I built my current desktop computer back in January of 2008, and you know that for us geeks, any system over three years old is obsolete. Though this PC might be an exception; it's been the best one I've ever built... Of course, it could just seem that way because before I built it, I used an incredibly crappy Compaq ( Read more... )
