I'm 1 mobo and CPU from wrapping this up. :yay:

I'm currently around $150 spent with $150 - $200 left. We'll see what I can do with the rest. These Fry's prices are untouchable right now. I haven't seen a quality part blow-out like this in a long time.


HDDs and components will be handed down.

Look at newegg, I got a Biostar motherboard (AM2) with an 4400 X2 processor for 130 a couple of weeks ago

*searching for mobos now*


just an FYI on Fry's ... they're fast. My case and PSU are at my doorstep already. That took about 1.5 days from time of order placement.

I wouldn't mind upgrading my RAM in my computer but I don't NEED to as I don't play any games on it. Though if I want to play the Unreal III that I got (:rick I do need to upgrade the RAM AND Video Card...:hs:

I've never seen them blow stuff out on a daily basis like this.

The MIR's are rough though. They need to be mailed in within 10 days of purchase. That includes weekends and shipment time too.
