    There's going to be A LOT of pictures, so please bare with this post.

    Anyway, I love computers. I've been building, modding, and overclocking computers since 2001. I've been into them since 1995. Altogether, I've built around 40 or more computers.

    I decided to show off the two Rigs I currently own, and are the two most recent ones I've built.

    Anyway, that's all, guys. I just wanted to share those with you, 'cause I'm very proud of my PCs. Also, just showing you all a little "proof" that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to computers and that I'm here to help. :)

    Take care and thanks for viewing!

    Haha. No thanks. I'm not much of a fan for dual or tri-monitors. Reason being is it feeds off a lot of your resources and is awful for gaming (If you plan on using one monitor to game, and the other monitor to do something else). Don't get me wrong, if you use both or three monitors for gaming, that's pretty epic (but it gives me a headache and a lot of games that require you to look at minimaps in a fast paced environment, just doesn't cut it. The few slight seconds that your eyes move to look at your minimap, may be your last). I prefer single monitor usage, so both of my rigs have their own monitors. They're set-up pretty close to each other, so whenever I'm in BIOS or if I'm gaming, and I want to look something up, I either minimize game, or I go on the other computer to look stuff up.

    Also, thanks a lot, guys, for the compliments. :)

    That's what she said.

    Anyway, great builds. Could you post the total prices for everybody?

    Also, your wife isn't playing like Neopets on that thing, right? Because kids are starving in China Japan.

    Haha!

    No. She's been playing Borderlands, Mafia II, Runes of Magic, WarHammer Online, and Portal. I'm trying to get her into Team Fortress 2 (She refuses to play StarCraft 2, sadly).

    My Rig (Lord Megatron) was $2,200 USD, while my wife's Rig was $1,050 USD. My wife's Rig was a lot cheaper, because she went AMD and got a Mid-Tower case; Where-as, I went Full-Tower and I went with Intel. Also, another factor, was that most of the parts I bought for her were on Newegg during their Black Friday sale last year.
