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:

http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3945.jpg

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
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3947.jpg

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 )
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3951.jpg

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
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3939.jpg

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
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3952.jpg

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:
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3958.jpg

I also decided to get a couple more 27" LED monitors to play in 3D vision surround:
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3981.jpg

Skyrim at 5760x1080 is breathtaking to say the least:
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3986.jpg

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!
http://img.techpowerup.org/120314/IMG_3985.jpg
Awesome as always Warlock How many 580s do you have total now?

Thanks I have 4 in total, got the 4th one for my main rig, but decided to use it to build a new rig using parts from my previous SB build to have a PC in my bedroom again, I don't think a 4th card would have made much of a difference on my SB-E build with the new cards being released in the past few months, wanted to upgrade to some 7970s afterwards, but they are not compatible with my monitors for 3D unfortunately

Thank you! I can't wait for Heart of the Swarm to be released!

Are you playing Skyrim too? I have tried to avoid the official thread to avoid any potential spoilers have you finished the main quest yet? It's so much better than Oblivion's

Right now I'm so hooked on Skyrim, I haven't even started Mass Effect 3 I might probably just finish the main quest and then play some other games while doing a side quest when I have time like I did with Oblivion
