Not mine! That was the build that belonged to the guy who worked at the shop in Toronto who sourced all my parts. He was a serious OC hardware enthusiast and really knew what he was doing.
I wouldn't spend that much on a rig; I just don't play PC games enough.
The rig I built was a Q9400 OCed to 3.2ghz, Scythe Ninja Copper HSF, 1x2GB DDR3 1600, HD4870x2, Asus P5Q3 wifi Deluxe, Antec 1000w PSU, in an Antec 900 case which went over the $1500 (CA$) budget.
My personal rig is a scaled down model based on a Q6600 OCed to 3.3ghz (2.88v, 30C idle, 60C 100% load, 24hr Prime 95 stable) with a $27 ACF7P HSF, AS5 TIM, 2x2GB DDR2 1000, Asus P5Q-EM mobo, HD4870, OCZ 600w PSU in a 15x7x16 mini tower enclosure. I could probably build another one like it for about $1000 with current prices.
