Mine is currently:

Wah - Dunlop JC95
Comp - Wampler Ego Compressor
O/D - an original TS808
Distortion - The Elements - Dr Scientist
Delay - Strymon timeline
Univibe - MXR
Reverb - Strymon Big Sky
Looper - Ditto X2
Nice rig. Strymon make some awesome pedals, real pro stuff. bit digital for me so I went for the Wampler verb pedal but its only got one sound.
I really need to get a Wah in my rig, looking at an Area 51 when I get round to it and a Volume pedal on the other side.

Mine is
AnalogMan Sunbender (Tonebender Fuzz)
Dunlop mini fuzz face (Silicon)
Sonic research turbo tuner (strobesk)
Tim (Mild OD with option to boost)
GMD Luther drive (a booteek mod of a Maxon tubescreamer)
Analogman Bicomp (2 comps a Juice & Ross)
MXR carbon copy (Analog delay)
Boss HF2 (80s flanger sadly no longer in production)
Wampler Faux spring Reverb (good spring sound but thats it)
ISP Decimator (Cleans up any extra noise)

Currently running
Guitar
Line 6 relay (thanks for the info Tom)
EHX organ machine (sometimes)
Digitech Whammy
Dunlop Cry baby that I've modded to give it a wider sweep and a bit of a boost
Boss SD-1 (that I've had since I was 14!).
Mooer Ninety orange phaser
Mooer Trelicopter tremolo
Amp
Effects loop
Mooer Reecho delay
TC spark boost
TC ditto loop
Effects back

The board is... a board. A bit of plywood with a load of holes drilled in it, I use cable ties to mount the pedals. I have a 6 way 9v psu from maplin that does most of the pedals apart from the whammy, b9 and the wireless which all have their own power (I might get another maplin unit).

It used to look like this

I'm currently looking at a keely mod for the sd-1, and a better delay..
