This is the PC I built in late 2012, after had enough with the heat, lag, and stupid sticky keyboard of old laptop :P Far from the cutting edge PC, but it does my work and gaming needs well enough :)

[CPU] Intel Core i5 3470 + Coolermaster 212 EVO
[MB] ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP
[RAM] 2x4 GB Corsair Vengeance
[GPU] Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X, upgraded from Gigabyte 5850 last year
[HD] WD Blue 1TB, plan to add WD Green 3TB as it already almost filled right now
[PSU] FSP Raider 550W
[Case] Thermaltake Commander Ms-I Black

Yesterday I cleaned the dust and re-pasted CPU thermal, which means take apart everything; strip the case front panel as well to able to reach the corner. Such nasty dusts can be accumulated in a couple years lol. After cleaned and assemble everything found out the PC turn off itself after 5 seconds, and then turn on, off again, and stuck in a loop. Damn.

The funny thing is, after checking component one by one, it just boot normally when I use single channel RAM config (what the..) My mind already think is it the time to buy new motherboard lol

Turns out the culprit is, after browsing many hardware forum threads, BENT CPU PIN (illustration). Never had that before, so I'm quite surprised what it can do to the system (with that weird symptom). After almost 15 minutes struggling with small screwdriver to put 1 very tiny pin to its position, all runs smoothly again. Phew.

My PC pic is attached. Not doing cable management intensely for now, because I think it will disassemble again soon to welcome new case.

My newest Rig - Built January 2015, It's not much better than my old one but I had some financial help with that and part of me never fully appreciated it. This time I wanted to buy one fully funded by me, the result was satisfying:

OS: Linux Mint 17.1 64bit (MATE Edition)

CASE: CoolerMaster Cosmos SE

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H81M-D2V

CPU: Intel Core i5-4590

RAM: 2x 4GB (8GB total) Kingston HyperX Fury

GPU: EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB

PSU: Corsair CX600 600W

DISPLAY: Asus VS247 24" / 1920x1080 Max Res

I use the old one for testing purposes and LAN gaming when friends visit, I like having 2 systems. Maybe I'll buy a System76 laptop in a few months, the normal brands aren't exactly my cup of tea which is why I still don't have one yet.

Oh man, i'm drunk, only just realized how you guys laid it out.

I have 2 pc's. An old laptop, and an even older desktop pc. My proper gaming pc was destroyed in 2013 during a flood(not by water, but by power surge), and I never bothered to replace it.

My laptop, which is also my primary. Manufactured in 2010 I think.

OS: Windows 7.

CASE: Basic standard for a laptop I guess.

MOBO: Don't know.

CPU: i5 M460 2.5GHz quad core.

RAM: 2x 2GB (4GB total)

GPU: HD 5650m

HDD: 500GB HDD

PSU: Don't know.

Display 19" 1080p screen

My super old 2003 pc:

OS: Windows XP

CASE: Don't know. Decent looking, you can see inside it, and has fancy look on front.

MOBO: Don't Know. I didn't build it. Uncle did.

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz (unsure if it's single core or dual core)

RAM: 4x 1GB sticks. When I got it, it had 4x 512MB sticks.

GPU: Geforce FX 5800 128mb,

HDD: 500GB HDD Western Digital. (originally 80GB)

Display: Currently a 48" Samsung 1080p tv.

This thing actually still runs games like Skyrim on low settings, Oblivion on high settings, and Crysis on medium, except textures on low for crysis.

And the 2012 PC that died only a few months after building :( And despite not remembering certain things, I did build this pc myself.

OS: Windows 7

Case: Can't remember. It was pretty plain.

MOBO: Don't remember.

CPU: i5 2500K 3.7GHz quad core,

RAM: 2x 4GB(8GB total)

GPU: GTX 660 1GB

1TB HDD Western Digital(well it had 2 500GB HDD's)

PSU Stock no name brand 550w.

Display: Same samsung tv as previously mentioned.
