i think this will be a good thread.
I want to see yours  , Nothing dirty. I want to see what pc's you have and what home entertainment systems you have.
Heres my PC:
So what do you think.
Also before you say why do i have so many of the same consoles its because i fix them so was testing them earlier.

nice gav, I see you have the old Akasa Acrylic case. A 6800 GS ( not bad but would have gone for a 6600 GT or the 6800GT ).
That monitor best be DVI mate, 2ms is imense for a response time.

yes it is DVI  as for the card, it was the only one i could afford at the time of building my new system so got that one too tide me over, as my old card isnt a PCI-E so cudnt use it, also made a few changes too the case, put my own hole in the side for a fan and also on the to.

you already know my opinion on your case planty. Still tho, not a bad setup with dual monitors.

I dont remember you commenting on it before mate but i appreciate that most people wont like it TBH but for £25 i cant complain and i personally havent had any problems with it so i'm 
HOWEVER, i have just built my mrs's PC into her new Thermaltake case from overlockers and its a superior case in all respects but not cheap.
Heres the case:
Case Spec - bout 2/3 down the page

thermaltake sharks are cool, personally i prefer the Tsunami( bad naming but was out before all that happened).
Cant go wrong with Thermaltake cases.

completely agree mate - so much better to work with and build into. She has a tsunami dream case at work which TBH is similar to some of the thermaltakes.
I am tempted to get a proper case but i want to work on the spec first. Its only a sempron 2600+, 1gb RAM, and 128mb gfx. Will have to see how my money goes because i already have a spare case so dont want to buy another one and have 2 empty cases lying around

Socket 754 is being phased out mate, if you were to get a new processor i would recommend skt 939 or even 940 ( would have to buy DDR 2 ram tho for 940 )

i would recommend AM2 Skt 940 tho. Newest slot out and its worth it because your already gonna have to shell out for a new mobo and processor. Ram isnt that much nowadays £50 will get you around 1gb

TBH im not after mind blowing performence, the x2 will do me fine, just want something better than the sempron plus i need it as cheap as possible
Also my graphics card is AGP (i know ) so i need a mobo that has an AGP socket (which the mobo my mrs will sell me has). Im guessiong that the 940 boards wont offer this as we struggled to find one that would run the AGP and dual core processor tbh

you can get a few skt 939 boards with AGP but you wont be getting them for 940 i beleive.
In your situation i would probably recommend the 4000 + as its at a really good price at the mo.
