Since I run a computer company with my buddy building custom systems, we build it. =D

Hmm... I got 3 nineteens... the Logi 4.1s... P4... lots of DDR... 2 HD...

I'm running so much shit on here, I'm going to have to upgrade my case and PSU soon.

Oh yeah, if you guys ever need anything. I'll be more than willing to give anyone a hook up. While I can't always guarantee the lowest, I'll try my best.

Well, I lucked out with my monitors... both are high quality and were.... FREE! ^__^ It helps to have a dad that is lead department tech at the University

I use the dual monitors for 3D animation and video editing, some of my hobbies and passions, and also for making my big dream, my own movie, which is currently codenamed "Freedom One." We've got some major installations and vehicles designed, modelled and textured, but the animation part won't happen for a short while hehehe I'm proud of my babies! (pats his computer and his project)

So funny how nobody mentions their bus speed, even though it's just about the most important element
