**** yes. Been awhile since November when I said I was gonna get one but after a couple of months money has turned on us, and I'm almost most definately selling my 360 and shit just to get this.

It's pretty good for a budget PC. Originally I thought something of this stature would be around 800$

Gotta love Newegg.

Nice. I was suprised when i built mine a few years ago too. 2.2 Duel core AMD, 2gigs RAM, 512mb Radeon video card, liqued cooling system, case had a clear side wall with blue LEDs. It was ****ing baddass and more then enough for back then. Only cost me about $750.

I wanted a flashy case, but then I though, no matter how cool they are, I'm not gonna be staring at the case, I'll be staring at my monitor :D

I need 2-D or Vincent to take a look at this.

Get yourself an additional small and inexpensive SSD. Something like this. It might seem ridiculously expensive for such a small amount of storage, and it is, but believe me, if you keep all your system files on that thing (meaning, install your OS on it), your system is going to be blazing fast. Because traditional hard drives are by far the slowest component in any computer.

I know what an SSD is, but believe me, I don't mind.
