Well, in all reality, it's brand loyalty really. They both do very well and handle anything I throw their way. I kinda play with the AMD machine more I guess and it's cheaper so, the AMD is probably more along the lines of performance/budget.

I use the same power supply in both machines.

I have three Chieftec Dragon cases left and I will continue to use the ones i've got.

I also have one of these which I really like and will probably use from now on though.

As far as drives go, I normally use Western Digital Raptor for programs and performance. Then I use Seagates for storage.

I use Lite-On DVD burners in both machines.

and I use Lite-On DVD ROMs for movies while playing games or working.

Here's a pic of my AMD machine setup.
