Well I used it for a testing platform for different systems, so I was swapping out parts and trying different set ups. I ended up with enough stuff to probably build 3 PC's. heh. Taught me the difference in OC AMD and Intel. Driver issues between AMD and Nvida. How to use different RAIDS and a how to record via HDMI, the subtlties of SSD and how to get the best performance. When you think about it though, someone may have paid a 1000$ for 4 credits from a college to learn some of that stuff, and I just learned it from buying the hardware. And now I get to keep the hardware. And its not that I don't use the PC. I am using it now. Its just I don't use it to its full power. I need to give it a overhaul soon. Maybe when the new Diablo game comes out.
