Also, i feel obligated to inform you all that it would be coming from www.ibuypower.com . i have checked their resellerratings, and am not too impressed. Any input on ibuypower as a company???

Also, taking full advantage of dells 20% off + no tax + free shipping deal on the 20.1 " Dell 2001fp. and that bad boy will be arriving at my door in a few days for a woopping $719 brand new 3 year warrenty! WOOT

Well, im looking forward to hearing all your input on the system. And would also appreciate any other places you all know of that sell customized or nice gaming systems in a similar price bracket!

Drink beer, and be merry!
 
there's no mobo listed....which means it's probably a sucky one....=/

can't you build one? it's usually a better idea to build your own systems if you're spending that much anyway

oops forgot the mobo
Foxconn 755A01-6EKRS SIS-755 Chipset w/5.1 Sound, LAN, IEEE-1394, USB 2.0 8x AGP Motherboard

as for building my own system, never tried to so i dont know that i cant.. but i dont think this is a good system to learn on....
 
everything seems pretty good. just to let you know that ive had nothing but trouble with maxtor drives. i have bought a few drives from them in the past and they stopped working after about 2 weeks of use. this was about a year ago and ill never use their products again. id go with hitachi, western digital, or seagate for large capacity hard drives. just my 2 cents.

I would personally take a pass on anything but an nVidia board for an Athlon64. SiS boards usually end up being buttom-rung cheap OEM boards, and you can bet that Firewire controller uses a shitty VIA chipset that only works with some devices some of the time. My advice, look at something like a shuttle, all the instructions you will need to build it come with and you can get the same parts for the same price.
