Possible new rig, any thoughts?

Postby CaptainT38 » Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:47 pm

I've been in the market looking at new rigs that I might be able to buy in the summer, and came across this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6883229012

does anyone think it's a good deal or would it be cheaper to build my own.
specs (uggh): AMD Turion 64X2 TL-60 (2.00 ghz) 2GB DDRII, ATI Radeon Xpress X1150

Looks like a pretty good rig for the price, that comment about the HD rolling around loose in the box worries me however.
You could probably build something a little better for the money but if you're not experienced at this sort of thing I wouldn't bother ;)

500GB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT

Thats one heck of a graphics card...  ;D


The price, if converted down to GBP, is pretty good for the componants it comes with.

The graphics card is good, the processer is pretty nice too...

I would get it.

Cheap and nasty case, also PSU quality (or lack of?)
