It's a rainy stormy day here in the south. I thought I would just gather up all my toys and get a photo of them all surrounding me. Makes me smile

So, what toys do you have on site?

My brother says if you want to experience what owning a sailboat is like, dress up in foul weather gear, get in the shower and turn it on full blast and while all this is going on start flushing one hundred dollar bills down the toilet as fast as you can.

Whats running through the copper lines? Liquid Nitrogen? Freon?

Just work on? Or own?

I sold the processor to a buddy when I was done overclocking/overvolting to try and take it up over 6 ghz on liquid nitrogen and he hit 6.2 ghz... Not bad for a 3.1 ghz processor...
