Vinnie Smegma's Current Computer

Often times as I trawl the internet in search of useless information I happen across pages upon pages of posts dedicated to custom-built computers as if it's a rite of passage for webmasters, forum members, and geeks alike. While I'm certainly not one to stroke my "ePenis" I have alluded to the fact that I tend to make larger investments in the way of computer components in my previous updates. Below is a breakdown of the most current desktop I've built for development, gaming, hacking, programming, and video editing.
