Yeah, My PC is getting outdated quickly but I don't need a beast. I (will) have a PS3 for that!

Yeah but it's kinda confuddling to install other OS.

And it has to wait 'til I can be bothered to read that huge articule by IBM.

With the new firmware updates on the PS3 you can now install Linux on it, and if you know your way around with that then you can use a PS3 for almost anything.

Swap the WD drive to a seagate, 320 gig ones only cost about $100 bucks if you want the extra storage.

If your wanting a better video card, the new line of 8800GT's can outperform some of the $1000 video cards. (the GT's only cost $400)

naw, the WD hdd is alright. msy just emailed me and said that they'll up to 500gb for extra 10 bucks!

and yeah, the new cards are very awesome. that's why i'm getting it! :P

i suggest 8800GT 512mb but if you want a faster one, the 8800GTS 512mb

Oh Vinzor... 8800GT's outperform the GTSs. If you can, get an EVGA factory overclocked one. They're the best 8800GTs.

No, WD is not alright. There warranties are ****, and the drives always **** up.
