    It could be based on performance (good sound/high res/large storage), how much you've spent, the sentimental value, how much you saved on sale, how eco friendly it is, the design, or some other reason (tell us).


    For me, its my soundacard, an external one by creative, that outputs optical to my home theater system.

    My memory card reader.  It reads 17 different kinds of memory cards and works really well.

    I love my case as it has allowed me to do some pretty serious OC'ing with just air cooling.  It's an Antec 900.  Loud as hell but I'm so used to the sound i cant sleep w/o it on i find it to be way to quiet with it off.  I get creeped out with how quiet my room is with it off actually.

    I have 3 favorite components, my memory, Corsair dominator and it overclocks like crazy, my motherboard, P5Q deluxe for its stability and lots of overclocking features and my 19" SyncMaster 953BW monitor, I was blown away with how good crysis looked on it when I first got it.

    I voted for Hard Drive/RAM  btw

    Monitor, because I feel like a 19" monitor is just, awesome. Then again, I was using like a 14" monitor for 3-4 years, so that might be why. I have a pretty good computer, though.

    Not technically part of my computer but I am very proud of my Dreamcast VGA box.

    Seriously. Dreamcast VGA > pretty much everything from the last console generation AND the Wii running at HD, save for maybe the Xbox version of The Warriors at 720p.

    Other than that, I'm going to agree with Jakob and say my porn is probably the best part of my PC. My computer sucks, but it can run basically anything I try to play on it. Fallout 3 may look like its running on a PS2 but I don't care, it's still a fun game.

    Oddly enough, since I do have a dual core processor and 2 gigs of ram I can play most Source games with everything enabled and cranked up to the highest settings with no frame rate issues or anything. Half-Life 2 and its assorted spin-offs run extremely well on my compooter.

    The 900 is an amazing case for sure.

    I upgraded to a 1200 this month for a new build and the noise is just as bad (or good - I too find it eeriely quiet without the sound of case fans filling up my room). I'm loving the case though so I'm gonna say thats my favourite part at the moment :)

    My gpu is okay, however my monitor is 22" and it looks quite big sitting up close to it. The resolution is 1680X1050 for all games and imo anything higher wouldn't look too different.

    i have a crappy 18" dell monitor, so what I am proud of right now is my core duo cpu which are both running at 3.16 GHz, and its a 1.5 years old. and my nvidia case is pretty cool looking too. too bad that there are not many computer games to play right now.

    GPU, since it's the only semi-current piece of hardware in my computer.  It's a XFX GeForce 9600GT.


    I kind of dig my monitor too though.  19" LG widescreen, default resolution 1440x900.  Makes games look pretty.
