You going to use it for gaming I assume?

Work, music recording, and a little gaming. I am a computer programmer and with this setup I'll be able to work from home instead of having to call in sick, or if roads are bad in the winter.. and I can work on projects on weekends when I have nothing else to do haha.

Then I also like do my own little home recording with my music so having a little extra computing power is nice.

I originally wanted to be able to play any game I wanted with out worrying about fps lag haha but I got a real job and don't play games quite as often anymore

Looks awesome, your cable management is way better than mine! Where is the PSU hiding?
Click to expand...

Up until recently I worked for Velocity Micro, so my cable management had to be as clean as possible. :P My personal machine could be better, but I didn't have zip ties at the time and I'll too lazy to do it now lol.

The PSU is at the top back.
 
The only computer classes I took were programming because I went for the wrong major, but stayed with it haha. I wanted to go for the major with the classes about building pcs and all that but my high school counselor signed me up for programming instead.. haha but I enjoy what I do
 
I'm only taking a few computer classes right now, none of them are hardware. Networking and web design.

However, I am about to get a job with a local PC builder, so it's pretty obvious what it is that I want to do lol

I've also taken a few programming classes, but haven't done anything more than basic C++ and Java.
 
Since my dual core died last year or two ago, I just grabbed this little puppy to hold me over. A HP AMD64 business class machine. I dual boot Mageia 2 and Salix Linux.

Now that I have an android phone & Tablet, I haven't been too interested in a PC much. I do have an AAO netbook and Mini Mac also.

Your workplace must love Apple products :p

They're working on developing the Mac program, I'm part of the leading edge group.

iOS has been in our environment for a while, I have to provide support for it so they issued me the iPad so I could be familiar with it.
