Hey all,
I finally decided to get around to posting my computer on here, as I was making a lot of changes since I originally joined.
Long story short, I won a new computer, built it, didn't like the new case, and then had to move everything back into the old case. It has all been a very arduous process.
I know the GTX 260 looks out of place amidst the more recent things, but I plan on buying a 580 very soon. And the wiring is slightly better than the last picture shows, but I didn't go to any great lengths to hide the cables whatsoever. They're not blocking any fans, so I'm cool with it.

Everything on the right side was free except for the RAM, I felt 4 GB wasn't enough
