  • ASUS P6X58D Premium
  • 3x4GB PC3-12800 (triple-channel)
  • 2x ATi FirePro 3D V8800
  • 64GB OCZ Vertex 2
  • 500GB 7200RPM HDD

Upgrades to parents' desktop, too:

  • ASUS P8Z68V-LX
  • 4GB+2x2GB PC3-12800 (dual-channel)
  • Radeon HD 6950

And a new basic recording studio computer for my friend?

  • Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0)
  • 6x2GB PC3-10666 (triple-channel)
  • Radeon HD 5450
...Except that Gigabyte motherboard supports up to 14 hard drives, and I have a bunch of the spinning kind lying around. I also have a pretty big case just sitting there, empty. Maybe a 6Gb/s RAID0 system drive and a 3Gb/s RAID10 data drive? Just for fun? I mean, why not, right?

Also, finished Hexen II and man, that game is all kinds of rough. Need to talk more about that series some time soon; my memories were brought into question after recently playing through the first three games and their expansion packs... Still have to finish-up Portal of Peaevus and Heretic II though. Also, GRAVEN.
