As of last week my desktop decided to finally go out, after three years, several trips around the country, and being dropped so many times, my desktop finally gave out. The motherboard decided to short and destroy the ram with it, no idea if the CPU is still good, but the system is pretty shot. Which is fine because I was planning on a new build after all this time anyway, but it's time had finally come. So I took out the good parts, the high end graphics card, the power supply (which thankfully was fine) and the 1 TB Western Digital Caviar drive and re-purposed them. So it's new temporary replacement is in place till I can do a full build again, but for now this little Alienware alpha console will do the job just fine. It's actually a mean little machine for something so tiny.
