SLI Rig of the Month
Full Name: Angelo Petropoulos
Gaming Handle: FM_Fixxxer
Location: Canada , Ontario , Windsor

Bold, Clean, Industrial. These are all words that can be used to describe Angelo's Rig. Flat black paint forces your attention to the two cold blue cathodes emitting an otherworldly glow. The custom cut Diamond plate looks like armor for this beast.

Overclocking is second nature for Angelo. His AMD 64 4800+ processor is OC'd to a sweet 2.65Ghz, and the two NVIDIA GeForce 7900GTX's are pushing 680Mhz. The top of his case has been modded to fit a 120mm exhaust instead of the stock 80mm. Three 120mm Panaflo's rated at 115cfm each, all plugged into a Vantec fan and light controller round out the rest of the cooling system.

To show off all the games he has on his desktop, Angelo has one of the best gaming LCD's money can buy. The Viewsonic VX924 LCD with an amazing 3ms response time. There is no ghosting, unless it's Angelo playing Battlefield 2 as a sniper. It's almost unfair how far away he can take you out with the graphics processing power this machine has.

Congratulations Angelo, on being this month's Rig of the Month winner.
