wow, you’ve basically built your own computer. i’m not savvy enough, but with what you’re getting, the amount your spending doesn’t sound bad. just went to best buy today. my hubs doesn’t want me to get a $400 tower o_O he doesn’t realize that sometimes cheap means it will crap out on you w/i 5 years. gah!
