Laysan is my current desktop computer.
This is by far the fastest (and quietest) computer I have ever used or owned.
I had intended to build a server, then it got turned into my desktop instead.

PNY VCQ2000D-PB Quadro 2000D 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Workstation Video Card This is the only component in this build that I would change; I would get a high end gaming board instead of a low end workstation board.
