I purchased a custom PC from www.CyberPowerPC.com but honestly I could have saved a bunch of money by buying the components and installing everything myself. Oh well, maybe next time.
Case: Raidmax Smilodon (5 Case fans)
Mobo: Asus P5N32-E SLI 680i
PSU: Xion Supernova 600W
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E6850 @ 3.0Ghz (It just doesn't need to be overclocked!)
Ram: 4GB Adata PC6400 800Mhz DDR2 (5-5-5-15)
GPU: Nvidia 8800GTS SuperOverclocked 640MB GDDR3
HDD: 160GB (Programs drive), 250GB (Games drive)
Disk Drives: Dual Sony Optiarc CD/DVD combo drives
Mouse: Creative Fatal1ty Professional Laser 2400dpi (going to be replaced tomorrow if UPS shows up)
Logitech G5 (time tested and proven to be a solid laser mouse)
Keyboard: Logitech G15 (the old one)
Sound System: Logitech Z-2300 THX certified (nice bass!)
Headset: Logitech Gaming headset (I don't know the model and I hate using a headset. I like my sub stereo. I like to feel the explosions. It's got to be loud!)
OS: Microsoft Vista Home Premium 64-bit
This setup is by no means top of the line but I have to say that I can run Crysis on Very High Spec @16-24fps. It isn't the best framerate range but it is playable!
Honestly, if I had the money I would love to get a custom setup from www.digitalstormonline.com! Their custom cases and liquid cooling systems are sweet! (but expensive)

You know what you could do is just get a 47" widescreen LCD. Get one of the newer video cards with HDMI outputs on them, then get a laz'y'boy recliner and you'd be set!

A DVI to HDMI cable is only like $15-20 lol, but a huge widescreen TV is not really practical for non-gaming use...
A 30" LCD can be had new from dell for something like $1200 USD now, if you have a dual-link DVI output they are amazing to work on (and play games, specially at 2560x1600 o.o)
