I'm just curious what kind of processor people are running for their 'active' or 'main' computer?

I got sick of trying to use my wife's laptop as a desktop earlier this year, so I picked up a cheap Pentium D930-based bare-bones box and tossed a hard drive in. Great bang for the buck - makes tinkering in Photoshop and Premiere Elements a little more fun. It also helps keep this little room warm Razz.

Lots of overclocking I see. I've been tempted to push my 3GHz chip to 4GHz+ as apparently they do it easily w/stock fan & heatsink.
