This build is sponsored by Nvidia, Danger Den, Smooth Creations, Performance PCs, and Crucial, and Silverstone.

The purpose is to showcase Nvidia's Hybrid SLI technology. I am not sure what the final project name will be yet. The project will premier at PDXLAN 12 in July and will also be presented at Nvision along with several of my other projects which feature Nvidia technology.

First step: Aquire an awesome globe . . .thanks to Spherical Concepts . . .they gave me a really sweet deal!
Here is a shot from their warehouse
