Buyer to pay $100.00 flat fee for shipping (includes insurance). If the buyer wishes to ship overnight, and pay the difference, I don't have a problem. If the shipping is less I will refund the difference via paypal. If the buyer has a shipping account and would like to use that, no problem.

It's good for gaming, good as a storage server, good for video and audio editing...the possibilities are endless!

Despite it's beastiness, you will find that this system is not unique. I have a system similar to this configuration, as do many of my friends. It just allows you to do so much more!

[Kowalski]

do you need all these posibilities?

do you need all these posibilities?

Funnily enough...the answer is "yes". I do exactly all that on my desktop. :D

think about this: all the hardware you have, i mean top notch hardware, you have to update the drivers more frequently and the you have to spend much more time than i do just to keep your computer running
thats why i am using just a standart computer
