When you need a new PC...

Rson (Rich) is the guy to get it done for you. He built this "monster" for me, and it's the best machine I've ever owned in every respect. I actually had intended to pick up a Mac Pro, but the budget just wasn't there for what I wanted. Rich made it happen with this power house.

He certainly offers a lot of helpful info on here too.

True, but some know how to build machines better than others, so John's satisfaction is good to know about. : )

Thanks for posting this. I had to get to bed so didn't have time to type it.

That is quite the monster. Definitely would love to work with that machine.
