AMD Athlon X2 4800+

Dual 7800 GTX? 3Gb RAM? Jeepers! What are you doing with that thing, decoding the human genome?

He is playing PC games faster, more beautifully than anyone of us could hope to imagine. He probably can see Dr. Vance's nose hairs and Alyx's nipples through her shirt!

You got robbed.
(To the person who made this rig)
Its a great setup, however if you consider to do some gaming I'd recommend another gig of ram.
What is your mobo?
What is your case??

That'll be my first and possibly only upgrade in the near future.

Case: (New!!!) Mesh Chieftec ATX Black/Silver Case +550w PSU.
I don't know what that means or if it's good or bad...
Motherboard: SLI-Nforce4 athlon/64 S939 PCI Express LAN/AUD./1394
I honestly don't even know if what I've quoted above even refers to the motherboard I'm getting, it just seemed to me to be the most likely on my PC specs document...Correct me if I'm wrong. Does that mean I get integrated sound or do I get an audigy card (AUD???)?
Jesus, buying a computer's a complicated business these days.
Any good?
Other things I get with the deal- Cordless D-Top Optical Keyboard & Mouse.
Dig TV capture card with remote etc.
ASUS wireless-138G, IEEE802 11G/B PCI Card.
3 yrs onsite warranty.

Your mother board is an nVidia nForce 4 based one that works with the Athlon 64, socket 939. It has the PCI Express graphics slots (two for SLI, get another 7800 if you win a lottery), and built in LAN, audio, and I think Firewire. I think that's what 1394 is, but I'm tired and my memory is crap right now. It's probably good, but that can depend on the brand somewhat. Different brands can have similar components, based on the nForce 4 mother board for example, but built to different quality levels.

Well that doesn't sound too bad. Cheers.

Case is crap....and your mobo is a waste. (Why an SLI??)
Is this retail or are you building??

Well it's part of a retail deal that I had no choice in but upgradability is important to me anyway so everyone's a winner.
As for the case...never mind, it's only a case.

Unless I had unlimited funds, the case would be near the bottom of the list. I'd rather have "go" than "show." Both would be nice, but a hundred bucks for a nicer looking case, or another gig of RAM? The RAM would win. The magic happens when you hit the power switch anyway.
It's a decent case. Nothing especially good or bad about it.

Mesh.
www.mescomputers.co.uk
They usually perform quite well in labs tests.
The computer just arrived today. Speakers are very impressive and I'm enjoying being able to do several processor-intensive tasks at the same time without noticing slowdown.

Dunno, never heard of them, are they a US brand? Either way, my knowledge of the computing world is poor at best, hence this thread.
