| 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. The picture above is my "old school" workstation back in the day. |

Here are the guts of the current "Mo-Fo". This is the fastest rig I've ever built and my first dual GPU. | The blue LED's illuminate the interior of the case. The Obsidian 800D has a wireless/screwless design. |

The MO-FO is the butt kicker. With 6 Gigs of high speed RAM, dual GPU via Crossfire, and two 10,000 rpm Raptors this sucker renders images faster than shit through agoose. 3D Mark 06 scores 22,000, oh yea baby! | The Lil' Fo is the back up system but it's still a decentrig. It runs XP but it still can hit 14,000 on 3D Mark 06.It comes in handy if the main system takes a shit on me.This rig marks my very last XP build, hello 64 bit! |
