Yes, HH has gotten a new gaming rig and this one rocks hard! Funny, I built my last one two months ago and now it is obsolete. This is some kinda sickness I tell you!
Anyway...prepare to drool!
My old system: P4 3.4Ghz HT Extreme, 2GB PC 4200, Nvidia 6800 GT 256Mb. Any wanna buy it?
My ass-kicking new system: NVidia nForce SLI X16 Motherboard, Dual Core Pentium 840 Extreme Edition, Liquid Cooling system, 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 1TB (500GB x 2) Serial ATA-II 3Gb 7,200 RPM w/32MB Cache, NVIDIA 7800 GTX 512MB DDR3 X 2...yes, that is two flipping cards, and Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro High Definition 7.1 Audio with XRAM Technology. I don't think there are games out there now that can stress this beast out.
OK, you don't even want to know the price tag for this system...I had a heart attack when I saw the flipping invoice! OK, I will tell you... $7,100.00! Is that flipping insane or what? Luckily, I did not have to pay for it, as it was a gift from a friend who can afford it! And no...I didn't have to perform any sexual acts for it!
You may now worship me as you see fit!

Holy Mother of God!
That is a damn nice computer HammerHead. 7,100 dollars you say, it can probably be built for maybe 4,000 dollars, but who cares, you ain't paying!
Also, when are you ever going to use 1 terabyte@!?!?!
Still, you will probably always be the first one on each level, and prolly capped half the flags before half the people even load up!
Edit- If you don't want to answer, or are not at liberty to, then don't answer, but what kind of friend do you have that buys you a 7,100 dollar computer, and where can I find one just like him?

I think I told this story before, but here is the deal...
My buddy John and I are the same age and went to High School together. Although it may be hard to believe, I was the loud-mouth jokester with a bunch of friends and he was this geeky, social-retarded nerd. Classic story.
Anyway, one day I see John getting his books slapped down by four bullies. I had no particular interest in John, hell, I didn't even know him, but if defending him got me some fighting time (yeah, I was a wild SOB) and maybe a black eye to impress the girls, I was all for it.
So, I told these guys to come pick on someone their own size, which was pretty funny, because I was like 5'2" at the time. They came, I landed some licks with a history book and it was on like Donkey Kong. Only luck save my ass that day, as my one year younger brother came around the corner with some of our friends and we took care of business.
So, I took this guy under my wing and watched out for him. John was the brains, I had the connections and I layed fist to anyone who screwed with him. I lost about 25% of my fights, but that means I won 75%. John continued to hang out with my crowd (even though they did not like it at first), I got him invited to parties, got him his first beer, and even hooked him up with a girl so he could lose the big "V".
Just a side note here. I went from 5'4", 135 lbs (end of junior year) to 5"11" 180lbs by the start of my senior year. Oh yeah, HH was kicking ass then. But...I digress.
John and I stayed in touch ever since. He went on to get a Phd in Computer Science from MIT and I went on to be Federal Agent for the Department of the Army. He gained like 300lbs and was really a computer nerd...like the guy in Jurassic Park, Nueman from Seinfeld.
When I was back on the East Coast, he lived in D.C., I saw him regularly and he was a mess. He owned his own company, did contract computer work (which I really can't talk about) for all sorts of initialed Government Agencies and was bringing in high six figures a year. However, he was fat, had no love-life and was getting sick due to his poor health. I personally put my size 10 boot up his ass, we had a $22,000 gym built in his house and we hired him a gorgeous, I mean knock-dead gorgeous personal trainer.
Well, the end result is this guy is now 6' and 185 pounds and in awesome shape. He makes over 1 Mil a year with his company and is engaged to the Sally, his personal trainer. The world is his oyster, as the saying goes.
John, being the good guy he is, never forgot the guy who made his high school years worth remembering, so he just gets a wild hair and does outrageous things for me. For instance, one Thursday, he calls me and says, "Hey! Pack a quick bag and get to the airport, I have 1st class tickets to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We are going Marlin fishing this weekend." He pays for everything and we always have a blast.
So, long story short, the computer was my Christmas present. What a friend, huh? I guess getting your kidneys punched in as a kid yields results later in life. LMAO!
Amyway, remember this lesson, be kind to everyone and who knows, maybe they will repay for the rest of your life.
- HH
