Forgive me if there has been a thread like this before. I used the search button and nothing came up. Basically just curious as to what everyone is using in their PC and what their desktops look like.

My specs:
Asrock Extreme 3 970
AMD FX 4100 OCed to 4.40 GHz
Sapphire 6850 slight OC 900/1200 2 gig vram
8 gig corsair vengeance ram

I went with the economy build and must say it runs pretty well, regardless of everyone hating on the FX series CPUs.

I have a dualboot PC. I run Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Xubuntu 11.10 x64
Desktop Screenshots:
Windows 7 with patched uxtheme.dll


Xubuntu with compiz, emerald, and Cairo Dock:


I look forward to see what everyone else is running and to see some awesome desktop pics.

[LoverboySimer]

This is gonna be interesting @Pirate plz front page it and start a competiton for the best desktop, something like that

[LoboGuara]

Running steam via wine? Good to know that this works, never tried before!

Nice build!

[RafaSimpsons]

Good build you have there.

Omg yes finally that uses Xubuntu like me :O, I've got (about a year old budget build):
I5-2500k
H67-mu3 mobo
4gb 1333mhz ram
Gts 450 gfx

That's it really and an old case :P built it all for under £250 (mostly all sale items).

Oh and for OSes I run Xubuntu 12.04 and windows 8 CP. I'll get some screenshots when I get home, but my budget build is nothing like the other builds I'm sure.

@LoboGuara I mainly wanted to run steam for my friends list, bt I have managed to get some games playable Skyrim works very well in wine.

@ps3hacker12 Yeah I really like xubuntu. You can go very light with XFCE, or you can go a little heavier by adding compiz and other UI tweaks. The best part is no unity

I haven't messed with custom themes since XP and I have changed it about 3 times since the first post. I primarily use Windows for gaming and the 360 tools that I use. My xubuntu install has really grown on me, and I find myself in that partition a lot more than I do in my windows partition.

My build:

Asus Crosshair V Formula AM3
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8 stock
Evga 560 GTX
6gb OCZ flex edition (the ones that goes with wc)

CM 690 (first edition case)

Watercooling:
One rad behind, with a cooler of 120mm.
(I have to put another one)
The only thing i have watercooled is the cpu:

Idle: 32
Full load: 36/38

All hoses around the system i don't even want the case closed.



I use Kubuntu but recently formatted, so im on VMware when im not in dual boot.



I have to clean, too much dust.

P.s: Fan of Gyna
