| 522838 | 2007-02-05 21:14:00 | I think you might've missed the part where I said I'M ALREADY $600 OVER MY ORIGINAL BUDGET. As for why go Vista - why not? If I'm building a new computer then why not put a new os in it? As for ultimate vs home premium, the only thing ultimate has over home premium are: Protect against hardware failure with Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore Easier business networking connectivity with Networking Center and Remote Desktop Better protect your data against loss with Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Which isn't much. sounds like a nice machine, how much xtra was the ultimate over premium anyway. doesn't it suck to blow ya budget |

| 522839 | 2007-02-05 21:41:00 | yea what he built had the exact same gfx, mobo i have no idea, but i forgot that you had the OS as well, and plus he performed self assembly, if you include all that then maybe $2K is worth the dosh. | kingping (11473) | ||

| 522841 | 2007-02-06 05:33:00 | Which is probably why SuperCheap did so well for so long. All the people that just want cheap without worrying about quality or after sales service. i usually go to c1 shoppingmall, madkiwi, or ascent... i'll never go to super cheap again. Why waste those specs on a floppy drive? :lol: they come in handy |

| 522842 | 2007-02-06 05:53:00 | OK, i just spent 5 minutes putting my half built system up, and realised if i add in video card, monitor, and vista, then subtract PSU and case, i spend about $100 less and get a 320gb seagate harddrive and better ram, so my previous comment is a bit of an overstatement, but you still could do slightly better get the 320GB hardrive, and whatever you do stick with a 7600gt, but possibly consider a different brand. |

Because it lights up blue in the dark. (www.saitek.com) |

Sorry I forgot to mention the case in my original post, it's a Raidmax Ninja 918 Gaming Tower Case 520W (qmb.co.nz) So if anything, with that case added, your setup is more expensive by $100 |
