Seems kind of expensive to me, but on the other hand, because of the way you have your rig made, the only thing you would need to do at critical points in the computer's life would be software and OS upgrades. I think it would be a pretty good setup for just about anything!

[Admin]

Wow, that's a really good setup. It's going to cost a fortune though, mine you.

[Colin Comard (Delay)]

Are you paying for this yourself? Because it seems like it'd be better spent for, say, college or something.
