| These are some really great systems for $1,000, you guy's have done a great job. I see a trend with the NEC burner but other than that we have different mobo's and better yet a wide range of processors and video cards. This shows me that there is alot more ways to build a low end system than I would have thought possible. |

| Mine is pretty well balanced out with a decent processor and a midrange card. The motherboard is also very good if you are gonna overclock. I really dumped alot of dollars on the 2gb ram set. Hitman's is pretty good. Nice overclocking proc and a 7900GT to boot. I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |
