the beast is for sale

Description

Purpose-built, dual-boot 64 / 32 bit Desktop System.
This system was initially built for photographic and video editing but is more than well suited to gaming or any other application. Nicknamed ‘The Beast’ it is housed in a black aluminium / steel Thermaltake Armor Case http://support.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1433&ID=1404 . It is heavy and not easily transportable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I built this system while I was in South Korea. The power plugs are either Korean Pugs or American plugs. Since returing to NZ it has been powered using Korjo adapters bought at Dick Smith Electroncis. Everything works fine.
