I used to feel the same way. Then I spent 5 years with an ugly puke purple beast and decided to go a flashier route this time around! It's also SUPER QUIET. <strong>Ryan:</strong> I <3 it. I had no idea it was going to look as good in person. Hope you are still happy with yours! <strong>Steve from MT.:</strong> I'm sorry I didn't use your (or most of anyone's!) suggestions for this machine. I had to strike a balance between what I needed, what I could get, what my parents trusted (remember how they wanted me to just buy one from a local store?), get the OS and save way too much money to be able to afford the Adobe upgrade package. It's that last one that was the kicker! Ouch. <strong>Bryan:</strong> woo. It's so clean in there. <strong>Obey:</strong> That was technically the name of my last one ;) <strong>nabeel:</strong> it sure is! Boots in no time and opens Photoshop in a second. *swoon* <strong>mlatin the awesomest = win</strong>. I had forgotten to mark the [x2] RAM so that probably confused a lot of people :) <strong>Paul:</strong> yeah, they are mirrored. For now, anyway. Hopefully I will not go through the space too soon and have to separate them. <strong>Troy:</strong> Oh, you! Hopefully no one else will get that ^_^ Prepare a for a long reply to everyone…
