And don't forget the REO Speedwagon.

Ginzburgh, you have any problems building your own PC rather then buying a prebuild system?

If you can put the parts together look into something like this

<a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103535" target=_blank>AMD 64 3200</a> $152

<a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127207" target=_blank>ABit AN8 SLI 939 Motherboard</a> $134.99

<a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145587" target=_blank>CORSAIR XMS 2GB TWINX2048-3200C2</a> $165

<a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122245" target=_blank>GeForce 7600 GT</a> $189

<a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144701" target=_blank>250G SATA II HD</a> $90

Case, anything you want.

Give $150 for case and PS, $881

This would be far more then enough to play EQ2 and just about anything else out there. Its considerably less then what you put together. For about $75 more you could upgrade from a 3200 to a 3700 and get a 1M cache.

I'm thinking about lighting some candles and warming up some massage oils to create the proper ambiance.


Will only work if you want buttsex.

Thanks for the advisement. I'll definitely take it under consideration. I was always too much of a chicken to bite the bullet and do it myself. Maybe I'll try this time.

I'm kicking around that idea too. Here's a detailed how-to guide if you're interested:

I am able to create a machine tailored exactly to what I want and showing a price without giving any personal information. Maybe your just having trouble operating a flash driven interface. I guess you have proven a weakness in flash. Not everyone is apt enough to figure out how to use it.


Who are you and what gives you the right to come here and be snippy with NT vets? ><


I first heard of NT when I attended a vox raid that Pathalogical was leading. It had the enchanters waiting to sell people the l33t BD gear.
