The first SwinTech Designs...uh...design!

Well, I finally managed to pull it off!  The new gaming rig is built, running, and (I think) pretty dang impressive!  This, I suppose, is officially the first SwinTech Designs gaming PC.  See what you think.

Here's the specs:

Thermaltake LANbox case
ASUS M4A88T-M motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 Ghz quad-core CPU
4 GB G Skill Ripjaws Series DDR3 RAM
Thermaltake EVO Blue 750 watt power supply
Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1 GB video card (given to me for work I did)
Sony Optiarc DVD-RW
Western Digital Velociraptor 10,000 rpm hard drive
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Here's the pics:



God bless, geek on, and buy SwinTech!!!

just something I liked and thought I'd share

     “If I can throw a single ray of light across the darkened pathway of another; if I can aid some soul to clearer sight of life and duty, and thus bless my brother; if I can wipe from any human cheek a tear, I shall not have lived my life in vain while here.
     If I can guide some erring one to truth, inspire within his heart a sense of duty; if I can plant within my soul of rosy youth a sense of right, a love of truth and beauty; if I can teach one man that God and heaven are near, I shall not have lived in vain while here.
     If from my mind I banish doubt and fear, and keep my life attuned to love and kindness; if I can scatter light and hope and cheer, and help remove the curse of mental blindness; if I can make more joy, more hope, less pain, I shall not have lived and loved in vain.
     If by life’s roadside I can plant a tree, beneath whose shade some wearied head may rest, though I may never share its beauty, I shall yet be truly blest – though no one knows my name, nor drops a flower on my grave, I shall not have lived in vain while here.”

Hope this gives some encouragement to try every day to do good for others.  A special "hat's off" to my wonderful wife, Mrs. H, who does just this every day of her life.  I am so proud of you, and lucky just to know you, baby!  I love you so much!

God bless and geek on!
