Full Name: Wolfram Knipp Gaming Handle: Entrope Country: Singapore
This system was built with every aspect of multimedia in mind. In addition to the Dual GeForce 7950 GX2's, the 24" Dell Widescreen monitor, and the Creative Labs X-FI XM sound card, everything is hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-D812 Amplifier with ELAC 5.1 Surround Sound speakers. This system will rattle the windows of the neighbor's house...two blocks away.
A system this powerful needs to stay protected at all times, and Wolfram has that covered also. He is a Network Specialist and also uses this machine for a test environment. He keeps it clean by running everything through the WatchGuard Firebox X Core 500 Firewall, connected to a 16 port Gigabit Managed Switch, that in turn is plugged into a WRT54GS Wireless Router which is connected to the Motorola SBV5120 Voice-Enabled Cable Modem. To round it all off he uses a Dell PowerEdge SC1420 as a Management Server.
