 Gman's new computer
I'm going to throw some money at our sponsor because they've got pretty competitive prices and they're contributing to our tournies.
Half of it is newegg, and the other half is wholesale computers (our sponsor).
I've got a 120gb (7200rpm) hdd, and an ATI x700 Pro pcie from best buy this morning ($300 but I get $170 back in rebates).
Motherboard: ASUS A8N5X nForce4
https://www.emaxasp.com/thewholesalecom ... =AS04A8N5X
Case: Aspire X-Cruiser
https://www.emaxasp.com/thewholesalecom ... RUISER%2DB
P/S: OCZ ModStream 450W (cool because it has removable cables, so there are no extra ones dangling around)
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6817104154
CPU: AMD Athalon 64 3500+ w/ 1GHz fsb
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6819103533
RAM: 2gb (4x512) TwinMOS DDR 400 (PC3200)
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6820218062
HDD: Western Digital 36GB 10,000rpm hdd (for windows/steam - I'll use the 120gb one for storage)
https://www.emaxasp.com/thewholesalecom ... =WD07360GD
Sound: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 (7.1)
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6829102179
Drives: Pioneer 16x16 Dual Layer DVD RW +/- RAM
https://www.emaxasp.com/thewholesalecom ... m=PI33404B
Liteon (cheapass) 52x cd-rom
https://www.emaxasp.com/thewholesalecom ... =LT33053BK
Sony 3.5" floppy
https://www.emaxasp.com/thewholesalecom ... m=SO08001B
Total cost: around $1,000 after shipping.
Input? Ideas? I'm open to suggestions, but if you say "ZOMG GIT THIS LOL," you better post a link to it and offer some serious input.

Hey Kitten! What does Gman play? CZ. That's it! Do I need SLI? Do I need a 6800GT?
nope.
I know it's not the best shit on the market, but it's going to be fast. A shitload faster than what I've got.
