My comments about my computer:
For $492.43 this gaming computer has a lot of punch. Duel Core 2.4GHz Processor with 2Gb of quality RAM will handle most games. A GIGABYTE ATX Intel motherboard will compliment the processor and run well with all the hardware.
The EVGA 8800 GS 384MB is a high quality video card that runs cool and has good overclocking potential. The Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160Gb gives adequate space for a gamer, and fast LG Black Super Multi DVD Burner will allow the user to burn disc’s with ease.
The case for me is the perfect gamers case. The Rust Proof galvanized steel case comes with a 500w PSU. It has handles at the top and bottom, so carrying this to a LAN should be a doddle!

If you’d like to get more traffic for your build add it to stumbleupon.com. It takes a couple minutes to register, but you could get over 100,000 visitors to this page(as other pages on this site have gotten from stumbleupon)
RAM: Overpriced. $58 bucks for 2gigs? And this isn’t a SLI build… Also be careful with this brand, Ive heard/read bad things.
GPU: This card isn’t even 256-bit. Geforce 9600 and Radeon HD 3870 blow this one out of the water, and for only a small amount more.
HD: Seagate’s a good brand, but 160gb? Definitely not enough for me.
Mobo: A nice mobo, but probably overkill for this build.
Case+PSU: The case is ok (read reviews), but I see no specs for the PSU. 500W should be enough, but as for how good/reliable the PSU is? Reviews? Specs? Amps (esp on 12V Rails)? Be careful on this one.
Thanks for the feedback.
