My computer was a custom build from CyberWorks. It cost around $2,000 for all of the hardware above + a 5.1 dolby digital stereo (two side speakers, two rear speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer.)
My computer is used almost exclusively for watching YouTube, Blu-Ray's and Video Games.
All of my Thumb/Flash drives except one show a brand name when viewing in Windows Explorer or File Explorer. The one that doesn't is a Crucial drive. I've been wanting an icon for that one but haven't had any luck in finding out how the Verbatim and SanDisk do it yet. I can change the Label, give them a name, without problem.

Hi,

Using an Autorun.inf file, it's easy. We have a tutorial about changing drive icons here.
