I just hope I can keep it away from the lightning strikes this time. I had that issue with the last one.

All I ask is for pics when you have it set up.

You'll get a few. It's all red with red neon inside that synchs with the sound or something. Keyboard is red also. The blue mouse is for the kids since we have a nice Logitec rechargeable-optical-cordless.

Lisa was concerned about the monitor not matching the rest of the rig. I wasn't concerned since it's getting a little bigger this time.

Would you believe that we aren't gamers?

I had to look up Far Cry to see what it was about.

be sure to open the case up and examine it before powering it up. I've gotten several systems from them that get jarred in shipping and things get loose and one where they even forgot to put thermal tape on the cpu fan.

I will. I didn't have any problems with the last one until after lightning took out the NIC and over half of the router. I think the motherboard is going south because of that now. So I'm going to stick with them. If I wasn't in such a rush. I should be building it myself. I guess I'll get to learn with the old machine. I'm ordering a new MB for it today, then the kids can bang on it.

I couldn't pass up their sale price on a 64 bit system. Lisa wants to copy our videotapes onto DVD, otherwise I wouldn't have even gotten a DVD player.

Thanks!
