Living Room / Re: OK - lets get to know each other... who are you, what do you do, where from?

Wow, looks like I'm surrounded by a lot of grandpas, how sweet it is.
It's nice to meet everyone here.

I'm 28, just got my Master in Computer Science from Texas A&M recently.
I was born in Rolla, Missouri, US and moved to Taiwan with my parents when I was 7.
After staying in Taiwan almost 19 years, I came back to US for my master.

As you may know Taiwan is a computer country, many computer parts are made/designed in Taiwan (ASUS,Gigabyte,Acer...etc).
Computer parts can be easily bought, it is as easy as buying a coke so people in Taiwan usually don't buy bundled PCs, we always DIY.
Most of my undergrad classmates work in the computer industry, even my girlfriend works in ASUS as a RD.
I've been DIYing Computers and programming since high school when I was 17,
and maintaining UNIX-like servers, writing/modfying server programs as an administrator for years.

I miss my girlfriend and those delicious food/ night life funs in Taiwan,
but I really love my car, the big road, and the big steak in Texas.

Maybe you can tell us more about how you use your pc, what kind of programs you run, gaming or not, and what you really care...etc, so I can give you a suggestion depending on your needs.
It looks like you care about your data and harddrives, doesn't it?
