My setup at home.  The headphones are right above the JVC console.  I hope to pickup some D7100s and show them off with stand on top of the desk.

This is my simple setup
 
Computer

Speakers

Got the amp and speakers from my dads old setup.
 

 

 

Nice setup! Very clean. I like the desk and the room color.

I may not have the best audio equipment, but my actual computer is probably in the top 10.

The actual computer. This is a temporary home and I hate having the computer here.
I have a super nice L desk in the basement, but we had to redo the drywall in a few places.

 
Amp and headphones. Headphones are BRAINWAVZ HM5's and the amp was looted from the TV when we moved it out of the basement.

 
 
And here's my desktop.
1993 IMB Model M is the top keyboard, Corsair M90 is the mouse.
And then I'm just over here running Mountain Lion because I'm a bad ass and don't have to choose between Mac and PC.

Cute setup. Remember it, for it will be the start of a great (and expensive) journey!

Yes. Sorry about your wallet.

Starting to see that!

It's a thread to show off your computer rigs.
As far as specs go, mine is likely pretty high on the list, as this is an audio forum, not a hardware forum.
 
Perhaps the thread was only for audio equipment, or perhaps it just immediately went that direction.
The OP wasn't specific.

Nice rig.
 
I think the only thing I got you beat is the SSD. I got a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB. 
 
The rest of my PC probably should be updated... Currently using an i7-940, 6 GB of RAM and a GTX 560 Ti. Might go for a GTX 770 or 780.

I would wait for the 8000 series and get an 8950 or 8970.
nVidia has sucked since the 8800 and 9800 cards. The entire GTX name cycle has been a flop.
With the exception of the GTX Titan, the 7000 series, dollar for dollar, is still as or more powerful, and it was released January of 2012.

And even with the Titan, dual 7970 GHz cost the same and is considerably more powerful.
 
And nice SSD. The 840 Pro's weren't out when I bought mine, and the 830's were a fair amount slower.
Wish I had waited, but that's how the computer world works, I guess.

The main reason why I do not go go Radeon / even AMD is because of how much power it drains along with driver and heat issues. My 4850 ran way too hot and loud when not overclocked in a moderately high air flow case and finding the right driver was a nightmare. Just made me want to stay away from them. I'll post my rig soon. Just upgraded to a 4770k waiting for Maxwell so keeping my SLI'd 260 c216s as I'm waiting for a larger performance bump and Im wanting the scalability of Maxwell's SLI.

Also another factor now is that I have an ASUS VG248QE so id like to go nVidia for when Im looking to experience 3D gaming. Heard it's much more enjoyable than the 3D movies have and the like.

My 7970 idles at 23-30C (Depending on ambient) and only goes up to 66C while BitCoin mining.
As for the drivers, if you download the latest CCC package, it automatically installs the correct driver.
 
The hottest card in recent times was the GTX 480, maxing out at up to 120C, so I'm curious where this AMD runs too hot thought comes from.
