I've already got a rosewill 19" 8ms lcd, logi x-530s and some other cool stuff.

ANY COMMENTS? :confused:
 
Well, everything is good IMO. I wouldn't change a thing.

I have the same HDD, and you might come across something I did with mine as it is pretty widespread. A lot of the WD2500KS HDDs came with a faulty temperature sensor. Mine reads at around 60C, while my other HDDs run at 24 (including a Raptor). Other than that, it's proven to be a really good HDD, and benchmarks quite well. I wouldn't let a temp sensor sway you from this HDD.

I knew there was a reason it felt...complete. The final combination. :cool: ya just know..."she's the one". hahaha. But seriously... awesome. I'll run it across my older brother and maybe I'll wait a few days. Probably buy next monday.

Booyakasha... :)
 
looks good...HOWEVER.....the RAM you are getting is only 1 stick. It won't run in dual channel mode. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a 2x1gb kit.

yea, if u got ddr, take advantage of it, ddr is bad &*) but if u dont got 2 chips u cant use it, so pay the extra 100bux and get a faster pc
:eek: :rolleyes: :amazed:

If you can swing the coin, a 2gb kit of RAM would be a great upgrade. But, shoot, if you had that money, might as well go E6300+DS3 for an extra $70 :p
