Ugh, I forgot how it felt spending quite a bit of money on a computer

It could be worse, you would have spent three grand to get upper-mid system less than a decade ago.

The last time I was into computers was when the Geforce 3 was released back in 2001 😱

Doesn't seem like too bad of a system 😕

Slightly more than $700 for a machine (especially with a display) is not a terrible sum.

Another retro Socket 754 user! The NV8 to boot 😎
Don't see a need to switch to Socket 939 - especially with a nice ClawHammer under the hood (see Valar).

damn I need to get a new desktop.. might have to just build one

 

[dighn]

I want to get a new rig but I can't find a reason to. all the new PC games are kinda "meh"

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I hope that powersupply is an overachiever for that $25 price.

 

[Penth]

I spent half of that on a couple hard drives last week. Hopefully that'll be the only money I sink into computers this year though.

true, but I'm not really into computer gaming, I just got this for the "just in case" deal 😱

 

[Mo0o]

I ordered a Sempron 64 2600+ and newegg shipped me an athlon 64 3000+, go me for free upgrade

 

[Acanthus]

Power supply is scary

Also... abit is going under, dont expect the full warrenty.

When I got my first computer, paid $3k for a 150mhz. I go cry now 🙁

You may want to scan the hot deals forum before you order that HD - I snagged a 160Gb SATA Seagate for $49.99 AR. 🙂

Nice rig, but why 512 mb instead of a gig of memory, and why the craptacular PSU?

 

[cKGunslinger]

That's about right for a full system. Newegg used to have free shipping sales, but since they seemed to jack the prices up a bit during the same week, it's all the same.
