Thats a pretty good setup right there for you Cain...nice work Juneau

[WalkinTarget]

Surprisingly, I give Juneau props on all choices .. I wouldn't change anything from his list, altho there are plenty of items that were selected.
Nice work, and that looks like a well planned rig.
We'll assume he would add the eVGA 8800GTS 512mb card as well.

I'm eyeing this case ......

Bad timing on purchasing that case. It was $90 after a $90 MIR from Newegg back in late November.


To make it worse, it was FREE shipping at the same time on it too.

[BlackArrow]

love the case. need to find you a better deal on it.

That PSU is not as good as the one i specced Cain. Not sure on the card readers as i've never used or bought one.

And from my other post...

A white card reader on a silver case ??? Ughhh, tell me you plan on painting it at least ??

Sorry, but I am color anal on my builds .. it has to at least be in a similar color spectrum.

So your clothes are all one color?

Not unless I'm working in the penal facility. (get your mind out of the gutter if you are thinking wrongly here).

Ever see a guy wearing faded jeans and a denim collared shirt ?? Gahhh, I think that looks so incredibly tacky. Apache, you are clearly confusing clothing fashion with PC hardware and accessories, which are two separate animals.

Do you, by chance, wear a denim shirt with jeans a lot ??

Edit: Added a pic of one just for ugliness sake.
