would it be in general hardware? its kind of an all encompassing question.

Why are you skimping on the video card? I'd get an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro for about $60 more.

 

[Mo0o]

hmm anything to cut out to kind of buffer the price increase?

Is that a 17" flat panel? Step it down to a 15"er.

know any good deals for 15''ers?
