Looks already pretty gamer to me. :) One thing tho, don't bother buying a 754 processor, go for a 939, as others mentioned. If you're thinking of dual channelling, buy paired rams. Also, if you are building a raid, look for reliable HDs. -- Joe -- Money can't buy everything. Sometimes money can't even buy a gun... -- [email protected] mailing list
