SLI Rig of the Month
Full Name: Jamie Steven
Country: Seattle, WA
Handle:BA Baracus

We don’t know whether to call him “Mr. T” or just “B.A.” but Jamie put together one heck of a machine, as you’ll see by his system specs. Jamie spared no expense and consumed copious amounts of coffee while staying up all night building this smokin’ fast rig.

It seems Jamie likes things in pairs….starting with his two GeForce 7800 GTX graphics cards from BFG…and his dual core AMD CPU…his pair of 1GB DDR-400 RAM modules….down to his two Hitachi SATA hard drives! It’s hard to find any room to upgrade this PC, except for the fact that he only has one monitor!

We pity da fools who tried to challenge Jamie’s PC for our SLI Rig of the Month!
