My hardware project is beginning to come together nicely. So far, I have all of the computer components I need, while the exterior case is something I need to work on. Actually, there is a gentleman who is going to help me out by bending the metal pieces I need for the back and the brackets to hold it all together. The only thing I have to do is draw it up so that he knows what I need.

Once I get those pieces, I can assembled everything and then begin to work on the operating system/system configuration. I am leaning towards a dual-boot configuration so that I can have full gaming support no matter which game I want to play.
