I'm posting this at work. Its a PREPRODUCTION HP computer, but its fairly nifty and fast.

HP ZX6000

Itanium II 1.5Ghz 6MB L2 Cache
12GB ECC DDR Ram, dunno make or speed but its probably Crucial
ATI FireGL X1

Some HP Itanium II motherboard, 2 proc capable 1 installed, a couple PCI-X 133Mhz and a PCI 66Mhz/64bit
Some Adaptec U320 adapter
Some 15K U320 73GB HDD, dunno make/model
Some DVD-Rom drive, dunno make/model
Some HP Case, its actually kinda cool
Some POS sound card that doesnt work
Some POS speakers

Running on some Beta Windows IA-64 OS. HP-Unix is installed, but I dunno how to use it yet. Red Hat IA-64 loves to crash. This will be mine for another week or so.

Well it looks like I win. :D

Confused already posted my rig's specs a few pages back, but as a refresher of sorts:

Dual Opteron 240
Rioworks HDAMB mobo
550W PSU
12x CD-RW
SB Audigy
Leadtek TV2000XP
Gainward GeForce3

And dexvx, I laugh at your pitiful excuse for a computer. I would rather use a Mac than that worthless pile of sh!t. Put it back in the dumpster you found it in. :p

sOkay, I see a lot on hardware, what about MODS and how the case looks? If this is the "badass rig" of AT, where's the mods? :D I have my case fully sleeved with Coolermaster's ATC 210b Case. Here are my specs on it:

XP 2500+ @ 3200+ Speed
2 x 256MB of Mushkin PC3200 DDR Memory
1 x 120G 7200RPM Maxtor HD
1 x 80G 7200RPM Maxtor HD
Radeon 9700 Pro
Audigy Sound Card
TDK 52x CDRW
Toshiba 16x DVD Drive

My hardware may not be the best, but it's damned good and I think my modding will make up for it. :)

So where's the pics of these beastly systems guys? :D ;)

OK, so my system isnt too badass... (sorry for the lack of specifics, I'm on the road...)
Intel P4 Xeon 3.06
1G RAM
80G 7200RPM
40G 7200RPM
(Just sold my Dual Seagate Cheetah SCSI 15kRPM 36gb Drives, looking to upgrade to SATA)
NVidia Quadro4 900XGL 128MB
Lacie 22" Electron Blue III
Dell 19" M992
DVD-RW : Sony DW-U10A (DRU-500/510 equivalent)
DVD/CDRW : Samsung SM-348 48x24x48x (16x DVD)
INTEL PRO/1000 MT GIGABIT NIC
XP PRO



But it will be better once the bitch I bought it from comes through with everything I paid for (ie second Xeon 3.06 w/ VRM, and an audigy II)

AMD 2500 Barton @ 2.1 Ghz
512 MB Corsair PC2700 2.5 CAS
75DRV5 Soltek Mobo
ATI 9800 np @ 400/310 (<--when actually playing a game)
36 Gig Raptor 10000 RPM
80 Gig WD SE 7200 RPM
Audigy 2 with Logitec's 5.1's
Coolermaster case with 2x 80mm rear, 1 80mm front, 1 80mm on top with rounded IDE cables.

I think NFS4 and the rest of the editors/reporters has us wipped with their props from Anand. I'm sure Anand has the most bad ass PC if he actually posted on the forums.

I think that's the most verbal pain you can deal in one sentence.
