Not to mention 2.7 Mhz is pretty outdated. For that kinda money you should get at least a gig.

The case's good looking, even though I'm not too fond of cases with windows.

And I think you mean 2.7 gHz :wink:

I think so
P.S I failed to mention that I got it with a DVD drive and DVD/CD rewrite. I mean come on $800 that G-force card costs about $300 by its self plus I got a guru mother board.

If you can find a computer that is the same for $800 and show me then congradulations you will have bumed me out. :lol:

I would have chosen a heavier case. The ATX cases are perhaps, too light weight.

Visit http://www.pricewatch.com and I can guarantee that price is split at least in half.

Not that heavy. I would go with something like a Chieftec case and modded it myself.

</DIV></DIV>

this may be true (in fact i know it is) but is it really important?

i have always believed that, if you are happy with your purchase, you didn't get entirely screwed.

whatever we may think, its what he thinks that counts most.

It depends on how much money you're willing to spend, how much you have.

I aint bought any parts to my computer except for a 120GB hard-drive
about half a year ago and a DVD-RW a couple of weeks ago. My older
brother is a computer genius and he upgrades his computer every now and
then with the latest stuff and puts his old gear into this one. Im
gonna get it to him asap now and this time Im getting a new graphics
card and a new processor.

My current specs include AMD Athlon XP 1800+ ~1,6GHz, 512MB RAM and GeForce3 Ti 200 so I can run Half-Life2 at medium quality.

Im satisfied with that.

Oh and about what you bough Half-dude, that case is such a waste. I
dont know much about buying computer parts but if theres one thing I
know, I would never spend money on a riced-up case.

Lol my flatmates case isn't made of actual lead lol! It's just so ridiculously heavy and clunky- it's quite funny. Has every PCI slot in use with raid cards and so many HD's and CD drives lol.

AMD doesn't even make a processor with rated clock speed of 2.7 GHz
except by overclocking, someone somewhere ripped you off... But if you
are happy then its all good

Have you thought maybe it's called 2700 or something?

Who knows overall performance may be equal to an Intel 2.7Ghz chip. Not that it really matters anymore.
