Hello guys, I haven't posted in a long time in this thread, my main rig is basically complete, at least until Kepler is released and I finally decide if I'll update my video cards
I decided to update my two other rigs, and here are some pics I wanted to share with you:
This is my newest build, it's in my bedroom, and lately is seeing most of my gaming:

I'm very proud of this little fella, it's capable of running
any current game maxed out and it's also really quiet due to the fact that the H100 radiator is outside the case

Here's the TV I use for gaming in my bedroom, I need to lock my keyboard, mouse and controller when I'm not around, otherwise my 2 yr old will make short work of them (notice his chalk graffiti on the wall
)

Now here are my new video cards, two EVGA GTX480s in SLI, got these cards on sale at Newegg for $219 each! Better performance than a 7970 for over $100 less

This is my game room setup, I need the extra horse power from those 480s to drive a 58" 3D Plasma, my old 285s were cutting it anymore, that ugly cable there is the kinect cable, I need to drive it through the wall along the other cables, just haven't been able to

Finally a picture most of you guys have already seen before, my main rig, the only difference is the new 1.5 kilowatt PSU I got to feed whatever cards I decide to replace my 580s with in the near future:

I also decided to get a couple more 27" LED monitors to play in 3D vision surround:

Skyrim at 5760x1080 is breathtaking to say the least:

It's a shame I cannot show you the 3D effect in pictures, when I raid the dungeons I feel like I'm really there, with the 3D effect surrounding almost my entire field of view, the surround ambient sound only amplifies the effect, and the fights against dragons (two of them at times!) on the open fields are truly epic!
