    Cheers.

    Do you have any current parts that you will be using?  Such as Mouse, Keyboard, Floppy drive, CD drive, DVD Drive, Monitor, etc?  That will help to determine what you want to purchase to build a new PC.  I always try to salvage what I can use from my old PC when building a new one.  Also do you have the operating system already or will you be purchasing a new copy?

    Currently playing:
    LOTRO & WoW (not much WoW though because Mines of Moria rocks!!!!)

    Looking Foward too:
    Bioware games (Dragon Age & Star Wars The Old Republic)

    I bet you most of the people who start topics like this never actually buy or build anything.

    Oh, I know full well only 4% of the people who start these topics actually go through with it, but I still very much so enjoy doing them

    Do any places still actually sell XP?  I love my case but it is more expensive then the one you have there.  I have the Antec 900 gaming case.  I love that fan on the top it keeps me cool while I play.

    Ha, yeah, I have a custom built case, but I have a big fan on the side thats directed at me and it keeps me cool lol. I also have a switch for when its too cold. lol that reminds me of one time I was at work and it was one of the hottest days this summer, and the AC wasn't working so I was working on someones computer and I was the only one there so i rigged up a few fans off of someone PC and cooled myself down.
