SLI Rig of the Month





See all October submissions

Full Name: Freddy Kudelka
Game Handle: ThreeJaw
Location: Phoenix, AZ

This is the third SLI rig for this month’s Rig of the Month winner Freddy Kudelka. This rig however is the first one that he’s spent the time to do some genuine modding. His inspiration came from the colors and of course, his love for NVIDIA. Freddy is a self described NVIDIA “Fan Boy” and his response to those who may comment on that: “Yeah…..so what?!” That’s an answer we like Freddy!

Congrats on being this month’s NVIDIA Club SLI Rig of the Month winner!!!

Here is what Freddy had to say in response to our questions

What games are you currently playing and why?
Games currently playing: Fallout 3, because its so damn fun; Far Cry 2 (still); Dead Space; Crysis Warhead (I like games with guns)

What games are you looking forward to and why?
Games I cant wait to play: Batman: Arkham Asylum; Modern Warfare 2; Mass Effect 2; and RAGE

What was the biggest challenge you faced when building your machine and how did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge I had was getting the NVIDIA plaque to look how i envisioned it. It took a little time.

What advice would you give a first time system builder?
The best advice i could give to a 1st time builder is do research on every component you need. Read reviews and forums and make sure you know exactly what you're buying before you buy it. Also, have a plan and a theme before you build and/or mod. Trust me, it pays off.

When do you plan on building your next system and what are your plans for that system?
I don’t have any plans (yet) to build my next rig, but it will definitely be water cooled on every component. It might also have teeth; who knows!
