After finding that my Dell laptop, while billed as a gaming machine, isn't very useful for anything serious given recently-discovered temperature issues, I decided to build my own rig for both that reason and the experience (hey, a computer major needs some hardware experience, no?).

NAVI named itself almost from the start of planning (Navi is Lain's HAL-esque computer in Serial Experiments: Lain).



"Hello, NAVI.".
