[Nubius]

Whoa I did somethin? haha, don't even remember lol

Seems good to go to me. Just remember to OC up that 3200+ and post your results for us

 

[c4sTr0]

no way would i not.
this computer is in part yours, its ur guys's creation!

 

[Nubius]

Aright cool I expect the parts on my doorstep next wednesday

 

[c4sTr0]

hahahahahaha

maybe if you give me ur first born son
but for now ill challenge u to a match of counter strike to show u what a super computer can accomplish with 0% lag and a radeon video card

 

[Nubius]

lol, mines no super computer but it'd still handle counter strike with no lag at all with maxed out graphics

 

[Codeine]

Next time, just post the name of the hardware. Not the model t74957934537 along with the other crap lol. Its easier that way for you, and we dont have to hurt our eyes. : )

 

[c4sTr0]

lol just have a note pad saved as "new computer" with the links and prices for myself so i just copy and pasted it. its my personal list right there.
i had some more things added to it like more serial numbers and links but i spared u guys that much

 

[c4sTr0]

so any objections any1?
if not im putting this baby together.

 

[Nubius]

Seems good to go
