To think.. it all started with this. A comp i bought, and way overpaid for. But i was dumb and didnt do my homework. Frankly, didnt know enough about comps to have bought one myself. but anyway.. this is how it goes.
Then.. i got bored one night, just ripped it apart and painted it black. it sat for a long while like that and i was far from ever happy with it.
so.. another bored night, grabbed the grinder. I dont mean dremel, im talking good ol 4 inch dewalt grinder to cut the window out.
That grew into this. But then i decided why not just upgrade everything. So....

And last but not least, my newest addition. My LCD. 19 inch widescreen from viewsonic with 8ms. pretty slick monitor. gotta love sales.
Only problem is now, is keeping it cool inside. ive got 5 ciruclation fans alone, not to mention 7 fans inside keeping components cool. Idle temps about 27C
