I wanted to post some performance tests of the new rig here for your enjoyment :)
I thought I would start with the system OS load.
11:15 Booted to USB with Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit on it
11:16 Clicked Install Now
11:18 Reboot
11:21 Logging into Microsoft account
11:25 Desktop
Total Load Time: 10 Minutes!!!!
Woot!
More to come later...
Well... it is build day (Horray!!!)
So it has begun....
It has been several years since I built a gaming PC and it is definitely long overdue for another one.
I will be posting the parts and overall progress of the build along with pictures. I hope you enjoy it.

So, Brent came to me and asked if I would design a logo for the Battlefield 3 Platoon on Battlelog. So here it is. What do you think?
Hey everyone, be sure to come rock in the new year with us at 2013 New Year's Eve Celebration at Aqua Italian Restaurant. It is going to be an amazing evening with 3 DJs performing a true New York City style party. I am playing from 1:30-3:00am but make sure you show up early to check out all of the DJs. Things should be getting underway around 9:00pm.
Horray!!!
This morning when I arrived at my office there was nice little surprise on my desk from fellow gamer Jayson Pflumm. This has to be better than what I was using before, stock mice suck for gaming, let me just be clear on that. I will give this one a good once over and put it to the test and we will see. If all goes well I think I will take Jayson's offer to buy the mouse from him. Stay tuned for my report :) In the meantime here is a review of the mouse by another site.

Happy Gaming!
