Well, i just ordered my new computer compenets. I sure has been nice knowing you all :sweatingbullets: . When the wife finds out, she is going to kill me. :yahoo: Hopefully i can get it paid off little but little and she will never know (i have 6 months of no interest on my newegg account). I have about $360 cash right now hid away, so i think i can squeeze the rest out in 6 months.

Ok here is the specs and price:

Thanks Chris. I just am a little worried about the Biostar board. Never used one before. I have used ECS, and Bio has to be better than that LOL.

Yeah, I was wondering to. But if it lasts a year then you can get a good one really cheap by then probably.

BioStar is certainly a budget board, they are kinda of hit and miss many times, wish you the best with it.

switched to an eVGA 7600gt 256mb ddr3 card. the reason that i chose the biostar is because of the package options. the motherboard was the only ATX option the rest being microATX, three of which were ECS, one was ASUS (horrid reviews) and one bio micro. I tried to choose the best out of the bunch.

My parts are predicted to be here Wednesday. I just hope i am here when they are delivered to hide them LOL. I work at 4pm and they are said to be here at 4:30. Hmmm...

Yes, DFI would be nice, but i don't have the funds to buy it.

Yea yea, old thread, but i just purchased 2 more sticks of the EXACT RAM for $49usd with a $24usd mail in rebate (who knows if i will actually get it though). Today is the last day of the rebate, so who knows hmmm? Still under 50 for 2 gigs...jeah babbby, running Vista Ult x64 with 4gb of RAM, my VMware experience should increase. :giggle:
