--- | the rack 2

The Rack is my computer. Its not really the name of my computer. My computer has no name, I just came up with it. I needed a short word that I could make an icon out of. That's that red stuff you see on the left.

Since I majored, and am still majoring in Computer Engineering, I do know a thing or two about computer *gasp*, and surprise surprise, I'm gonna have an entire page dedicated to my past and present computers, so let's get it on!

OK, here's the interesting part. Who needs to know about history anyway? Old computer hardware is just so boring =) so here's my stuff...

Note: These pictures are quite large(physically, not in bytes) so they will not fit into the windows of people with less than 1024x768 resolution. If you don't at least have a 1024x768 resolution desktop, you suck. Get a larger monitor.
