I've posted this before, but I'll leave it here as well if this thread becomes the official show-off-your-build thread.

There's been a few changes since I took this pic. The photo shows two crossfired 6950s, but I replaced them with a single 7970 and a full-cover block. I also replaced all my radiator fans with Scythe Gentle Typhoons. Too lazy to take new pictures until my next upgrade -- probably haswell.

Specs:
Case: HAF 932 Advanced Blue
Radiators
XSPC EX240
XSPC RS240
Swiftech MCR-QP 120 (the one with extra g1/4 threads for parallel. Both holes are capped with silver plugs).
Blocks
XSPC Razor 7970 full-cover block
Swiftech XSPC Rasa CPU block
Pump/Res: Dual Bay Res top for Laing D5 Vario
Fittings, etc.
7/16x5/8 Durelene Tubing
XSPC compression fittings
Bitspower Rotary fittings
Fans
5 x Scythe Gentle Typhoons (1850 rpm) (not pictured)

PC
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
i7-2600k @ 5.0Ghz
MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC Radeon HD 7970 (not pictured)
CORSAIR Vengeance 4 x 4GB (16gb) DDR3 1600
Samsung 830 256GB
2x WD Caviar Black 1TB
COUGAR-1000CMX 1000W
Sunbeam PL-RS-6 Rheosmart 6 Fan Controller
Some old LG Blu-Ray burner from 2009

Is it bad that I can look at your picture and know immediately what motherboard you have? lol

somewhat tangential to the original discussion, but I was pretty unimpressed with Haswell's benchmarks when TH ran their battery of tets

I have a friend that wants to build a non gaming PC. Very simple needs. Doesn't need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, just looking for plenty of storage for pictures and music and really only going to use it to browse the internet and check email sort of thing. Would want a legal version of windows 7 or 8. He has a $300 price point in mind. With such minimal needs, would a custom build be worth it for him, or should he just stick with an off-the-shelf PC? If we do custom, any input would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
