 6800GT 256MB RAM
cheap DVDr drive, no floppy... forgot

But my desktop has gone into storage to help me focus on school. So now I'm on my Gateway tablet. (I'm still shocked that I get 5+ hours from the standard battery.)

And there's two more fully loaded power strips duct-taped together just above the one you can see...

Well... part of the reason is that the heat in the spring/summer/fall around here REALLY kills a system. It's only been cool enough this winter to really allow me to think seriously about oc'ing.

The newQ website is down... I really like the platinum one with the FM tuner... I need to get a real soudcard in my machine first... Onboard Audio isn't all that great with my Klipsch THX Speakers...
