April 2010 Because Now Your Friends Computer Sucks
Okay, this computer kit for April isn't an April fools joke. This system has one purpose in mind. Eating graphics and steak. These parts are all rock solid, and with the solid state hard drive as an information backer, it's really going to blow your mind when you power this thing up for the first time.If you don't intend on gaming, you can simply swap out the video card for something less expensive. If you're on a tight budget, sorry to say, this isn't the machine for you. At the time of this writing this kit came to a total of $1711. Make sure you take advantage of the rebates available if you decide to build this computer.
TIP! Remember to turn off the pagefile on your solid state drive so it lasts longer. You can use the secondary drive for a pagefile and Windows Readyboost if you really want to get the most speed available.
