You’re kinda scaring me there with the way you’re catching up so quick. I thought I could lounge around while I had a 20 point lead, but I’m going back to campaigning now. Nice build BTW, pretty much good all around, though I have to wonder why you chose a case with a power supply that’s known to blow up before even being turned on.
Lol, I lied, I know why you picked it: It’s CHEAP for a case + decent watt power supply.
Thanks,
I see sending out that email begging for votes helped!
Now I need to hit up some of my friends on mirc for more votes!
I know it’s a cheap-ass case/ps but I built dozens of rigs with similar power supplies and have had decent results, my goal was to make a good all-around PC..decent gaming card, plenty of drive space and RAM, besides the price I chose the MB becase I have really good luck with ECS boards and it has 4 memory slots, so adding more RAM is possible.
Hey Marlin,
other than that crap case it’s a nice build!
gave ya a thumbs up!
good luck in the contest!
Ha ha…this machine would probably be a step up for you..just kiddin…good luck
Good build! I probably would have used a core 2 duo though
