Hehe - I only use mine for video editing/rendering:
 
Thinking of an upgrade sooner or later

-Running Windows XP 32 bit (YEAHH BABY!)
-E6500 @2.93 dual core, OC'ed to 3.53ghz per core
-Nvidia 7600 GT (oh i remember playing that on the highest quality on BF2142 )!
-2GB OCZ Platinum RAM - Can't put more, as ASUS are world class idiots (long story short, spent money for repairs, when they needed to update my BIOS as my CPU was newer than the board, so my board doesn't accept more than 2GB...)
-ASUS P5K premium
-2TB HDD's
-Edimax EW-7728
-Asus Xonar D1
 
-20" ASUS PW201 monitor & use it as my screen to play on the 360 via DVI to HDMI lead !

-Sound system: Logitech Z-5500
 
-Old school case:
 

 
My old motherboard (above) lol
 
 

 
(I also had LED lights in there, but now don't use em )

Is Bitcoin mining actually economical?  Like, can you get back a profit after factoring in electricity and reasonable payback time on the computer?
 
I just got this beautiful Thinkpad W510:
 
1920x1080 95% Adobe gamut 15.6" display
Core i7-820QM processor
12 gb RAM
160 gb 7200 rpm HDD (I don't use much space, so SSD is coming soon)

are you talking about mine?
If so - its old school white matte lol

White Matte, Beige, close enough.

It's a case color that used to be all the rage, but has since left on the side of the road as "dated" and "ugly as sin".

But not you, you're bringing it back. How hip of you!

Man I should spray paint my rig beige. Irony.

yeaaaahhh maaaaayyynnneee
 
EDIT:
In fact I'm looking to upgrade my PC...soon, not immediately, any of you guys got recommendations?
I want to keep it below £700, I'm from the UK, and prefer having it pre-made rather than custom build it
I would be using it only for video editing, not gaming.

i LOVE seeing that a few are still running the good old Socket A AMD Athlons in here. My rig used to be a lot more overclocked than it is, watercooled... i've added hard drives(!) over the years
 
AMD XP-M1600 @ 2400mhz (actual, not XP rating)
DFI Infinity Rev A NF2 (Nvidia Soundstorm sound)
1gb Corsair BH-5 DDR PC3200 @ 240mhz CL2 11-2-2-2
Asus Geforce4 Ti4200 128mb
custom heatsink
Coolermaster ATCS-201 case
Tagan 480w PSU
Samsung Spinpoint 80gb IDE (c
ditto SATA 500gb temporary storage drive
Xenta 2.4ghz Laser Mouse
cheap keysonic usb mini keyboard and a quite old IBM business keyboard (ps/2)
Homemade sound output switcher to switch between Sony MDR-EX35 and a seperates hi-fi with eltax liberty floorstanders
 
(in a DIY USB 10x HDD switcher caddy)
2x Seagate 2tb
2x seagate 1.5tb
samsung spinpoint 500gb
IDE Hitachi GXP 120gb
 
still going strong, still reasonably snappy with a stripped down winXP and carefully chosen software - for example, i still use winamp 2.95. Only really used as a browser/chatter/media centre/downloader type pc although i've edited a few mp3s recently. I'm so happy with this pc and its now low power my next one is going to be one of those netbook CPUs on a mini-itx motherboard.

Can't wait for ivy Bridge so I can finally update this computer...though if the floods don't clear up I don't think I'm going to still...

I never recommend alienware for prebuilt performance computers. There are plenty of groups that will do it and get you better hardware for less, like "Falcon Northwest".

In the UK, overclockers and chillblasters are good custom PC sites
