I don't know, all these gaymen builds seem pretty much the same, so I can't really say I enjoy them a lot.
I'm looking forward to maybe selling off my 4 years old E8400 build with a 9600GT and such one day.
With the stuff I do (mostly media and office/internet), I don't have any need for powerful hardware.
So here I am, waiting for the next Atom line from Intel.
>Intel will release their next-generation "Cedar Trail" platform based on 32nm process technology in the second half of 2011[47]. Intel states that it "will feature improvements in graphics capabilities including Blu-ray 2.0 support, a dedicated media engine for full 1080p playback and additional digital display options including HDMI output and DisplayPort. New features will include Intel® Wireless Music, Intel® Wireless Display, PC Synch and Fast Boot. In addition, the enhancements made in power consumption and TDP will enable fanless designs with longer battery life."
8GB RAM, an SSD to boot from, and an HDD for storage all fit in a Lian-li Q11.
A passively cooled graphics card to run my two monitors, and then use the HDMI for a TV.
A little NAS for file backup would be needed as well.
I think the most hardware intensive stuff I do is Photoshopping some images every now and then, but I believe a computer like what I described should be able to handle that.
