Rather impressive especially for those that run bloated slow programs. ;) And here I was thinking he should take cover while booting it. :lol:

That is impressive. I wish I had some money just to put a modest extra build together, let alone a beast like that :(

That makes me feel a lot better... Especially when budget cuts keep coming where I work.

I'm gonna assume SSD means Solid State Drive. But it'd be better if it meant Super Secret Dipthongs. But that's just me.

And from what I've heard the tea parties were successful, non-violent and fun to be at (the ones where it didn't rain anyway). But I like coffee. :)

When people brag about having several terabytes in their pooter I wonder what part of Earths' climate and geology they wish to control. The amount of info you could hold on such a pooter would be incredibly immense. I know, it's DVD rippers who want parkinglot sized drives, not to enjoy DVDs but simply because they're addicted to the menial task of recording every video in existance. It's a Zen thing.
