Comments: This is my custom built workstation that I use at work. I wanted to have a work related theme, so I painted it yellow to match the school colors, and I hope to get a custom version of the school mascot onto the case window as well. I also wanted at least a dual processor machine for work, for better multi-tasking. Since these Xeons are hyper-thread capable, I have four virtual processors working for me. This system booted up as soon as I got all the parts together, so I was happy with that. It's pretty stable, so I am actually using it at work. This machine is really fast. One of the weird/cool things about it, is that the motherboard has some vocal messages at boot up, even if there is not any errors, it will state, "Now booting the operating system". I can even record my own messages if I wanted to!
