                Put the guts in a 19" rackmount, mount it on a 19" rack, then get a model "M" keyboard.
                Then put a dedicated Windows Server, and dedicated Slackware Linux box on it too, plug them all into a PS/2 KVM... you might be close then to my computer/reloading room

                  LoL.

                  I have a rack mount Windows server (given to me by a cool CALGUNNER some time ago) that is running Server 2008 that sits on the top of the file cabinets. It is noisy, but currently I shut it off to replace some fans that should be here soon. I have a game system and a master system side by side but they need to get blown out since I am upgrading the master system to a system that will have a tape backup. YAY!

                  My game system is totally cool:
                  AMD Phenom x4 955 black edition + 4 GB of RAM + Nvidia GTX 570... It has played all that I needed to play, until that damn Fallout 4... Then it will not play it at all due to it needed windows 7.

                  Oh yeah, running Windows XP with a single 500GB hard drive that is about 6 years old now and the only issues I get is that CS: GO lags me from time to time. But that is a game issue, not my computer because it used to run great...

                  My master system is nothing fancy, **** I just upgraded it to windows 7 in July and it also got a new motherboard and is running an AMD Phenom x4 E2350 or something that is a special 2GHZ low power cpu that runs on either 25 watts or 65 watts, I forgot. I don;t put much time into my computers since they only impress me and I do not care to be impressed by them so I tend to spend most of my money on other things, like my cool exotic plants and landscaping and making boolits with a selection of over 25 powder coat colors now... Who cares. What was the question again?

                        Your laptop is more appealing than running games on your 980?! Let me guess, your 55 TV is just an eye sore.

                            I asked myself that all the time....

                            I'm of victim of buying a crap load of Steam games during the sale and sadly all I play is CSGO & H1Z1, so upgrading wouldn't do me any good other than bragging rights... just like my friends who have 980s and only play LoL...

                            Darn you Gaben...
