alright, i'm convinced...
i can build a better machine than dell. like smoking, on fire better...thanks to everyone who gave me great!!! advice and assured me that putting a system together is not the daunting task that it seems.
what i got comin':
abit kn9 nforce4 mobo
64 x2 4200+ windsor
western digital caviar 160 gb hd
evga 7900gs 256 ko
lg gsa-h10n dvd rw
corsair twin2x2048-6400c4 ddr2 800 (2gb)
coolmax cxi-500b 500w psu
benQ fp93gx 19" lcd 2ms
rosewill r5601-bk case
xp media sp2b
microsoft keyboard and mouse
that's right...the whole enchilada. for 1300. and change, including shippin', not includin' mail in rebates. and it will be here tuesday, not mid-november.
1300 bucks and it will (i think) beat the crap out of anything dell puts out anywhere near that price (and probably what they put out at a lot more!)
plus the joy of making it myself.
keep your fingers crossed...i am sure i will need help! especially when i start to oc...heheheh
congratulations! you have converted another hapless consumer!
p.s. about the only thing i didn't change on my original wishlist was the cpu...thanks again for the down-low everyone!
