This system is one of my favorites. It was found at the front of a tech repair store and had been parted out. I bought the system for $10 with only its case, motherboard, cooler, and RAM. The main reason I bought it was because its had nearly the maximum configuration from the factory, originally shipping with an i7 970, 24Gb of RAM, a GTX 580, a Blu-Ray drive, and Windows 7 Ultimate. I found new parts to replace what was missing and I was able to find its factory software from ComputerSurgeons. This system has been incredible for me and chews through nearly everything I try.
This system was named Durham after the city in North Carolina, USA.
