That is the biggest POS out there

I will take it off your hands

 

[datallah]

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal.
My only question is why did u go for the 52X LG over a DVD drive (they should be almost the same price)

First of all, it sure helps when the Motherboard, the GeForce 2 card and the 1,33 AMD chip were in sales Yes, I bought my comp from a store, not online like a lot of you do but the key is to bargain

To answer your question data, I didn't bought a DVD because I'm not planing to watch any DVD Movies.

By the way, I will call the store to change my monitor to a NEC Accusync As75F .25 (Is the Samsung 750S .24 better??)

 

[SpecialEd]

looks good... it sucks that you have to get a 56k modem and not a NIC... no ethernet connection?

Ed: I have a DSL connection at home, but I'll be moving soon to an appartement near college so Ill be back on weekends and I dont want to pay for 2 internet access

A smaller dot pitch is better, so I'd go for the 750S

i dont see a cd burner...

 

[SpecialEd]

gotcha.

 

[Transistor]

Nice system. I especially like the Vantec Copper HSF.

 

[NelsonMuntz]

Good choices. the HSF is awesome, as well as a good case, monitor, processor, video card, hard drive, and mouse. I would have done a DVD instead of the CD-ROM, but that's personal. What kind of RAM is it? That's where the Crucial would have come in for mine.

Duo: I didn't bought a Cd-burner because my neighbor got one and I can have every cd I want for free so...

 

[Rampage316]

Nelson: This ain't crucial cauz I bought my comp in a store and I can't remember which brand they'll put in my comp, damn it... I was 3 hours ago! LOL

 

[Rampage316]

By the way, I just call the store to change my monitor to a NEC Accuysnc As75F .25

 

[GregMal]

At least they could throw in a mouse pad.....geesh....

[Rampage316]

Hey Greg, I already have a Power Tapis! lol

Take a plastic vegetable cuting board as a mouse pad, you won't believe it, it DOES slide great

Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your advices during this month and I'm glad I made great decisions, if you have anything else to say on my new system, feel free to do so
