SLI Rig of the Month
Full Name: Al Compra
Country: Glendale Heights, IL (USA)

Al began building his NVIDIA SLI PC back in November 2005 - he says he was inspired after checking out SLIZONE and seeing the previous "Rig of the Month" winners in all their glory.

Al set to work, starting with an nForce4 SLI motherboard (the backbone of EVERY SLI PC) from Gigabyte, and added tasteful hardware upgrades to add to his dual GeForce 7800 GTX graphics cards from BFG Tech. To cope with all that extra rendering ability, Al added 2 GB of RAM help process all those pixels, as well as a couple of high speed Western Digital hard drives to store all of his...games.

Al keeps everything cool with his Aquastar water cooling system and rounded out his case with a tasteful cathode light treatment. And the custom paint job doesn't hurt either!

Congratulations, Al, and enjoy your reign as the SLI Rig of the Month winner for June!
