I think you will make your sister proud to have you as a brother. and I really like the way you have done your shopping. you have a nice system for the use at hand. Job well done.

[skywalker[TSG]]

thanks gene

i think that she will be wery happy
and i will be too
since she wont F**K up my puter either

[smokin1]

I think that will be a great system for her..but maybe see if she can come up with the extra 21$ and keep the 17" monitor

[Brydon]

Looks good to me..all you need now are a couple of second hand nics and you can play some multiplayer

[bhess]

sounds great! I would get the 17" monitor also

[Warthog]

Brydon's right, you could play some multiplayer. Don't think she won't either! I'm 16 and my sister is 19 and she LOVES to play Rogue Spear online.

Warthog

I like her already.

[Biff]

Looking good, I would drop the extra coin for a larger monitor.
Sounds to me like your sista's got a great brother!

[skywalker[TSG]]

i got a great offer today and i took it

i got a brand new 19" mon for her
it only cost 199$

its a no name brand but it has good image quality so its ok

i hope that she will be happy

because im paying for all this myself as a gift to her for her birthday

[catcow]

I would think twice about that SB PCI 128 if she ever want's to play 'Aliens Vs Predator'.
Even with the latest game patches and card drivers you only get a few sounds out of it and i've heard a few other games have the same problem. Other than that, nice system.

All of this stuff is brand new at those prices??? Where did you get everything from?

[skywalker[TSG]]

im a retailer so i get these prices because i order hmmm 1000units of each thing


the cpu has changed to a amd K6/3 550
i got it for 89$ so this is turning out into a real power system
almost too good for my sis :/
but me dont care its her birthday and all

[skywalker[TSG]]

also the soundcard has been changed to a SB live player 1024 for 25$

so the total of the comp has gone up by hmm about 70$ but then again now its a power system and not a bugdet one

[catcow]

Nice one...
