I've always wanted to build my own rig for gaming. Right now I run XP Media Edition on a 5, or maybe 6, year-old HP chassis with most of the guts ungraded. As the games I play (SH4, GT Legends/GTR2, IL-2) are as old as the rig itself, it runs fine with the graphics cranked up to max...mostly. Populate too many race cars or fighter squadrons at once and it occasionally shutters. But not enough to warrant hearing my bride complain about "wasting money on stupid toy." Besides, it's fun to look at the catalogues.
