Screen Shots
I can't possibly show all the test screens that you can access - if you printed everything out, there's over 60 pages of test data. However, I can show some that I think could be quite interesting for hardware junkies:
First, you can read-out what's on the system:

No need to go into BIOS or the OS to read out the hardware sensors:

Whatever BIOS collects you can read out. Speaking of BIOS,

this utility allows you to read the BIOS, store it and then transfer the file to another system (assuming it's the same motherboard). If you're building a bunch of the same systems, this allows you to quickly load your BIOS options onto others.
You can also see what going on in the system's ports with "Port Monitor". .

You can even edit this to aid in loading cards to prevent address conflicts.
Want to get a jump on hard drive problems? You can read out S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology) values for hard drives on the system:

If the drive detects possible or imminent failures, it will generate an alert.
I've used UXD's RAM test PCI Card - Quick Tech Pro has the same test routines in software:

It will spot failures down to the location in a specific chip:
