\"I\’M GETTING OLD. Very old. I know this because my tastes in computers are changing in ways I never could have anticipated—ways that are scary to a guy like me. And let me be clear, I am the guy who always has to have the fastest computer possible for anything close to a sane amount of money. I\’m the prototypical overclocker, the guy who gets a kick both out of going fast and out of having saved a buck in the process. I want my computer to impress people in a way that is slightly menacing. Back in the day, my dual Celeron 300A rig was overclocked to 504MHz and had—count \’em—fourteen fans going full tilt all the time, inside a giant tower case that could have easily housed a family of four. We didn\’t have brushed aluminum cases or neon yet, but I made sure I had as much cooling power as CPU power.\"
