I´ll start with mine

There was a discussion months ago about letting players change the FOV in GWs2, I see you solved that like a gentleman.

[Arcadio]

I built my PC in the summer of 2008. It was great for its time, but I haven't upgraded it at all. Still runs GW2 of course, but with the new consoles coming out this year, I am debating whether to not bother much with PC gaming (besides the games I already have), upgrading my PC, or building a new one.

The computer I do everything else on
Some POS I made 6 years ago

[Wigz]

Built my rig over the years.

Case: Antec 1200
PSU: 1000W Raidmax
Proc: Intel i7-980X running @ 4.4Ghz + Corsair H100 watercooling.
Ram: 16GB
Video: Radieon 5570 2Gb Eyefinity.
HDD:
Samsung 830 - 128GB - OS Win7 Pro x64
WD Raptor 10k RPM 300GB - Fraps Drive
oh and... 13 TB's of storage on my network. Don't ask. Mostly JBOD. Working on building a 16 drive NAS machine these days.
Lost a 1 TB drive the other day, a small tear was shed...

Regarding GW2, the only real thing that helps is processor, ram, decent video card, and SSD. Newer, more memory, type video cards will not improve
the game's performance or look. I'd suggest people upgrade to an SSD for their OS + Favorite game(s)(people play something other than GW2?!?!?!?),
and then pump up their CPU/RAM setup.

*One does not simply go outside with this rig.

[Tangnu]

The door has no handle, only a lock. I think it's telling you something... lol!
