Well, I last upgraded my systems years ago, so it's pretty outdated now D: I wish I had the money for a new rig, but money has been tight at the moment. This one works good as it is, so the upgrade will have to wait.
Here are my specs-

OS- Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit- I'm hoping to upgrade to Ultimate soon so I get Virtual Xp and play some old games  ;D
RAM-  Geil Black Dragon 12.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3
Intel Core i7 920
Power Supply Unit- OCZ StealthXStream 600 Watt
Motherboard- Asus 1366 P6T SE
Asus Radeon HD 4650- unfortunately this one was a last minute replacement. My Nvidia card died on me and I had to have something cheap so I could install Windows. So I had to pick this.
Harddrive- Samsung F3 EcoGreen 2TB
Monitor- Benq V2210- backlit monitors are the best thing ever.
Keyboard- Logitech Ultrathin Illuminated Keyboard
Mouse- Steel Series Kinzu
Monitors- Logitech Z-10

I like that you kept a CRT monitor- I wish CRT would make a comeback. As a gamer who plays retro games, a CRT TV is a must. Otherwise the games are all pixellated and ugly.

I'm nursing a Sims 3 addiction at the moment  :P

Marine-Life figures (which often overlap nicely with dinos), coins (pennies mostly) and I inherited my great-grandmother's collection of thimbles which I'm adding onto with my own small collection.

I also recently bought a Crosely media-player with a vinyl-turntable and I'm picking up all the lovely music I can find.

;D  Your listening to records?

Weaver

Yeah, got a few from my Dad. It's so..... hands-on. I love putting a new record on, flipping to the B-side and cranking up the volume. It's fun. <3

Tylosaurus

Every collection has to start somewhere ;) We all had once a small collection but in time your will grow like many of ours did likewise :) As for marine life, there are plenty of those hehe Take a good look around in the collections section to get a few idea's :)

Hah Godzilla's were cool. here my late 80's to early 90's oldest are from 1985, they are from the movie Godzilla 1985, one of the first good remakes of this old film the big one is from 1987 from Dor Mei U.K.R.D. and the two mustard yellow/purple ones are from 1993, dunno their exact brand though:





The two headed dragon and that little yellow dragon I call the "Golden Dragon" are from Dungeon & Dragons Toy series from 1987

Godzillasaurinae :)  That's the family name I gave these  ^-^ *orthocone*

top off my list i have a large live animal collection :). I have a 95gal marine tank with fish and corals and i have a large number of reptiles; mainly snakes.

Cool! I have a 60gal reef tank & a Carpet Python. ;D



Well im nOt totally sure but i do have a good idea. What i think happened was my circulation pump came lose during the night( it circulated 1100 gph) and swepted away alot of sand from under some of my reef rocks and they went forward and "POW"! It happened at 3AM so no one was awake to fix the issue before the disaster happened. Needless to say my next reef set up, the rocks will be GLUED in!


Oh thats awesome! When i move im goin to be upgrading to a 120g. This time im goin to build a crazy rockscape and use only LED lights. Ive found some cheap awesome reef LEDs that are by a hydroponics company. I did have 2 marine tanks(2x95g) one was fish only and one was a reef but a few months ago my reef tank busted! Like entire front glass GONE!! So i had to combine the two :(. lost 90% of the reef tank animals! I have 1 acropora and several soft corals left but the rest are toast!

As for snakes, no pythons but id love to have a whitelip python and a viper boa!
I mainly have kings, gophers(pines), and exotic rat snakes. I have a few lizards too! My green basilisks are my babies!

What caused the glass to break?  I use to keep tropical fish.  I did have the heater go out and raise the water temperature drastically.  I lost a lot of fish then.  I also had problems when the Air Conditioning in the house went out for several days.

Well some know that I am I'm a major Star-Wars fan hehe, two weeks ago I completed my Star-Wars Starfighter display; click to enlarge the pics

Gold Squadron:




Raven Squadron:




Dagger Squadron:




It was my mother's idea to use curtain rails to hang these up on my flat, but very high ceiling, which measures 2,65M from the ground up :) So her idea in combination with my reel of 25 pound Australian nylon fishing linemade this the perfect solution to hang up these critters 8)

In total there are 21 StarWars Starfighters and 4 G.I.Joe's hanging up, the skies are the limit when it comes to such large scale models :P Since I had no room for placing them elsewhere, this did it all ^-^
