THIS PAGE IS ALL
ABOUT MY CHILD... MY COMPUTER.
(well it's more just my creation than my child but oh well)
This page is dedicated to my computer. Many people name their computers but I don't really have a name for mine. Someone has referred to it as "Beast" at one point but there are better computers out there so I don't really think that name fits.
This page will basically just have some pics (once I get my camera fixed) and will replace the little list on the main page which shows the system specifications (oh big word, aren't I a fucking genius). I put it all in a nice pretty chart. I will also soon post some benchmarks and 3DMark 2001 & 2003 scores (just have to download 3DMark).

Any questions? A loser like myself? Want to make fun of my shitty machine? Email me at jontss @ lycoss.com! Make sure you read the disclaimer on the first page though.
Here's some pics I finally got around to taking.
They're not the greatest but I don't have very good lighting in my room.
