Funny to see myself quoted after all this time. I actually ended up putting a figure inside my new case after switching it and the CPU cooler from my old ones.

Does this count? It's a bit older, but it's great for games. :p
Facetiousness aside, here's my main PC. It's a bit long in the tooth in some respects, but it's held up well. I'll try to grab some better pics when I get home. I've also got a few retro PCs that could be fun to show off.

750 GB SSD for games
2 2TB HDDs in RAID 1 for storage
USB 3.1 card (can't remember the brand)

Im kind of tempted to downgrade my ram to 16GB (2x8) and use the extra cash to upgrade the 1070 to a 1080. Ram prices are kind of crazy right now and I bought 32gb back when it was CHEAP (like under $150) and don;t think I am using anywhere near all of it. The 1080 would definitely help push the pixels on my 34" monitor (I only had a 27" back when I built the rig).
This is the best looking PC in this thread. I'm dead serious. This is so soothing to look at, I don't know what it is, maybe it's perfectly matching white color and nicely beveled edges on all components. Maybe I just grew weary of all these over the top builds nowadays cluttered with LEDs and what not.
Wow, some really great set-ups' in this thread!
Sorry about the poor picture quality.
Not slothman but that is the famous Phanteks Evolv ATX TG case. They do the tempered glass in different size variants now, all the way down to the ITX form factor.
Bought this beast for $10 on Craigslist. It's a Pentium Dual-Core, 2x2 GB DDR2, HD 5450 1GB rig. Booted up like a charm after cleaning and new thermal paste. Oh, and the ziptie in the 5.25" bay is to hold down a 2.5" HDD since the case has no slots for 2.5" drives and I don't have a spare 2.5" to 3.5" adapter handy.
Gonna overclock the CPU and later swap in my GT 740 for some 720p/900p gaming goodness plus benchmarking for fun. After that, I'll mod the motherboard to install a Xeon X5460 I picked up for $10.

I'd swap out that PSU... Diablotek PSUs are cheap nasty and potential fire risk PSUs.... see Tier 5
