    gamers wouldn't go on the rig much i suppose but for what i do it is by far faster than the other options in the same $ range.

    and from what i have seen xp in vmware is quicker in fusion than the pc version, which surprised me.

    had a 2600k on a z68 board up beside it and it does what i need a unit to do much more quickly.

    put a wd black 1tb in as boot drive but the seagate 7200.12 i have as the data drive is quicker in use.

    only got a 9400gtx in it for the moment as i had trouble getting sound and video stable using the bigger cards i had.
