Selling my Ultimate Linux Workstation

I am selling my work station that I spent several years building up. It is a pretty hefty little system considering what all is in it but since I got my Dell laptop I haven’t used it at all really. Sad I know. The processor is not the fastest that is available but all of the other hardware surrounding it is extremely cool and up-to-date still. Since it is an open architecture system you can just upgrade until you are blue in the face. Read more for specs and pricing. Also, sorry I haven’t been posting any news to the site lately, I have been extremely busy launching some new sites.
