    :ugh:

     

    :o

     

    Seriously, don't spend that much on a fucking case... It's a case for christs sake..

     

    Also, I got a LITE-ON drive, never burnt a CD but would burn DVD's just fine. No idea what's wrong with it, I've updated all my drivers and even uninstalled Daemon tools..

     

    One more thing, I don't think you really need to get a seperate audio card, most integrated audio cards will do the job just fine now days, unless of course you HAVE to have the 7 speakers playing rather than the 6 the mobo's can support.

    be cool and buy a dell!!!!2321321312312

     

    well right now i got my assemmbaly line gateway atm

    1. Don't buy that case. Who cares how much it costs, that thing looks gayer than kirby.

     

    2. Don't buy that soundcard. It's about as good as integrated, except your motherboard already has it included. Unless you get a premium card like an X-Fi, you are wasting your money.

    the case has RICE written all over it=gay

     

    get an AMD dual core with teh crossfire. ATI 3850 vid cards FTW k...under $200, they have the same power as the 8800 Ultra and way cheaper.

    cheaper than SLI. you can get 2 ATI3850's for less than the price of one 8800 nVidia card plus crossfire PWNZ SLI anyday. Crossfire uses 50% of the second card where SLI can only use up to 40% of the second card which is for the lose.

     

    nVidia cards require a BIG ASS PSU.....they get really hot so they need some major fanage and shit. the 3850 runs cool and will unOverClock itself when not in use which means you can save power with a smaller PSU...maybe a 400W, not a 550W like I have.

     

    MSI MOBO FTW...back in the day ASUS was the shit...MSI is the shit now.

    mommy and daddy will replace your computer with a dell or gateway or anything thats a piece of shit.

    dont spend more then 50$ on the case, its whats inside that counts

     

    The ram could be better, drop the shitty ram and get DDR2-800

     

    also, get a video card with GDDR4

     

    you need to rework the whole thing to get that right

    you need to buy the most minimalist case possible man, fuck that alienware looking shit.

     

    my case is 10 years old and the most basic looking piece of shit possible
