Hi guys,
Here's my setup. I just checked my purchase order history to help with listing the items as it was nearly 3 years ago when I built it. As you can see from the photos, I used to play a lot of online poker and with my profits I decided to do this project.
Before having that PC, I was just sitting on the floor with a cushion grinding online poker with the laptop on the coffee table.

Other comments:
My wife's PC is the one on the right with the Samsung 24" monitor and Antec 900 case.
A few months ago when I helped build my friend's PC, who has 3 x 30" Dell Monitors with his rig, I was tempted to get a couple of those monitors too but decided it wasn't justified as I don't play much poker now.
Here's a link to a review for my case - the second picture shows where the 6 hard drives are at the bottom. It is designed so they can be pulled out and swapped which I really like.
