As the title states, here's another new build (I know, you guys get these all the time) for your review. My goal is to costs without cutting performance. I know most people suggest better products for the same price, but if I can get similar quality out of less money, that's what I need to do. However, if there's something that is outrageously better quality for the same price, I'm open to those suggestions too. Also, I put this list together by piecing together similar-looking builds and the recommendations made by other members (PP Mguire, you rock!). So without any further stalling for time, let's get to why I'm posting =D
