So what is everyone using for their machines?

I just sold my older secondary computer, the cash will be going towards a new Nvidia card (not sure maybe a 560) currently using an ATI 5870 (terrible drivers)

Intel Q9650 @ 3.6Ghz
OCZ 4GB 1066Mhz DDR2
ASUS P5E motherboard
WD black 1TB 7200RPM (/Home)
OCZ 120GB SATA 3 SDD (/swap & root)
ATI/AMD Sapphire Radeon 5870 eyefinity 6 2GB

Currently using Ubuntu 11.04. At first I wasn't sure about Unity but its space saving nature has grown on me and improved how I work with programs.
Plus it's pretty

Amd/ati drivers are getting better. nvidia has not really improved much in awhile...

Anyway, here is my pc:
-AMD phenom 1090t have (not over clocked as of yet)
-Corsair 6gb ddr3
-Gigabyte 890gpa-ud3h motherboard
-WD black 1tb 7200rpm (everything, in separate partitions)
-Nvidia Msi gtx460 1gb oc edition
-Corsair AX750 psu (you can't forget your power supply. It is important.)

As far as operating systems go, I have Debian 64bit with KDE/plasma instead of the default Gnome. Also, unity is pretty! but not very customizable...
I do have windows 7 installed, but never boot into it.

I've got:
Phenom 2, 555 black edition (dual core)
4gb ram
Radeon HD5770.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 11:04, but I installed the Gnome3 PPA the other day. So far, I have to say that I'm liking Gnome Shell a lot more than Unity.

Acer Aspire 55526 Notebook

15.6" HD LCD Display
AMD Phenom II X4 N950 4x 2.10 GHZ (quard core)
4 gb ram (ddr 3)
750 GB HDD
Radeon Mobility HD 5650 (with Catalyst 11.6)
Realtek ALC272X Sound Card
Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (with ath9k driver)

Currently using Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 2.

Still deving with a 4870. A new 6970 though would be nice. Imagine what cool graphics you would get out of my engine with that card when it can do already good with a 4870 .
