Was bored so decided to start a thread where everyone can share pictures of there computer/gaming setups. I'm curious if there are other Hyundai owners out there that blow more money on electronic gizmos then their cars Below are some pics of my setup.

64bit Win7 HP
HAF 932 Case
Intel Core i7 965 (xigmatech black nickel air-cooled)
6 GB Corsair Triple Channel RAM
2 EVGA GTX 295's
Intel X25-M 80GB SSD
Barracuda 2TB HDD
Asus P6T Deluxe mobo
7 year old microsoft optical mouse
Ikonik 1200W PS

A very old 17" Vaio on XP Pro
A new but crappy Toshiba Satellite On Vista HP (black friday door buster)
A newer and very nice MacBook Pro. on Mac OSX




The most incredible computer case I've ever seen is the Dark Blade computer.

Acer Aspire 1410 12" laptop and a basic dual-core Pentium tower hooked to my home theater set-up. That's it. Oh, and a Win 98SE box for playing my old Jane's simulator games.

I do, because I have software on my primary XP installation that I can't afford to lose. Otherwise I would just run it in a VM under Ubuntu. I have an XP VM in Ubuntu, but when I'm using some specific software I have to run it in my original XP installation.

There may be a way to import my entire XP installation into a VM, but I don't know how. If you do, link me. Especially if I can copy it instead of straight moving it.
