thoughts? Am I forgetting something big?

[LA_MERC_Onji]

i would get a sound card, screw onboard.

also you accidentally put vista in your order ;)

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

I don't have speakers, actually...I use the headset that has the digital audio thing through USB...the brand name escapes me though...Plantronics, I think. Something like that

As for vista...I don't know. I may drop it

[LA_MERC_goose]

Is the 400 gig drive gonna be big enough? :D

How about some really freaky glow in the day light case fans? :stick

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Hehe...ok, dropped Vista and the DVD burners. Dropped the video card (maybe) in favor of this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125054

[LA_MERC_goose]

I agree with card LT - much more gooder than the XFX.

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Supposedly this card out performs the 8800: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121023

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

Just hurry up so I can buy your old sh!t. hahahahahaha

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Man, I think I'm going to keep my DVD burner and stuff...and one of my HDD's (the 200 GB one). The rest will go with the system. Oh, and you'll need a case too.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

I will get everything next week. Just let me know the price. It will play BF2 right?

[LA_MERC_Onji]

you gotta get a dvd burner, but dont get a liteon. get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152076

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

yeah, I already have a burner and a drive...but I'll just keep them instead of replacing.

And yes, it'll run BF2...it's the same machine I was running it on before.

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

DAmmm what a freaking card..LOL

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Still ok?

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

The old one will do just fine.

[LA_MERC_Drax]

I'm thinking of building me a desktop since my laptop gave it up. How much is the total bill runnin you on that setup tech?

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

It's around 1300...but that's without a case.
