thats cool, playing games is always fun with a partner

wow, nice build. do you know about how long it took her total to do? i know she wasn't rushing through it or anything, i'm just curious

does she know how to overclock? or do you plan on teaching her? cause i'm sure that opty isn't in there for no reason ;)
