Default Custom PCs

Anyone here do any type of custom PC builds? Gaming, workstations, anything?
I've been interested in them for a while, and after landing a job working for a high-end custom PC company, I finally got around to building my own.

Her name is Bozi.
I use her for gaming, Android development, film editing, photo editing, and digital design.

Case: LX Black from Velocity Micro
Mobo: Asus P8Z68-V/Gen3
CPU: Intel i5-3570K @ 4.8GHz
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
RAM: G.Skill RipJaw X Series 2x4GB 1600MHz
Disk 1: Intel 320 Series 80GB SSD
Disk 2: Western Digital 2TB
Optical 1: LG BluRay Burner
Optical 2: Samsung DVD Burner
Video: Integrated
PSU: Antex "High Current Pro" 750W Modular
Case Cooling: Dual 120mm Scythe Fans (1 Intake; 1 Exhaust); Dual Corsair SP120 Fans (2 Intake)





I cleaned up that wiring after installing my i5-3570K and the Freezer 13 cooler.






Anyone else do anything like this? Post them up.

I've got a fairly old build, coming up on four years old. It was a fairly cheap build. Initially it costed under $500, but I skimped out on the cooling so that added probably another $60 in fans, heatsinks, and fan speed controls. Considering its age, I'm considering building a new computer in the future, but this'll do for now.

Case: Gigabyte somethingsomething
CPU: AMD 6000+ Dual Core 3.0GHz
Mobo: ECS A780GM-A Ultra
RAM: OCZ DDR2 800
GPU: nVidia 9800GT 512MB
PSU: 430W Thermaltake
HDD: 320GB
Optical Drive: DVD/CD burner
Fans: 120mm Gelid in the front, 120mm case fan in the back, 80mm Gelid side fan, 120mm Xigmatek attached to the GPU heatsink.




looks dusty... I should clean it soon...

How are you finding the graphics performance while doing video and photo-manipulation on an integrated video card?
