klipsch all the way man. A good 2.1 set up is far better than a decent 5.1 any day.

Im not sure which laser mouse to get yet the g5 or the mx1000. I heard the g7 had some odd problems.

Gotta love the 7900 ko too.

I had an old socket A epox mobo with dual channel ram before any of the other manufactures had that option. I loved it! (i think they were the first also the first with the promise sata raid driver)

One day while gaming with it, I had the side cover off of my case and all of a sudden there was a bright orange light and POW a chip on my mobo fried. But i do miss the board though.

About six to eight months. Then i got the msi k7n2 delta. I did like the onboard led diognostic light that gave a number code for any problems.
My mobo has that too. I've had it for close to a year now and I haven't had anything break on me.

Dell 8600

I'm sorry....

I wish the general populus would hurry up and realize how much Dell and all those other companies overcharage for their stuff. I made an approximately equivalent PC to my custom build on Dell and HP. I spent under $2000. The Dell and HP versions each broke $3000. I'm sorry, but tech support in india from someone who barely speaks english is not worth over $1000 to me. Maybe others disagree, but I have a feeling they are in the minority. Sorry, I had to do my Dell rant. I just had to...

I think that's true with all companies that sell a "gaming" machine...Including Alienware, Voodoo PC's and mostly all the other companies.

Yeah, but at least with Falcon Northwest you can get custom airbrush designs.

Yes it is, though from my experience, Dell is the worst. I could be wrong though.

I KNOW. My parents bought me the laptop, and I had no knowledge of what was good or bad at the time.
