    My parts list for my stepdaughters Bday present

    OK here is what I have come up with for the parts list for the new rig. I think I can get my father in law to spring for a flat screen monitor and she should be set. This list in minus the CPU because I will be using my current Conroe E6600 in it.

    Any and all comments would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the MB advice Juneau.

    Total cost is $514.93 - $85.00 in MIRs + 27 in shipping = $456.93

            Photo choped, it looks nice thou, its def worth doing i'd say!

            I cant do this one in ps, but how about

            Black = light pink, and blue = dark pink
            or better
            black = pink and blue = white

            Bit more work but, maybe someone who has better ps skills could show us that one.

            If you get a silver/whitish lcd monitor with those, it would be perfect

              I think I will look into painting it myself. This is getting fun.

                It will be good when she see's its pink, plus if you repaint it you'll get that feeling when she sees it

                Girly cases are hard to come by, at least what i've seen anyway.

                Just remember to undercoat it white, those blue trims, and the front, and other parts will be plastic.

                  The specs look decent Duke.

                  You could always go with a pink case off the bat:

                    I saw those cases Devilguns and I think they are TOO pink for her. It is so hard to figure out what the heck she wants when she changes her mind every other time I discuss it with her. That's a trait she gets form her mother. The idea of painting it would make it more personal but I'm not much of an artist and I would hate to mess up the case. I guess i'll show all these cases to my wife and see what she thinks. One aspect of the Enermax case that I like is that the inputs are on top of the case which makes it easier where it will be sitting.

                      with the black and blue one, just changing the color of the blue bits would make a difference.

                        OK I have made a few changes to my list after talking with my wife. I have changed that case, MB, video card and I added a card reader. I went with a larger MB for the extra USB and Memory slots for future expansion. After all the changes I still come up with $562.41 with $100.00 in MIRs plus $34.81 in shipping. Now if only the Q9450 would come out so I can build this thing. I may just get a Q9300 if it too close to the Bday. Here are the changes.

                              Yes, it is safe. I just went to their brick and mortar store and picked up one of these bad boys, I just couldn't resist any longer. The deal online was apparently so good, and these things so scarce, they sold out in under two hours The store I bought this at only had 12 more in stock, down from the 40 pieces they received this morning.

                              Talk about a hot commodity....maybe I should resell this for a profit

                                I have been too busy to play any games. I would make time for CainsLair games though.
