Specs:
- ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP - Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13 GHz - 2 x 1 GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 PC2 6400 Dual Channel RAM - 150 GB Western Digital 10,000 RPM Raptor - 500 GB Western Digital 7,200 RPM Storage Drive - 20.1" ViewSonic Widescreen LCD - XFX GeForce 8600 GTS 256 MB PCI Express x16 Video Card - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE - 2 x Samsung 18X DVD DL Burners - Lian Li Aluminum Mid Tower - Linkskey 19-in-1 Internal Card Reader/Writer - Antec TruePower 2.0 550 Watt PSU - Zalman 92mm CPU Cooling Fan with Heatsink - Artic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - Logitech MX3000 Cordless Desktop Laser Mouse and Keyboard - Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Comments: I cannot say enough how much I like NewEgg. The computer was ordered Thursday (9/21/2006) afternoon and was delivered Tuesday (9/26/2006). Everything came without damage, scratches, etc. The computer came to $2120 minus $70 for two mail-in rebates and it was $2050. That comes in much cheaper then the comparable Dell. Updates: - NewEgg sent 2 discs for the DVD burners 2nd Day Air since they accidentally left them out of my order. - One stick of RAM went bad and NewEgg exchanged my set of RAM for two new sticks under warranty. - My Western Digital 150GB Raptor Hard Drive failed and Western Digital replaced it for free under the 5 year warranty with an advanced RMA option. - My XFX GeForce 7900GT Video Card fried and XFX replaced it with an XFX GeForce 8600GTS Video Card as a free upgrade under the lifetime warranty since the 7900GT is no longer produced. - I finally added a sound card, albeit an entry level card. That said the improvement over onboard sound is quite noticeable and worth the small investment. Pictures:         NOTE: RAM is not properly setup for Dual-Channel in this picture...      I love these shots of the video card...      Temporary setup pictured: I was formatting my laptop and had the desktop pulled out so I could open it up and get inside to check on things...     DVD Drives only look gray because the flash went off and the tower is aluminum. It is actually a very close color match...  ASUS Power Indicator Light!     RAM is now properly placed in DIMM slots A1 and B1 to run in Dual-Channel now....  Here is the final setup now that my desk is cleaned up. I have the Linksys Wireless Access Point hooked up to my apartment complex's free internet. That is dedicated to my laptop. I use the cable internet on a dedicated hardwire to my desktop. I love this computer and the setup of having a powerhouse desktop and decent laptop!  Ballar! Nice and simple just the way I like it. Nothing that screams look at me and it's all about the stuff inside. I couldn't ask for a better setup for the money!  MBtB trying to be mellow |
