Just wondering.... What kind of computer is everyone here using?

my computer:
HP Pavilion a6750f (tweaked)

Tweaks:
- Changed to full tower case (more space, better air flow)
- Upgraded ALL fans (better air / cooling)
- Upgraded Power Supply
- Removed 15 in 1 card reader
- Removed internal USB wireless adaptor
- Added ASUS PCE-N13 wireless card
- Added 1 TB Hard Drive (which replaced the dead 750 GB)
- Added 80GB Hard Drive (for backups)
- Upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 64 to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and Ubuntu / Debian
- Upgraded to GeForce GT430 1 GB Graphics Card (was on-board ATI 3200HD)
- Added Vizio 32" HDTV w/full 1080-HD (VOJ320F1A) (Video and Sound HDMI)

Planed tweaks:
- Replace hard drive with solid state drive
-Upgrade RAM from 8GB PC6400 to max 16GB PC6400
-Upgrade CPU from AMD Phenom 4X 9650 to AMD Phenom II 4x 965 Black Edition
-Upgrade Power Supply (again)

MUCH later tweaks / Unsure tweaks:
- Add Blu-ray-RW
 
An HP PC from Wal-Mart. Nuff said.

I added some kind of graphics card and upgraded the ram but that's about it.

Too lazy to look up specs.

Crappy, but free. Because it's a work issued one :p

It cost way to much but it's sweet as honey. :D
 
Coolermaster HAF X tower (I think), with 3 ish fans
Coolermaster Hybrid Pro 850W PSU (I mostly go this one for the fan control, after installing it my computer have barely made a noise)
Asus P67 Sabretoothe motherboard (with "thermal armor")
Intel i7 2600k I think
nVidia GTX 560 (one of the rebranded ones, can't remember which one)
8GB RAM (2x 4GB Corsair Vengance)
3 HDD (500GB, 1TB and 1 120 SSD)
I have one external wireless dongle, I think it is a rebranded Ralink chip, made by Jensen Scandinavia. I got it from my ISP once, never saw a need to replace it. I also have an external 2 TB disk, which I mostly bought because my dad was getting one and it was very cheap. I really don't have any need for it ATM, but you never know when the need arises. I have bought the parts on and off for the past year or two, quite pleased with the result. Entire thing is running Windows 7 64 bit, I don't remember which edition, but one of the top tier ones. I used to run Xubuntu on it, and all the hardware worked pretty good on it, but then I started gaming on my computer, and I never booted in to Linux after that, so I just scrapped it all together.

I have the beast connected throuhg HDMI to my 40 inch LED TV, sound through some Logitech PC speakers, which are insanely good. I also have Logitech MX5500 wireless keyboard and mouse, which I highly recommend, if only for the mouse (MX Revolution). I have two Revolutions, and the oldest one is between 3 - 5 years (or maybe more), the newest one is less than a year, and the only difference between the two is the fact that one is bluetooth and the other is not. Unfortunately it is a strict right handed mouse, but you can use your left hand for it as well, but it is not as comfortable then (I can use both hands on the mouse).
