My upgrade just arrived yesterday, I won't get a chance to put it all together until tonight though.
AMD 64 3000+
new MOBO, SLI ready
Nvidia 6800GT
2 Gigs of ram.
In case anyone wants to know, newegg.com ships there stuff out mucho quick. I chose standard 2-3 day shipping, they had my order on a fedex truck in two hours.
Ordered at 2:30PM Tuesday, got my stuff 11:30AM Thursday, from CA to NH pretty damn quick and only $3.50 shipping and handling.

I figure you better go out and buy some
batteries for a flashlight, when you turn that baby on
i expect the lights to dim in your house and maybe the
whole neighborhood

That is really nice Monstrous!

I was going to get 6800 Ultras and 160gb drives.
I've always had a really good computer, but never a top end computer.

So I decided to really treat myself this time around.

Probably won't happen again for several years.

Wow, you didn't compromise at all did you? I bet the Fedex guys will bring it to you in a container that looks like the 'Ark of the Covenant' from Indiana Jones

That is going to be one awe inspiring rig!

You won't need to with that machine. It will probably still get the job done four years from now.
I'll be interested to hear if you have any lag issues. I figure you machine is a good control to narrow down net-code or server-side lag.
My new rig i still a couple weeks away, but as long as we're all bragging:
Falcon NW Talon
Silverstone 650W Power Supply
Asus A8N-SLI MB
Athlon 64 3500+
Zalman cooler
2GB PC3200 DDR RAM
(1) NVidia GeForce 6800 GT PCIE
Seagate 80GB HD 7,200 rpm
On-board audio
When I get a few more $, I'll add another 6800 and an audio card.
Sigh... should have ordered it earlier...

Sweet box!

Why add an audio card?!?!

The onboard sound with these Asus boards ROCKS!!!!!


Also, the Deluxe A8N board is just a little bit more; look at first before you order.
