Welcome to the beginning of Project: Threshold. I've been away from the PC modding and enthusiast community for a number of years now due to a number of personal and family problems that went hand-in-hand with an addiction to heroin that I had developed. Thanks to my good friend Stoneyman, I've been given a chance to become involved with modding once again, so this build is my re-introduction to the scene and I know it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun. I'm moving out of my comfort zone with this build and plan to go above and beyond anything I've done in the past and do something that's just flat out stupid and amazing. So enjoy, regular updates will be posted as this project is kicked into gear. Planned specifications are as follows, and modifications are to be awaited upon execution, step-by-step picture posts to follow.
