Sorry I missed raid tonight. Signed up late last night anyways. Wont be on rest of the week, Im working 10-12 hour shifts all week long. Should be back to a normal type schedule next week, which should mean my making Wed and prob tuesdays again.
Now I dont trust myself enough to build my own gaming rig so I decided to buy a new toy. Now its not top of the line and has some old hardare on it but I have a friend that uses this exact rig and he can run any game he wants on the highest graphics settings with no fps drops and his fps stays high at all times. But for the price I think its a great deal. Lemme know what you think.

yea but compared to waht im using now...a integrated 128mb card its leaps and bounds better. Like I said, i know it has some older gear but its sooo much better then what im playin on now...and I can always get a better vid card in there later =-) Put the bunny back in the box......
So I get to throw a 22 inch moniter on top of this bad boy...a friend of mine just bought a 24inch and is goin to sell me his year old 22inch for $70. Cant wait to ty out my new toy =-) Put the bunny back in the box......
Once you start on the large screens LCD.. you'll never be able to go back to the CRT's or anything smaller than 22". My 22" lcd died recently.. I thought I had decided to only need a 18-19" lcd for WoW because of my pc not being able to run at the native resolutions of the 22"+ LCDs (1920x,2048x).. in the end I picked a 26" LCD.. bahha

I'd say a very good MMO/RTS Machine. As Sarran pointed out the vid card is a little lower spec'd but when price comes into play it's good to go you will see lag & stuttering on newer FPS games if you try cranking settings.
Without any detailed specs the only real thing I could suggest on is if you replace the drive with a 7200RPM with 16mb cache or more you'll get better load times on maps but hey that's a good thing to do down the road when you have extra $$$ floating & are ready to brave clonezilla

lol, Dork said that if I got your approval on tihs machine then I did a good in my choosing =-) The ram is upgradable to 16gigs...course I dont see why I would even ever need to do that >< Put the bunny back in the box......

RAMDisk -- not used to much these days but hey if you want more info on it lemme know.
If you have a spare $140 I would suggest you pick up the Intel X25-V 40GB SSD and use that as your boot drive with your 1 most important game on there you'll love the performance increase you get out of that. “Stand up.

hehe no extra $140...wife is already wanting to cut out my heart with a spoon for buying the thing...seriously...she told me that and even tried it >< Put the bunny back in the box......
