| 825236 | 2009-10-29 06:41:00 | IMO Yes. But what edition of windows 7? You might even be able to get more from it! |

| 825237 | 2009-10-29 06:46:00 | Yes, I'd think that would be worth around $1900. | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 825238 | 2009-10-29 08:31:00 | Are foxconn motherboards ok now? That was the only thing that jumped out at me as bad but thats an outdated opinion Otherwise looks pretty sweet, graphics will be holding the beast back though |

| 825240 | 2009-10-29 09:09:00 | Yep - except that you could probably get an even slightly better graphic card for that money. And, is that WD 320GB the only HDD? For a budget of $1,900 I think you should be able to get a fast HDD for system & applications and a large but slower HDD (WD Greenpower 1TB for example) for data. Good luck with new computer :) |
