The Day of TRANSFORMATION is at Hand!!! (...and I did this at night. Go figure)
Yes, it's been 4years in the making. That's way more time than took place between my last upgrade, but who's counting? (other than me)
It took my old rig dying to get me this bad-boy. It was worth every dollar.
It happens 3 times/decade, when I upgrade my PC Gaming Rig to the hottest new gear... Only to be out done 18months later.. hahahahaa!!!

Quad Core 64-bit Gaming at it's best!! Only a few games take advantage of it, but it is so smooth.
I now have a rig with near-flagship parts. Which I've usually stayed away from. I typically get the Tier-2 parts from most companies for the budget. (but not this time)
I've been able to play RAGE & Battlefield 3 on Ultra/Max settings for all the glorious eye-candy!
Yes, it is a true Gaming Shrine to worship & play on. (not that I do much worshiping, but you get it)
