Rather impressive especially for those that run bloated slow programs. 
And here I was thinking he should take cover while booting it.

That is impressive. I wish I had some money just to put a modest extra build together, let alone a beast like that 
I liked the fire extinguisher.
Oh man... That looks awesome.... *Drools over computer*
It was funny to see Solitaire pop up and start auto-playing.
700mb movie in a fraction of a second. I'm filling up here.
Which all means it'll be outdated within a year

Makes my new Dell XPS430 look very very ordinary ...

OH LORD! That's a lot more than my car I bought in 2007 for $18,500!!!
That's okay, I'm sure some taxpayers funded it all.

That makes me feel a lot better... Especially when budget cuts keep coming where I work.
Wow that looks awesome!

Somehow a "tea party" could materialize out of that.

I'm gonna assume SSD means Solid State Drive. But it'd be better if it meant Super Secret Dipthongs. But that's just me.
And from what I've heard the tea parties were successful, non-violent and fun to be at (the ones where it didn't rain anyway). But I like coffee.

Nowadays people can get several terabytes by putting drives like Western Digital's 2TB HDD together in RAID
When people brag about having several terabytes in their pooter I wonder what part of Earths' climate and geology they wish to control. The amount of info you could hold on such a pooter would be incredibly immense. I know, it's DVD rippers who want parkinglot sized drives, not to enjoy DVDs but simply because they're addicted to the menial task of recording every video in existance. It's a Zen thing.

By "DVD Rippers" don't you mean the users who frequent "The Pirate Bay" >see post<

Well there's also HD video and HD audio which consumes space at an alarming rate when compared to SD DVD quality material.
