Nice Keyboard/mouse ! You seem to be a hardcore gamer... My mouse is a razer deathadder
I have a new machine too - bits and pieces put together but considering the budget cost it's pretty good, with 13,700 3DMark06 marks.
CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz OC'd to 3.63GHz (£48) RAM - 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 OC'd to 1333MHz (£32) GPU - AMD 4870 1GB with Akasa Vortexx Neo cooler (£74, second hand) Case - Antec 300 with 2x Be Quiet! Silent Wings 120mm fans, 1x Zalman ZM-81 120mm side panel fan (£49 for case, £32 for fans) Mobo - MSi 770-C45, overvolted (£46) SSD - Corsair P64 SSD, TRIM support enabled (birthday present from housemates, they paid ~£160) HDD - Seagate 7200.11 750GB (I won this in a TF2 competition at one of my uni's LAN events, but worth about £42) PSU - Corsair CX400W (£39) Monitor - AG Neovo 19" (is my housemate's monitor as he has a 32" Samsung LCD TV which he uses, so I'm just borrowing it) Other - Dell DJ422 keyboard (£16), MS Basic Optical Mouse (£6), Steelseries medium mousepad (won this in a CS:S uni LAN tourney), Windows 7 Enterprise x64 (90 day TechNet trial, so I just reinstall and reactivate when it expires, so also free)
Total cost to me ~£342 (€390)

Nick - didn't your mother tell you never to voltmod your mobo ? Nah seriously, that build looks very good - may one ask how much it cost you in the end?
XD she did but I couldn't resist!! It gave me another 150MHz on my CPU so I think it was worth it I'll update my last post with prices I paid (I'll give it in £GBP).
This was originally our fileserver for our uni house (no GPU, overclocks or SSD originally!), and we had about 8TB of HDDs attached. However, we filled them all so my 2 housemates bought most of the disks off me when I bought their shares of the system, and I upgraded and rebuilt it to be a gaming PC... so now we just transfer with FileZilla over our gigabit network
Your university does seem to be quite advanced, infrastructure-wise! You bought 8TB's of SSD-drives? You're kidding me, right? That must literally have cost you a fortune!
I'm considering putting an SSD in our server-computer - could you recommend any good sites with reasonable pricing? I can probably arrange shipping to Sweden even though the shop won't - so don't worry about that.
Yeah, it is pretty good and no no, 8TB of just normal hard drives, not SSDs! plus we all shared out the cost so it wasn't too bad.
An SSD does make a massive difference though for an OS - boot time on the SSD is about 20 seconds compared to 55+ on my hard drive with a cloned installation of Windows, and everything is so much faster and snappier, so it is a very good upgrade if you can get one.
I use http://www.scan.co.uk/ as my main site to buy PC hardware from, although http://www.aria.co.uk/ are also pretty damn good. If you do plan to put Server 2008 R2 on though, make sure you buy an SSD with TRIM support as it prevents performance degradation!!
