actually I have not found a good use for it other than playing Flight Simulator X on dual 30" monitors. I built it because I needed a new desktop so I figured why not go all out.

If anyone needs some numbers crunched or things rendered just let me know.

Honestly, I would love to see what kind of computational power that is. Is there anyway you can run some standard CPU benchmarks on it like Cinebench?
