As you can tell, it's a work / multimedia (audio) PC. Newer games run well, but it's not cutting edge.

Here are two messy pics from about April of the workstation:

And finally, a recent screenshot:

Screen

2 Quad-Core Xeon, 3.2ghz processors, 4mb L2 cache
2 nvidia Quadro FX 5500-PCI Express x16 cards each with 1gb gdr2 sli'd together
Kingston 16gb DDR2 Fully-Buffered DIMM 667 MHz ECC memory

I'm running XP Pro-x64...no Vista for me yet due to too many of my programs won't run right under it yet...strange how they'll run under x64 but not Vista...

...yes, it is truely a beast and came with a beastly price tag but will pay for itself this year in the productivity it gives me...oh and I'm also running 2 SyncMaster 24" widescreens that run at 2ms, 3000:1 at 1680 x 1050.

how can i check my computer speed ?? lolz i dont know

In Windows the simplest way is to press winkey+break. Or you can press winkey+r and type dxdiag into the run box and press OK.

I just built my new setup! Waiting to overclock it this weekend actually, got a nice liquid cooling system arriving tomorrow :D Here are my computers specs as of right now...

Raidmax Smilodon Case
700w Raidmax RX-700SS ATX Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU
ASUS P5N32-E 680i Motherboard
2gb Mushkin Xp2-8500
BFG 640mb 8800GTS OC'ed out the box to 580mhz (wanted the GTX but wasn't in stock at the time so I grabbed the GTS up, new card comes out in november anyways so it's worth not buying the GTX right now)
160gb Western Digital Caviar (for stability when overclocking)
2xLG dual layer 18x DVD RW Drives
Thermaltake Maxorb CPU Cooler (totally amazing!)
