cyberpower and ibuypower didn't do so hot
Some GOOD system builders that won't pwn your wallet:
ABS
Velocity Micro
Vicious Gaming

$1900+ seems like a lot of money to spend for what you are getting there. You could have built it yourself with better components for less.
I hope it works out for you though. Keep us updated.

I already have a MX510 and I have a good keyboard as well.
And to Preach, I would have ordered the components on my own and put it together but I dunno, i've never put a whole computer together. I've done bits and pieces here and there, so I just figured it would be safer this way.

Mad,
Yes! Please keep us informed. I got charged too much on my property taxes and got a NICE refund from the old gov'mt. I've been looking at system builders daily (built the last 2 myself). I definitely want to upgrade to a core2 duo system with SLI potential.
For the guru's out there ...do you think it's a good move to save a few hundred $$'s and get x1 7950 GTX instead of x2 7900 GTX in SLI mode? |

Do you do anything that would need SLI? I think SLI is overkill IMHO.
