iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 1, 2004 Hey, nice computer!!!I almost built my own, but then decided on a beefed up system from a store instead, cause building my own would've cost much more (unless I ran Linux or some "free" software ). I would've gotten a better computer, though....Hehe, I got a fancy case with blue lights (pretty much useless, I know, but cool!) ooh, and I also added a 120 GB WD hard drive, so now I have 280 GB internal and 40 GB external storage, yay!It's fun to play with computers!What do you use your computer for? Hard core gaming?kiwi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
