Ditto on that. I'm impressed. Nice, though it seems a bit pricey.

Yo, lol thats a ton of cash! A friend of mine is trying to get rid of the vid card he just bought... so he can buy and even newer one... I forget what it is tho... Also, where are you getting your parts? Some of them seem a bit pricey.

thats not cheap, and if you think it is than you must be a pop star

It's quite expensive. Although, the parts themselves are reletively cheap in price when compared to other vendors. I did my research and I get my parts from Newegg (newegg.com) and Monarch Computers (monarchcomputer.com).

Edit: Oops! I forgot that I went with the Radeon X1800 XT instead of the X850 XT PE! I'll change that now.
