This is my current computer. As you can see I built it all from scratch. I took it all apart and upgraded what I previously built.
Post your build or stock comp.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I have my comp hooked to my 50" Plasma, I gotta show RTS of course

P.S. I do have a cordless keyboard and mouse so I am able to play on the plasma.
