Inside? Currently that would be my RAM. $180 for two gigs of top-end G.Skill back in the day. That's not counting the gig Nagasama sent me (thanks, buddy).

16ms isn't bad for a 57" monitor.... It isn't meant for gaming.. it's meant for business use I'm sure or home theater setups where response times mean basically nothing.

60 inch plasma for 5g's with burn in protection 20 million to 1 contrast and 2ms refresh. thats a panasonic

^huh? How did you get a q6600 for that cheap?

That's how much Q6600s were four months ago, on every site I visited. Scan.co.uk periodically have them for £130 in their Today Only section (incidentally that's where I got my entire build, excluding the case I got last month).
The entire build in my sig cost £640, though the case was £100 and like I said, bought afterwards, so £540.

Surely that's XFX's fault, not Scan's; though obviously Scan could've handled stuff better.
Still, I've bought stuff from them for years, never had a problem with them

Edit: Ah, now I've read the entire thing, I guess Scan is to blame there
