I built my desktop purely for gaming a few years ago.

I use it the most often but I also have a mini Toshiba Notebook, which comes in handy for travelling!

Upgraded my system with 1TB HD ... and from duo to triple screen. Oh yeah and bought a Compaq Presario All-in-one. Next gadget will be the Apple iPad2.

I built my computer. It's nothing special:

Phenom X3 2.3ghz
EG GeForce 6100PM-M2
ATI Radeon 4650HD 1GB
2GB RAM

Does everything I need it to do and more! Even plays most of the newer games with medium-high settings. (Without AA, though.)

I have a rebuilt Desktop PC that my son put together from left over parts, and a MacBook OS-X.

I use my mac on-line with the hope of not getting a virus, since they have been less targeted. I did download an antivirus program just in case though. Now I use my PC for everything but the internet.

I like PC gaming, but since it is too expensive to keep upgrading my PC, and the old games cannot be used on new PCs, I've decided to look farther into either a PS3 or XBox. I believe this would be much more affordable.

Truth be told, its not too necessary to have the "machine of death" in order to play PC games. If you initially spend a few bucks and build a good rig by making it "future proof", you can comfortably use your PC and play PC games for 3-5 years, only really having to worry about your graphics card.

My machine comfortable runs (at least 30FPS) Metro 2033, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at medium to medium-high settings.

However, that is one added bonus about consoles... buy it, and you can play any game on the market.

Bought and been using ASUS K43SV Laptop for more than two weeks now and I must say it's phenomenal, though it could certainly use a memory upgrade since it can't keep up with the built in video card installed. Running W7 with the same memory is quite a pain too!

I have a computer, assembled their own hands.
Intel Q6600
GIGABYTE P35C-DS3R
Video: ASUS Geforce 460GTX
2 sound card: Creative Audigy 4 and RME Hammerfall DSP 9632
2x2Tb HDD and 1x250gb on OS
8Gb RAM Win7 x64.

I run both a desktop and a Laptop. Both are Gateway's and i swear by them as one of the most reliable inexpensive computers you can buy today. I totally recommend the gateway brand to anyone looking to get a quality computer and still not have to blow the bank to do it.
