Gigabyte M56S-S3

Gigabyte M56S-S3 

My secondary computer. Stable and very useful. It is setup with two LG Flatron E2350V LCD monitors.

One of the functions this serves is the maintenance of web site data based on my excel sheets. SharePoint won't import excel on the Win 7 machine, so I use this with FrontPage to perform that function.
