Not to brag or be overly curious, but I like to show and know what people are using in term of computer and what they use them for. I don't want this to be a flamewar thread, just a simple exchange between users and afficionado. Me, I have four of them. First: I use this one mainly for video capture and transcoding but I also code on it. The two nvidia card in sli does have a great impact on transcoding.
