SLI Rig of the Month
Full Name: Derrick Thomas
Country: USA (Bellingham, WA)
Handle: gamestar44

We get the feeling Derrick likes multiples of 2...

First, there's his gaming handle, "gamestar44". Then, there's the fact that he crammed with a Quad core CPU (4 again), 2 Western Digital hard drives, 2 SLI-Ready graphics cards, and 2 Gigs of RAM.

Hailing from just south of the Canadian border in the college town of Bellingham, Washington, Derrick has put together a very solid rig, capable of tackling all of today's games, and pretty much most of tomorrow's - he's definitely ready for the DX10 goodness of Crysis later this year, packing two GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards.

Let's just hope his monitor does his rig justice!

Congrats Derrick, and enjoy your reign on the "Rig of the Month" page this May!
