[DemonEyez]

eh since when did WD make 300gb raptor drives?
if u wait around btw looking for good deals u can build a awesome computer for cheap

example

Asus p5nd2
2gb ocz pc 6400 ddr2
intel pentium D 3.6ghz
zalman cnps7500 AT
antec Sonata II case w/ 450 2.0 PS
evga 7900 gt ko video card
soundblaster x-fi platinum
NEC 16x dual layer dvd burner
logitech MX 5000 keyboard/mouse set
Western Digital 250gb sata II 7200 rpm

All that for just barely under 1k.

while pricewatch is nice and all keep an eye out on www.fatwallet.com head to forums up top then hot deals top left. i took 3 months to find all the parts at cheap prices

like the 250gb hard drive for 20 bucks at a local retailer.
processor for 80 bucks. sound card for 120.

LOL....wow, every1 here recommends AMD still, Intel Core 2 Duo for gaming. Just look it up. Cheapest one is a Core 2 Duo 1.83 ghz for about $190 and it could EASILY beat AMD's X2 3800+(also a dual core). And in some cases(take a look at the link) it can beat the X2 5000+(which is about $750). AMD's probably shitting their pants right about now.... LOL...ppl are still say AMD for gaming, that's freakin hilarlious..... INTEL CORE 2 DUO FTW!!!!!



here some benchmarks...
