All,
Some of you may remember the post I put up a few weeks ago regarding a friend torn between an IBuyPower computer and a homebuilt one... Well I finally got him to go home built and he gave me a $2500 budget (I'm not charging him for labor) and here's what I came up with. I'll complete the build sometime next week (@10 Sep) and will post benchmark results shortly thereafter. Also, the single HD (vs RAID) was his idea as well as the single DVD-ROM drive (he does all his CD/DVD burning on a laptop). No plans to OC as of now. He's gonna use the onboard sound as he only has 5:1 speakers anyway. I can't wait to post the results and pics!!!
