My New Rig
Well, after 18 months of waiting... my inheritance is paying out, so I am putting myself together a new rig. Time to get rid of this clunky old thing (which was supposed to do 6 months... and has lasted 3 years with a couple of upgrades)

Oh, and before anyone says I forgot an SSD That's deliberate, IMO I can't justify paying that much for so little storage space.
