Nice! Sounds peachy and truth re: provider test server. Real world performance tests are all that matter, in broadband and, well, most areas.

I haven’t thought about this since I was old enough to have had it in hand. I’m pretty sure they used it to make the U.S. Mega Man box art as well.

Sounds great—and long-awaited! Godspeed on the builds. As long as you don't do what I did with my 1st PC back in high school and wire the PSU backwards, blowing your house's breakers, you'll be fine. In fact, I don't think it's still possible to do that. Not without really trying to, at least!
