Yep... very clever! Laughing out loud

I'm going to have to go with nike_guy_man, my dream machine wouldn't be a windows config.
I think mine would have to be the computer they have on Star Trek Voyager... a computer that actually will make your coffee in the morning. Wink

... although I'm pretty darn happy with my dual processor G5 mac. Laughing out loud

gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

I can see where they got the name with the connection to Saville Row suits. I've been looking again this morning and although expensive, the kit is outstanding.

The custom built PC's have resulted in me needing to clean my keyboard with the amount of drool currently all over it! Laughing out loud

But yeah some of em are lots of money... There's a guy running a plutonium with 4 huge (and i do mean huge) plasma screens for wrap around display and it looks sweet... very "movie"esque
