SLI Rig of the Month
Full Name: Andre Flanary
Country: USA (Tennessee)
Handle: ElDuderino
What kind of man builds a pink PC? The kind of man who went WAY over budget on his SLI PC project and wants to save his marriage! That was the price Andre had to pay to keep himself in the good graces of his wife.

At first reluctant, his mind changed soon after he applied the Barbie Pink powder coat finish and realized that the unique color sure made his PC stand out among others. Now proud in pink, Andre can sit back and show off his SLI Rig in confidence, as he posts near 15,000 3DMark05 scores on a regular basis.

Congratulations Andre, and enjoy your 30 days of fame (and a healthier marriage!), here on NVIDIA's "Rig of the Month!"
