My aunt is a mole, she has highly active memberships and forum accounts on almost every retail/discount/tech/review site on the net. What looks like non-partial personal experience from an active forum member might actually be a paid endorsement.Quote:

Seriously, save some money, learn something. It is not hard to drop in a CPU, then put in a bit of thermal interface material. If you want to use the stock heatsink, you just put it on since it has some thermal paste on there already.Quote:

640 gb RAID hdds (2x 320)
Internal water cooling system
Overall i'm very happy because i know this beast will not have any problems running what i want and should last me like 4 years. Dad will be paying about 110 a month or so for it.
Yes i know dells are "meh" but for the financing he needs to get me a new computer at the moment...it's necessary. Also comes with WoW pre-installed and updated :) So all i need to do is x-fer it to the other drive. I'll be getting it the day after x-mas.
