Geek porn warning: Post your rig

OpenBSD 5.3-amd64 on a fully softraid(4) encrypted hard disk (OpenBSD now natively boots from encrypted volumes: suck it, Linux). Intel core i5. 8GB RAM, 750GB SATA HD. Intel HD Graphics 3000.

Desktop stack is xorg 1.12.3, Mesa 7.11, xcompmgr, and GNUStep Windowmaker.

Best rig I've had to date.
