Nice, but I'm still not sure why everyone loves that case so much. I don't find it the least bit appealing.

I went quad core cos it was only £30 extra and i was like "oh sod it why not ay?"
I got the case because i got many good reviews and look good for cooling. I didnt want to my a case for looks its whats in it that counts to me.

Nice, although you have a great system - I'd recommend that you buy a Raptor or something!

You brought that same fucking bullshit on me in my thread when I talked about my rig, and claimed I got all my parts from "mommy and daddy" because I'm from long island.

Stop thinking everyone's a fucking kid that doesn't work and is born with silver spoon in hand.

Some people have work ethic. Ever hear of it?

[/rant]

Anyways, nice computer. But you shoulda waited until the July 22nd intel price drop. I also have that case...it looks really nice and it's easy to work with.

That has been true since the dawn of gaming PCs. I don't think it will ever change. The best thing to do is build a bad ass system that will last you about 3-4 years.

That's what I did. And then you can just update part by part instead of a whole new system. That's why custom > oem.

I have the same drive, i wouldnt buy it if you play any games with SecuROM enabled with the disk. It takes me ages to get Test Drive Unlimited to work. Would like a solution if anyone knows...

xRBLx: I've got lovely bunch of coconuts!!; +27|6827|England - Kent

I was forced to buget on some things like the HD and sound card tho it will be my fist time playing with a sound card i will see how it goes and may decind to upgrad in the future.

I didnt want to go wireless but i really didnt have the choice, i cant run a cable long enouth tho i am exploring the chances of my ISP to wire in another point in my room.
Also later on i will prob go SLi with he cards + ram.
My only real worry is that some thing goes wrong with the build :S
My younger brother works for the couier company so i know the boxes will be looked after.
