Wow. Guys, he's already bought the system so stop telling him what to get. He's not gonna return that stuff just cuz a bunch of people, half of whom don't know what they're talking about, told him to return it.

As for Ste...he needs to be muted. Seriously, he's giving crap advice to people.

im in a band ... and we havent done much recording yet ... so thats actually a good thing.

yeah i also have the x86 xp pro so ill try them both out.

still undecided about speakers/headset yet ...

Cool then. Since you're still undecided about the sound system, I still say to go with a good headset. If you choose to go with the headset, I recommend this one.

I decided to go all out ... this is what I came up with. I'm sure ya'll will disaggree with some of my choices, but screw off

I also decided that i'd go with the monitor i have .. which is the 8ms 19" L90D+ hyundia... its pretty nice ... but somewhere along the lines i think ill get a really nice projector or somethnig ... sounds like fun to me.

i wont mention the price .. you'll have to add it up yourself

Nice.. you basically went with my setup. That Lian-Li is the best case ever made.

[Flanker]

I haven't played it, but yea, from what I've seen of it, I want to play it. Looks really interesting.

BUT, get BF2 and max it out. Like 1600x1200, all high settings wih 4x anti aliasing, lol or w/e the max is. Then take pics and post em here :classic:

Hint: In most new games, pressing Prt Scn automatically takes a screenshot.

Oh, forgot, you just ordered it...lol...bummer.
