Introduction

Edward Crisler (Computer Ed), who hosts a Radio Show in southern Illinois, does a series of shows related to a system build. This is a once a year series where Ed researches product, determines what direction he will take and then presents the system to his listeners. This year, Ed has chosen to build a cost efficient gaming machine based on the economy and focusing on those who game with MMOs.

Although the focus of this review is for gaming, the system is more than capable of running popular applications and video encoding. If you would like to listen to The Computer ED Show, you can listen via iTunes. The show generates from WJPF, 1020 and 1340 AM , Sundays at 1 PM CST - the link to the iCast can be found at WJPF.COM.
