http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1245/backgroundyva.jpgTo spare the bandwidth, I'll just put a link to my desktop. The Monitor is a View Sonic VP235wb S-IPS 23" 1920x1080 HD panel.
I built this for photo editing, with what I could afford.
Boot Drive: Corsair Performance G2 128 GB SSD (Samsung controller)
Secondary storage drives: 2x 150 GB 3.5" Rapters. Non-RAID. One is setup for applications, the other for backup.
Motherboard: EVGA P55 200 Classified. This board has the extra gold in the socket, something like 300% more gold.
Case: Corsair 800D
Case Mod: I made a plate to cover the top where a water unit radiator would be if water cooled. I did this to create a positive air flow.
PSU: (I know, its overkill) 1kw Corsair Modular Unit.
RAM: 2x 4GB G.Skill Ripjaw (8GB total)
Optical Drive: Plextor Blu-ray
CPU: Intel i5
CPU Cooler: Noctua P55 Aluminum Push Pull
GPU: Nvidia Quadro FX 1800
OS: Win 7 Professional (with TRIM enabled)
That's the basics. With the drives being so fast, programs are virtually instant upon demand. It runs really cool and runs huge photo editing rather nicely. All stock, no OCing needed.
