Well i got a custom-built pc for christmas : HT pentium 4 3.0Ghz, 1GB 800Mhz DDR2 RAM, GeForce 52OOFX. 200GB HD. that sort of spec is very decent : half life 2 flies along. oh btw get half life 2 it has to be seen to be believed... visual effects and enemy AI are especially stunning

I'd just say 2 things. Change the hard drive for a western digital one cause they are much better and more reliable. And 2 those Q-tec cases aren't the best. The Power Supplies they come with are crap and the cases are just a pain to use. I can see why you would recommend them tho cause they are very cheap and your mano is on a budget.

I love the chieftec ones

but you would be adding another e50 onto ur cost. But that case is brilliantly designed
