Default What are the build specs of your photography machine?
I will start this out. I was just wondering what other people are using for their main machine that they do their photography work from.

Mine is custom built by me.

Gigabyte HAF case
AMD Phenom II X4 (quad core) I think it is clocked to 3.1GHZ
4 Gig 1066 ram
6 - 1TB Western digital caviar blacks
Nvida8800GT video card
all in one card reader
2 DVDR drives one lightscribe

Mine is like yours, except I have a 250 gig external backup drive and an online backup service. Hoping to add a desktop to the mix, but not until 2011.
