Nice system :).

Though, I don&#39;t think you should have bought the Asus Dvd-Rom, as you already bought the Mercury Dvd-Rw.

How&#39;s your gaming experience with the new system? What games did you tested it with?

Kinda high price it seems to me..you built it im guessing though&#33; Pretty nice. Yeah the dvdrom with the dvd burner is kinda wierd.

Yeah &#036;1514 seems way high.

That&#39;s not USD or is it?

Got to DVD Rom so he can do on the fly copies of dvds. Really useful for making copies of DVDs in about 15 mins.

yeah price seems high to me to......... i got nearly the same a month ago (cept the video card, that was 9200 SE instead of 9800) for 700 euro

so for the confusion but this is canadian dollars.

And this is also after Canadian taxes (15%)

&#036;1514 cdn

and for those too lazy, that works out to &#036;1 127.26 USD ;)

If anyone&#39;s interested, that&#39;s 5,410,860.25 Zambian Kwacha&#39;s :P

Or, exactly 2 1/2 goats.

Getting change back from 3 goats can be messy though.
