| Everything you see here was hand built by yours truly. Talk about a labor of love. I've been buildingcomputers long before I took up the photographic hobby. Usually I build a new system every two yearsand label it the "Mo-Fo". It's the spanky new rig and the old one becomes the "Lil'-Fo" that shares thedesk with it's new brother. Both are networked together and the workload is divided by performance. |

With a dpi of 4800x2400 and a print size of 13"by 19" my Canon i9900 is one hell of a printer. | With eight ink cartridges this baby can producebeautiful tack sharp prints at high speeds. |
Here's the Lil' Fo. It's a basic Intel 850 board with a P43.06, 1Gb 1066Mhz\ RDRAM, and an ATI 850XT PE. I maintain the website with this system and run Office '03 along with a host of other apps. | The MO-FO is the butt kicker. With 2 Gigs of high speed RAM, dual GPU via Crossfire, and two 10,000 rpm Raptors this sucker renders images faster than shit through agoose. This baby replaced the system pictured above. |
