My house.
Processor AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Brisbane @ 2.8GHz (224x12.5, 1.425V)
Motherboard Gigabyte sumthin-or-another, it's got an nForce 430
Cooling Dual 120mm case fans front/rear, Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro, Zalman VF-900 on GPU
Memory 2GB G.Skill DDR2 800
Video Card(s) Sapphire X850XT @ 580/600
Storage WD 160 GB SATA hard drive.
Display(s) Hanns G 19" widescreen, 5ms response time, 1440x900
Case Thermaltake Soprano (black with side window).
Audio Device(s) Soundblaster Live! 24 bit (paired with X-530 speakers).
Power Supply ThermalTake 430W TR2
Software XP Home SP2, can't wait for Vista SP1.
While some would say that the whole "4 or more GPU" thing happened several months ago, it wasn't exactly a very clean quad-SLI solution. You could only stick one monitor on it, and good luck if you had a widescreen. Even then, there were features missing, the drivers were buggy, support was sketchy, and there were a lot of rendering problems/crashes. So, SLI 2.0 (after getting a much more marketing-friendly name) will be able to support something it's first version didn't see- three or more GPU's in a single system with no features disabled. Whether or not SLI 2.0 would be able to use one of those cards for physics is yet to be seen.
