Opinions, Gents?

I am green with envy. When I get over it I'll give you my opinion.

Hmmmm....in that case I'd better not mention the Logitech G11 keyboard and the 22" widescreen monit....................rats.

Doh!

That's very close to what I have now Phule (except I have dual core Athlon at 2.8) and you will like it. Warning though- the Sony optical drive probably runs the Nero software, and the video decoder is only a 30 day trial unless you buy the decoder seperately. Talk to your buider and see if he can fix you up there.

Ahh man, a nice combination. Now your good to go! I can only dream of such hardware.

~S~

Congrats sir! enjoy it
